If I spoke about other coaches, it was only to make compliments. Otherwise I stay silent but I repeat: In this situation, you must have respect and I think that I do this, but at the same time I am starting to be a bit annoyed because once, twice [it has happened]. "The people who know me very well in Italy [know my personality] ... for this reason you must pay great attention when you speak because if you want to go to fight with me I am ready. I have zero problems. I am improving a bit my English because this is the real problem for me, otherwise we can go to fight. I'm ready to fight for me, my players, the club, with everyone. I have no problem." Conte also renewed his attack on Mourinho with a barely-disguised criticism of his own, referring to "other persons" who regularly turn their weekly news conferences into a spectacle. Asked if other managers' comments annoy him, Conte replied: "I must be honest -- I don't read [any of it]. The only opportunity to know about these situations is during the news conference. I am not prepared like other persons to make a cinema, because there are other persons who prepare to have a cinema in the news conference, before the game and during the game. I am not this type of person. "At the same time, when I start to listen with regularity to this situation it is right to answer, because it is funny and I laugh a lot." When it was put to him that Mourinho's penchant for outspoken quotes might be a form of deflection, Conte replied: "I don't know. Now it is very difficult to do only cinema [in football]. Maybe in the past with the cinema it was enough. Now you have to show football knowledge and the cinema is not enough for the coach."

Spot on but i'd like to add another perspective to what you wrote. I feel that Mourinho is even more cocky and arrogant than usual when he is referring to Chelsea matters because he knows that he is our most successful manager. Despite all his wrongdoings, i am still grateful to him for what he has achieved here BUT at the same time this is another big reason why i really want Conte to stay with us for many years. If the board finally decides to back Conte up with some top signings, i am confident that he will eventually take that mantle for himself, and that will definitely shut Mourinho's mouth for good.

Oh you are definitely right, i also have lost the respect i had for him, but that doesn't mean i am not grateful for what he has won for our club. See it this way, at least the guy has given you a lot of reasons to throw parties during his time with us Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conte could ignore him but Mourinho basically insinuated that he committed a serious offence, which he didn't even do. He was banned for allegedly failing to report match fixing, rather than actually committing it. Conte/the club can take some form of legal action if they want to.

Popular Post! kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 6, 2018 Popular Post! Share Posted January 6, 2018 Our performance against arsenal was ONE of the most attacking performances against arsenal in the Abramovich era. Conte is misunderstood for a defensive manager a lot but he isn't a defensive manager, he's a manager that is tactically astute and balanced. Total defence, total attack. If our players are better on the ball than the opponent quality wise, he holds more possession, if not he controls the spaces defensively and creates opportunities to push up and be dangerous. If the opponent presses, he absorbs the pressure of the press and pushes on in the 2nd half when they can't keep up an unrealistic press up. What is truly preventing us from seeing the true potential of Conte's tactics play out is really the quality of our midfield. Matic-Pogba-Mata Fernadinho-Silva-KDB Xhaka-Wilshere-ozil Dembele-Dier-Erikson Our midfield of Kante-Fab-Bakayoko is on par with tottenham as the worst technical ability on the ball. If you include goalscoring ability from midfield, then we're rock bottom of the top six. Not good enough. Conte used to have Pirlo-Vidal-Pogba and that's the level we should be aspiring to get to.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has revealed there are three lists of transfer targets at the club, Goal.com reported. “I tell the club which is the role we can improve, the prospects of the player, the characteristics of the players we need and then the club will try to help me. There isn’t just one list, there’s two, three lists and sometimes you can’t get the first name on the list,” he said. “In this transfer window, if we sign some new players then I’ll be very happy, especially if the players are in these certain roles.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
