Antonio Conte has led Chelsea to the top of the Premier League following a stunning run of nine straight victories, with the Italian now revealing one of the secrets to his success.
While Pep Guardiola has stopped his Manchester City players from drinking fizzy drinks and removed pizza and fruit juice from post-match meals, Conte believes allowing his players to indulge in a beer after matches can play a key role in their recovery from 90 minutes.
Striker Diego Costa was filmed drinking a bottle of beer in the dressing room after his late goal beat West Brom on Sunday, while still in his kit, and Conte believes this method of recovery is helpful to the striker and the rest of his squad.
