‘I want to have this Problem’ – Chelsea boss Conte Says Matic is not for Sale

Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has made it clear midfielder Nemanja Matic is going nowhere and believes the Serbia international can become one of the best in the world, Goal writes.

Conte takes charge
Matic was inspirational as Chelsea romped to a first title in five years during the 2014/15 campaign, but was far from his best during the Blues’ forgettable title defence that saw former coach Jose Mourinho get the boot.

And amid speculation the 27-year-old Serbian midfielder is surplus to requirement at Stamford Bridge following the signing of N’Golo Kante from Leicester City, Conte has offered glowing endorsement of the player’s abilities.

“Matic is a very important player for me, he is very important in my idea of football,” Conte said ahead of Thursday’s International Champions Cup match against Liverpool in Pasadena.

Staying on! Matic to remain at the Bridge
“He knows this and I’m delighted by his attitude and behaviour and I see in him commitment. I know with work he can become a fantastic midfielder, one of the best in the world. He is not for sale.”
Rather than being replacements for one another, the Italian tactician believes both men can operate together alongside an impressive midfield cast that also features Nigeria captain John Obi Mikel.
“N’Golo is a good player and he was a target of our market. I am pleased the club bought this player and he is fantastic,” he explained.
“In a great team it is important to see the right attitude in all the players…I can’t wait to see him and work with him and to transfer my idea of football to him.” 
“Then when you have N’Golo Kante, Cesc [Fabregas], [Nathaniel] Chalobah and so on, it’s not easy to choose [in midfield]. I want to have this problem.”
Chelsea will be looking to get their 2016/17 Premier League campaign off to a winning start when West Ham United visit the Bridge August 14.

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi...
