Conte says Chelsea will "fight until the end" despite facing "great
difficulties" this season.
Olivier Giroud's header gave them a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Stamford
Bridge and kept them in the hunt for a Champions League place.
The victory moves Chelsea to within two points of Tottenham in fourth and
three behind third-placed Liverpool with two games to play.
"For sure today was a must-win game against a strong team, a really good
team," Conte told
Sky Sports.
"It was a good game, great desire, great will to keep the hope alive. I'm
very happy for the players and the fans because they deserve this kind of
game, a good game.
"Our target is to try to finish the season in the best possible way, to try
to fight and to the best satisfaction of our fans.
"In the league we are struggling, we are struggling a lot for many reasons
but despite the great difficulties of this season, we are still alive and we
want to fight until the end."
Conte also praised match-winner Giroud for the impact he has had since
arriving from Arsenal in January.
"He's brought great personality, we're talking about an international player
with a lot of experience," he added.
"Maybe this team need it, to have this type of player. Today he played a
very good game, he worked very hard with and without the ball and I'm
pleased with the performance of the whole team."
