Conte insists he is not feeling the pressure after Chelsea fought back to
snatch a thrilling 4-2 win over Watford.
Michy Batshuayi came off the bench to score twice at Stamford Bridge as the
champions came from 2-1 down to secure their first win in four matches.
Chelsea looked on course for a third straight Premier League defeat when
Abdoulaye Doucoure and Roberto Pereyra overturned Pedro's early long-range
strike.
But Batshuayi levelled with 19 minutes left before Cesar Azpilicueta's
87th-minute header put Chelsea in front. Batshuayi added his second, and
Chelsea's fourth, in stoppage time.
The last time Chelsea endured three consecutive league losses was in
November 2015 and then-manager Jose Mourinho was sacked a month later.
Conte, however, is not worried.
"I must be honest. I feel a lot of pressure but not this type of pressure -
if the club decide to sack me," Conte said.
"Honestly I will never be worried for this. Never. The pressure is I want
for my players and to give satisfaction for my fans. I feel this type of
pressure. When I go to my house I am happy because I know I am putting 150
per cent for my club and my players are doing the same.
"I think our performance was a good performance because it is not simple to
concede a goal in the last minute of the first half and to then go down in
the first part of the second half.
"I think at that point, our confidence was low. But my players showed me
great desire and will to fight to change the situation and final result. I
think the performance was good and it was important.
"But it is not simple because we are facing a difficult situation but the
performance on the pitch is right, the commitment is right and now we have
to try to recover quickly. I'm satisfied with the performance."
Batshuayi has struggled for regular game time since joining Chelsea in July
2016, but the 24-year-old made the difference in the second half after
coming off the bench in the 61st minute.
"Don't forget Michy is a young player. For him, this is the first big
experience with a great team," Conte added. "Today the impact was incredible
and important, it must continue in this way - work, work, work and to have
the passion to improve.
"I think it is always important to think for the team, not for himself or
myself. The two goals were very important for the team. It is also important
for the confidence of the strikers, but he has to continue to work in this
way and to try with every chance to show he deserves to play."
