The Brazilian endured a difficult relationship with the Italian during their two years working together at Stamford Bridge.He admitted after the game he would be elsewhere by now had Conte been stood in the technical area: 'Would I be here if Conte stayed? No chance. No.But Willian has remained, and even started Maurizio Sarri's first game in charge on Saturday - a 3-0 win away at Huddersfield.Willian's relationship with Conte deteriorated throughout his troubled second season in charge, with the Brazilian photoshopping the Italian out of an Instagram post celebrating the club's FA Cup triumph in May.But he is now enjoying working under new boss Sarri and implementing his style of play, even in these early stages of the new campaign.
Asked if he was having fun he replied: 'I think so. We have a lot of players with quality up front, players like Eden Hazard and Pedro. Players like that want to play football.
'That's why Sarri talked about 'fun' football because he wants to build from the back. This is what we will try to do this season.
