Italian manager, Antonio Conte has come out to aim a jibe at his former club, Tottenham. He recently revealed that he found it really strange while celebrating a fourth-place finish, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, celebrating qualifying for the UCL feels weird for him because he is used to fighting for titles and winning laurels.
Conte added that even if the Spurs team did the maximum by moving from 9th to 4th, he never felt the need to celebrate.
His words, “For me, to celebrate fourth place and a place in the Champions League was really strange. At the end of the final game against Norwich, I called my staff and said ‘pay attention, don’t be used to celebrating a Champions League place’. I was very clear. I said we did the maximum. From ninth to fourth place, with all the problems we faced, was a miracle. But we didn’t celebrate like it was a miracle because I am used to winning.
It was an important period with the Champions League, the FA Cup and with the league. I preferred to come back quickly, but then I understood it was really soon. It was Daniel Levy who pushed me to go home and recover again. After the AC Milan game, when we lost 1-0 in the San Siro, he told me to stay in Italy to recover well because he didn’t like the way I looked and Tottenham’s doctors didn’t want me to take the risk. The club supported me really well.”
WOW.
