Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte has said that his decision to revert to a back three is the reason why they have emerged Premier League champions.
The Blues defeated West Brom 1-0 at The Hawthorns on Friday night, to clinch their fifth title in 13 years.
Conte, who is only in his first season at Stamford Bridge, started the campaign with a back four, but switched to a 3-4-3 system after defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal last September.
“That decision changed our season. We had to change and find a new suit for our team. In my mind there was this option to play a 3-4-3 because I knew I had the players to do that.
“We were not lucky, we did a great job. It’s important to rest. It is a great season but now we can win the FA Cup.
“Every game I feel like I have played with my players! I show my passion and my will, my desire to stay with my players in every moment of the game. This is me, I am this.
“In the present, in the past, I stay with my players in positive and negative situations. We won this title together,” he said after the game at West Brom.
