Spurs didn't bought anyone so far as he gave the interview so how did they overtake the title winner Chelsea?!
The need for patience was very much a theme ahead of the Spurs clash and Conte even went as far to claim that he will need four years to build the foundations he wants to work from.
“Last season we did a fantastic season because there wasn’t this foundation or basis. We started to build this foundation and we won, so it means we built something. But now it’s not enough, so we have to improve, to extend this basis, work together with new players.” ... “We have started this path and we want to continue together to improve and to bring this club to have a solid foundation to stay a long time at the top and to try to fight to win the Champions League and the League. A club like Chelsea must have this ambition. But I repeat we need time. We must have patience to work.
How do you built a "long term" foundation with 20+ young players out on loan oh the irony.. but well it's Chelsea they can simply buy expensive players no need for developing players.
Antonio Conte does not believe Chelsea can be considered favourites for the Premier League title as the Italian again suggested discontent with the champions' close-season dealings in the transfer market.
Yeah, as the last season title winner who replaced leaving players on every position you are not supposed to be labeled a title favorite..
