Chelsea
boss Antonio Conte was in defiant mood after seeing the pressure mount on
his position with a 4-1 defeat to Watford on Monday.
There have been reports Conte could be sacked if Chelsea's below-par start
to the year continues.
More questions are likely to be asked after a slack display at Vicarage
Road, with Tiemoue Bakayoko dismissed after 30 minutes and Watford scoring
three late goals to secure a resounding win.
Asked by Sky Sports whether he has concerns about his future at the club,
Conte said: "No. It is not my problem. I try to do my job. I try to put
everything in my job. If this is enough, it's OK. Otherwise they can take
their decision."
Conte acknowledged Chelsea are in a "difficult moment", but added: "I tried
to warn everyone about the difficulty of our path and in the league of
trying to find our place in the Champions League, but now we are facing a
lot of difficulties and you can see we perform very bad.
"Maybe I made mistakes with the starting XI. The starting XI was wrong
because our start was very poor and it was difficult to change something."
Reflecting on Chelsea's performance, he said: "Our performance was very bad
from the start. We didn't start in the right way and we lose a lot of
dangerous balls. Bad performance. When you start in this way anything can
happen. A red card after two yellow cards in a few minutes. Our start was
very poor."
