Napoli manager Antonio Conte has blasted Diego Costa after the former Chelsea striker launched a scathing personal attack on his character. He recently revealed that Costa tried to force a move away from Stamford Bridge three times during their title-winning campaign.
According to him, he will not waste any time responding to Costa’s insulting remarks about his private life because he is well aware that there are stupid people in this world.
Conte added that he has not followed up on anything related to the Spanish striker since he left Chelsea.
His words, “Honestly I’m not a person to lose energy reading what the people say in the paper. I know very well that around football, there are intelligent people, clever people and stupid people, so I don’t lose my time to spend my time to read intelligent people or stupid people.
Diego Costa played with me one season, so I can talk about the football. I think we won together the league and he wanted to go away three times the same season. I know this. After Chelsea, I don’t know what happened to him.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
