Conte dismissed the idea that a player should be selfish to reach a top level

Antonio Conte, who is the Blues manager has made a vow that, he will never buy a selfish player for the club (Chelsea).

He said this, due what some people are saying that, Eden Hazard can reach the

level of Lionel Messi if he becomes more selfish on the pitch. This makes Chelsea boss to said, he would rather lose a game than have such player in his squad.

While speaking in a news conference on Monday at Cobham, he said, the rumour of Messi been a selfish player is untrue.

“No, no, no, absolutely not,” Conte said when he was asked if Hazard should be more selfish while playing on the pitch.

“I don’t think that a player like Messi is a selfish player. The first target for every great champion is to play for the team and to put your talent into the team. If you do this, the team [increases] your talent.

“The best players in the world don’t exist without a team. For me, it’s sad to listen to this, that a player must ‘be more selfish’ to reach the top level. That’s very sad. It’s not my idea of football and I will never understand this. Never, never. In my team, I don’t want selfish players.

“I prefer to lose a game than to have a selfish player. For me, I don’t want this and I can’t accept this. I don’t want my club to buy me a selfish player one day. Never. No.”
