Conte Deceived And Fooled Me – Ex-Chelsea Player Blasts Tottenham Boss

Michy Batshuayi has called out former Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte, saying the Italian signed him under false pretenses at Stamford Bridge.

Infoexpert24 reports that the Belgian striker said that Conte was always contradicting himself.

Batshuayi moved to Chelsea in 2016 in a deal worth £35million, after an impressive spell at Marseille.

However, over a six-year spell at Stamford Bridge, Batshuayi struggled to establish himself as a regular in Chelsea’s starting XI.

He scored 25 goals in 77 games across all competitions and spent much of his time out on loan.

The Belgian striker finally parted ways with the west London club for good.

He said he felt betrayed by Conte after the Italian promised to play him in a certain formation, only to unexpectedly change his tactics.

“Conte was constantly contradicting himself,” Batshuayi told Sport.

“To start with my arrival. He called me and explained his project. He wanted me to play in a two-man frontline alongside Diego Costa.

“Did I believe that? Of course, because Conte has played with two attackers all his career. Except at Chelsea with me.

“I do not understand. The truth is that I have been fooled far too often.”

Michy Batshuayi currently plays as a striker for Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe.
