The Spanish striker, the club’s record signing, has netted three times for the Blues in the Premier League, all with his head, which prompted Hazard to take a little dig at his new teammate.
‘Like you saw, I saw he is a good player,’ Hazard said earlier this week. ‘I saw that he scores with his head, now he needs to score with his feet!’
But Conte does not care how Morata is finishing his chances as long as he’s scoring, and will be hoping to see plenty more headed goals during Morata’s stay in west London.
‘I think it is right to score,’ said a slightly bemused Conte, unaware of the quotes.
‘I’m happy if he scores with his feet or his head. It’s not important. Or with chest! Or his back! It’s important to score and to try to improve himself every day.’
As well as scoring all his goals with his head, his two assists have also come via the same way, and Morata saw the funny side to Hazard’s message.
Jejeupdates take is a Goal is a Goal. Goodluck Morata.
