Chelsea midfielder Cesc: Conte and Simeone both want their players to die for them

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas admits he can see similarities between manager Antonio Conte and Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone.

Atletico will host Chelsea in the Champions League tonight.

Asked about the two coaches, Cesc told Marca: "They have a philosophy of football very much of their own and they want players who are with them to death.

"The two have succeeded. We are working very well. Everything he tells us, ends up working and that reinforces his position in the group. He came and told us things as they were and they worked out just the way they were.

"With Cholo, he did the same."
