Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi: Conte relationship perfect

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi is happy after a first week of training under manager Antonio Conte.

Batshuayi has trained alongside his new teammates for little more than a week and scored his first goals in Chelsea colours during Thursday night's 8-0 thrashing of Atus Ferlach in a behind-closed-doors friendly.

"I have a perfect relationship with the coach," he told the club's official website. "I already feel like I am progressing a lot under him.

"I am still young, 22, and I am happy to have a great coach who will make me improve.

"Training has been very tactical and very physical, it's been on another level.

"It's been different to what I experienced before because you have to be 100 per cent concentrated in every session."
