Asked about a potential double, Conte said in a press conference: “I like to win every competition in every season.
“For sure, it won’t be easy in the league or in the FA Cup.
“If you ask me whether I want to win a competition, of course yes; it’s important to have that winning mentality when you are a Chelsea coach or a player.”
