Conte

Day -402 WorldCup2018

Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, got lots of praise today for going over to the applaud the visiting Middlesbrough fans today after Chelsea's 3-0 win condemned their team to relegation. And he shook the hand of every Middlesbrough player. Good man, good man. Pretty easy to do though when your team has just won so comprehensively and have pretty much secured the Premier League title.

I kid, though. Conte has proved to be quite the honest, passionate, sportingly competitive gentleman in his time in England. There's been no Mourinho style name calling or fights with journalists who do their job. I liked him when a couple of weeks ago he celebrated with his players on the pitch after their win at Everton. Not only was he genuinely happy but it was easy to see that he enjoyed being out on the pitch with his players, dancing and cheering in front of the fans. An honest football bloke, is what one of the old time newspaper reporters would have called him.
