Reports in Conte's native Italy continue to link him with Inter, who are looking to install a new head coach following their sacking of Stefano Pioli.
"They make the difference and they are important players".
Asked specifically about Inter and whether he would take the opportunity to end speculation that he could take over at the San Siro, Conte said: "I repeat what I said before: I have two years of a contract with Chelsea but I also repeat that for me and my players the most important thing is to be focused". It's important now not to lose focus.
"This could be another big, big step for me", Conte added. "When you arrive 10th there are a lot of problems". "I want to transfer this message".
