Chelsea boss Antonio Conte claims “working very well” is more important than “reaching a Final or winning a trophy.”
Conte's first season at Chelsea culminated in a Premier League triumph, which the Italian described as “a little miracle”, but he admitted his second year at Stamford Bridge was primarily about building for the future.
“This is already a good season, because we are doing 120 percent,” the former Juventus boss said ahead of the Blues' League Cup semi-final against Arsenal.

Conte's first season at Chelsea culminated in a Premier League triumph, which the Italian described as “a little miracle”, but he admitted his second year at Stamford Bridge was primarily about building for the future.
“This is already a good season, because we are doing 120 percent,” the former Juventus boss said ahead of the Blues' League Cup semi-final against Arsenal.
“I'm doing a fantastic job; the same my players. It is not important if you reach the Final or win a trophy or win the League.
“The most important thing is to see if the Coach and players are working very well.
“There are two teams in this League who are top. The others have to fight for a place in the Champions League.
“Last season we did a fantastic job and did a little miracle. This season is showing this.
“The situation (at Chelsea) changes. The past can be one way. The present can be in another way. The future can be in another way.
“What happened three years, 10 years or eight years ago was totally different. Now we have to fight with our work.”
