The Blues, champions in 2014-15 and 10th last term, have lost their last two Premier League games, to Liverpool and Arsenal. Chelsea have one clean sheet in 15 matches in all competitions and two in the last 25 ahead of Saturday’s Premier League trip to Hull, when captain John Terry (ankle) is again absent.
“We haven’t got a magic wand to change the situation in two months, three months, four months,” Conte said.
“We don’t forget the past. The past is there, it’s very clear. We finished (in) 10th place last season. When you finish 10th, it means you have problems. We must change the situation and we must work hard together and we are doing this.
“At this moment, that’s the most important thing: not to win, (or) to lose. But to understand that only through great work, hard work, can we fill the gap that now we have.”
September passed with Chelsea failing to record a Premier League win. The only success in four games was in the EFL Cup against Leicester.
Conte believes Liverpool, 2-1 winners at Stamford Bridge, and Arsenal, 3-0 winners in last week's derby, are at their best, while Chelsea have room for improvement. In these two games we saw, and we learned, a lot of important things," he added. “We faced two teams who are very strong and, for me, these two teams are now at the top (of their games). We have a lot to improve.
