Antonio Conte has replied to Jose talking about managers behaving like clowns on the touchline. “I think that he has to see himself in the past, maybe he was speaking about himself in the past, yeah? Maybe sometimes, I think that someone forget what they said in the past or his behaviour and sometimes I think there is, I don’t know the name, ‘demenza senile’ when you are a bit (taps his temple) when you forget what you do in the past.” Interesting diagnosis
The only story here (along with Wenger) is these managers flagrantly using issues that have a serious impact in society. Dementia and suicide are not jokes and the manager should use their brains a bit more before speaking.
"Look I don't blame him," Mourinho said after Conte's comments were mentioned. "Honestly I don't blame him, I think the press should apologise to me and to him because the question that comes to him is completely wrong and because of that he had that out of control reaction. "But I don't blame him at all, I was asked about my passion and you know because most of you were in my press conference and I was speaking about myself and then the question to the Chelsea manager was like I told that he behaves like a clown, probably the journalist wants to say that but didn't have the courage to say that. "So Mourinho told you behave like a clown, so I don't blame the Chelsea manager at all and I understand his reaction. I was speaking about myself, saying I don't need to behave as a clown to show passion, that I control my emotions in a better way, everybody knows I don't need the Chelsea manager to say that I made mistakes in the past, and I will make in the future. "I know that I celebrated goals running 50 metres, that I celebrated goals sliding on my knees, I got celebrations jumping to the crowd, I'm not free of that especially if we score a winning goal in a specific moment, I'm not free to have an out of control reaction but what I was trying to say was I behaved bad a few times and in this moment I control myself much better, doesn't mean that my passion is not the same. "So wrong question and obviously a strong answer but I don't blame, the only thing I want to say to end the story is yes I made mistakes in the past on the touchline, yes I will make less but I think I will still make a few."
