Conte requires a single from Mourinho
Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has asked coach Jose Mourinho to "respect each other" when Man Utd marched to Stamford Bridge this weekend.
Conte and Mourinho had a heated argument outside the pitch when Chelsea hosted Manchester United in October last year. At the time, Mourinho contended that he deliberately "humiliated" him and the Red Devils when celebrating Chelsea's fourth goal as crazy.
Most recently, Mourinho hinted that Conte should "stop crying" about the injury of the players. The Italian responded by asking Mourinho to "shut up" and concentrate on his work.
Regardless of the incident, Conte believes his relationship with Mourinho is very professional and they will respect each other. However, he refused to answer the question whether the two men shook hands or not.
The Italian coach replied at the pre-match press conference: "The relationship between the coaches is not important. We have the respect for the work of every coach. I do not want to talk about other situations. "
"He is my opponent and I am his rival. After the match, everything is the same. I respect his work and he should also give me respect. After that, nothing happened. "
Conte is currently under a lot of pressure because of Chelsea's poor results. On the bench with United, the Blues lost 0-3 to Roma in the Champions League.
