Although, non of the strikers were on the score-sheet, Morata missed a sitter and he appeared furious after he was substituted. However, Conte was pleased with the show-off of his forward men and he reckons that he could play with the two men upfront in Wembley.
Speaking after the match, the Italian said:
‘Great job with our strikers, because Giroud and Morata I think that they played a fantastic game with a great sacrifice without the ball.
‘They put great pressure on the ball in every moment and we forced them to play these long ball but when you play a long ball and stay in your half of the pitch it’s less dangerous.
‘Tonight, to see Giroud and Morata play in this way, to see this good combination, a good link between them, and then they decide to run and press without ball. ‘I think this is the right way to have satisfaction in the future.’
He was further quizzed if he would consider fielding the duo on Sunday, and he said:
“This could be an option, a possibility, for Sunday or maybe for the future.
