the wes 7,212 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Costa nearly left in the summer as he revealed: “I wanted to go [last summer]. I was about to leave. There were family reasons for wanting to go back to Atletico Madrid, but it wasn’t to be and now I’m happy here. And I’m content. The people at Chelsea love me a lot and the manager, Antonio Conte, told me he counted on me. He is someone we can talk to, somebody whose support we can count on. He is calm with the players. He is not just a boss but a person too and you can see that people love him.” Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless Conte for bringing out the best in Costa in terms of scoring goals and being more disciplined during the games. the wes and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceflix 207 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 More Here : Quote Diego Costa: We are standing side-by-side NEWSMON 2 JAN 2017 Diego Costa has praised the impact made by Antonio Conte this season and also stressed the significance of having a good team spirit in the dressing room. The striker fired in his 14th goal of the season against Stoke City on Saturday as we racked up a 13th straight league success to stay six points clear at the top of the table. He puts much of the turnaround in our fortunes from the disappointing 2015/16 campaign down to Conte’s arrival. ‘The manager has come, he’s applied his ideas, and things are going well,’ Diego Costa noted. ‘The truth is the manager is good with the players, every time making more jokes with the players. That’s good for us, to have a manager who is not just a boss, but like a person we can talk with, someone whose support we can count on in difficult moments. ‘He is calm with the players and you can see the people love him more all the time.’ Diego Costa says he was hampered by injury problems for much of last season and came close to returning to Atletico Madrid in the summer for family reasons. ‘I was about to leave but not because of Chelsea, because here there’s a lot of love with the supporters so I’m very happy here, I'm very content. ‘Here, the people love me a lot. There was one thing I wanted to change for family reasons but it wasn’t to be and I continue to be happy here. It was important too that the manager, from the very first minute, said he counted on me. ‘Things are coming out well for me this season, but it’s very important that the team has other players, like Michy [Batshuayi], who can do well, and that the manager knows he has good players that can replace me.’ The good feeling around the camp has, according to Diego Costa, combined with the effort being put in on the pitch to produce the formula which has embarked us on this record winning streak. We will be going for victory number 14 in a row at White Hart Lane on Wednesday. ‘If you work hard and there’s not a good atmosphere, the work doesn’t mean a thing,’ Diego Costa stated. ‘You can run 20km, 80, 100, and if there’s no spirit between the players, the coaches, as colleagues, it won’t come out as well. Work goes well if you give your best with the guy beside you. ‘The team is very good, when we win the atmosphere is like this, but it’s important that during the week we train seriously, so we approach games like this. ‘It’s important to keep winning games,’ Diego Costa continued, looking forward to the Tottenham trip. ‘Both teams want to win. It’s a London derby so the match is played a bit stronger, but there's no problem with it. We go there looking to do the best we can.’ http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/01/diego-costa--standing-side-by-side-in-pursuit-of-more-success.html Clearly that Conte's arrival has made a bigger impact than we ever imagined, he completely fixed almost everything inside and out!, he knows how to treat people!

Fernando 6,585 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 22 hours ago, Jason said: Diego Costa’s loving feeling keeps him firing for in-form Chelsea Good stuff. This is why Simeone is also loved a lot in A. Madrid. Because he is one of the players. He is humble and a friend with the players. Mourinho used to be this, his first time here. But after Real Madrid he was never the same. This shows that besides being a good tactician you must be as well a motivator. Motivational factors go a long way in a team.

And if we dont win then I dnt care who wins (as long as they aren't in North London or whether we come 2nd,3rd,4th by 10 points.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Chelsea star Diego Costa: This will get me suspended for five games CHELSEA striker Diego Costa admits he could receive a four or five-game ban if he says what he thinks about English referees. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/750986/Chelsea-Diego-Costa-referees-suspended-five-games-news-gossip Original post Diego Costa: "No opino de los árbitros ingleses porque si no me meten cuatro o cinco partidos" http://www.ondacero.es/programas/transistor/audios-podcast/entrevistas/diego-costa_20170105586d88d20cf211d2aa10cd97.html Translation Diego Costa: "I do not think of the English referees because if I do not get four or five matches" The Spanish-Brazilian striker, Diego Costa, when asked about the controversial Premier League referee that has so much affected Guardiola and Mourinho in recent days, has preferred to remain cautious and not say "not be sanctioned with several games without playing," He commented in a jocular tone. In addition, the striker regrets Chelsea's defeat against Tottenham after so many consecutive victories and has also referred to the possibility that he had in summer to return to Atletico Madrid.

This shows that besides being a good tactician you must be as well a motivator. Motivational factors go a long way in a team. True. Managers like Conte and Simeone are only managers because they physically cannot play the game themselves anymore, but they very much still are players at heart when they are kicking, screaming and running around like nutcases on the touchline. I can imagine if I was a player I would love that, and we know now by visual evidence and even some implied quotes that our players are loving that after being ruled by someone who is not one with the players.

Leif 6,006 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Top players have top mentalities. Top players care about their coaches and their club. Taking that and his suspensions into consideration, I deem him average. Bar Torres, in terms of first-choice strikers we've had, he's not even in our top 3 from the past 20 years, and we have not been blessed with that many great strikers compared to other high-profile clubs. If just goals made a striker great, Benzema and Balotelli would be competing for the top honours in a season or 2.

Leif 6,006 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 There could be a chance he actually has a personality disorder like bi-polar or something, many players must, but because of the nature of the game we don't consider that, and thus punish.
