Conte praised the "personality" of his side's performance as Chelsea became
the first English side to win at Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea claimed a last-gasp 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night to
top Champions League Group C with two wins from two games.
Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi proved there is life after Diego Costa as
Chelsea fought back to win in Atletico's first European game at their new
Estadio Wanda Metropolitano home.
Costa, whose return to Atletico was completed on Tuesday, watched on as
Chelsea responded from David Luiz's concession of a penalty scored by
Antoine Griezmann.
Morata headed in Eden Hazard's cross for his seventh goal in eight games for
Chelsea, before Batshuayi struck with the final kick of the game.
Conte said: "You can win, but if you win only to defend, to go and counter
attack there isn't the right satisfaction.
"Instead to come here and to show we are ready to play... it's very
important.
"We must play always with the same personality, the same desire to play
football and to try through the play to deserve to win.
"The answer tonight was very positive."
Atletico boss Diego Simeone conceded his side were second best.
Simeone said: "Chelsea were the better team. The draw was a good result for
us, but at the very end they had the patience to move the ball round very
well and scored at the last second.
"We couldn't really play our game because our rival was better. They had
better intensity, they were better at a tactical level.
"We were never comfortable. It was a fair victory for Chelsea because they
just played better."
