A great man once said that sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and hope everything works out. But it seems that Chelsea manager Antonio Conte refused to take that leap with Michy Batshuayi.
Look at the Belgian International now and everyone will know what a big mistake Conte had made. Batshuayi scored twice for his new club Borussia Dortmund at home against Atlanta, the second being a stoppage-time winner. And now the striker has vented out his anger at Antonio Conte for making him warming the benches at Chelsea.
Batshuayi told Sporza:’It wasn’t always easy at Chelsea. I’m now playing with a lot of confidence,
‘Sitting on the bench, score a goal and then back to the bench is quite difficult to deal with for an attacker.
‘I don’t know if Conte was watching my game. They are focusing on the Premier League (FA Cup) and have an important Champions League tie next week. I hope it turns out well for them,’
