It's normal, after matches, above all if you win the game, that you want to celebrate. But it's important, always, to think about the next game for me." England's record goalscorer now finds his position as captain of his country under threat, but Conte said that football has moved on since his days as a player and that he hasn't had to deal with players being caught drinking in his time as coach of Juventus, Italy and Chelsea. “This situation, as a coach, never happened. It's hard for me to answer that [if the media overreacts], then. In future, if it happens, I'll let you know.” Chelsea travel to Middlesbrough on Sunday, with the possibility of recording their sixth win a row to move to the top of the Premier League table.The Blues currently sit just a point behind Liverpool, who take on Southampton on Saturday.</blockquote>
