'Morata needs to work and improve'

'Morata needs to work and improve but it is normal. He stays with us for only one week', the Italian said after the clash at Wembley.

Antonio Conte was a driving force behind the Spaniard's signing, and he extended his plee to other Chelsea recruits: 'It's the same for [fellow new signing Antonio] Rudiger. It will be the same also for [Tiemoue] Bakayoko'.

'It is very important to find a good physical condition and to understand our idea of football. He needs a bit of time but that's normal', the Blues boss insisted about the former Madrid striker.

Alvaro Morata was introduced in the second half and not only missed the decisive penalty kick, but he also squandered a headed chance which could have avoided the shoot-out altogether.
