Morata: Conte's tactics made me suffer at Chelsea

The Spaniard says that he should have given the Blues a better return in his first season at Stamford Bridge but is eager to impress this time around

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata says Antonio Conte's tactics were part of the reason he "suffered" in his first season in the Premier League.

Morata made an explosive start to his Stamford Bridge career, scoring six goals in six league appearances at the start of 2017-18, but things quickly soured for the Spain international.

A mysterious back problem blighted much of the campaign and he only scored a further five goals in the top flight and four in cup competitions.
