Mourinho, Conte feud escalates

LONDON. – Antonio Conte had spent his afternoon supervising an unsatisfactory goalless draw with Norwich City, but the frustration of watching Chelsea’s squad players labour was nothing compared with the other feelings dammed up inside. An hour after the final whistle, he let it all out in the Carrow Road Press room and, by the time he had finished, nobody among the cluster of agog onlookers could doubt the force of his animosity towards José Mourinho. When he finally took his leave after labelling Mourinho a “little man” and a “fake”, the question hanging in the air was how much further such an extraordinary set-to can possibly run from here, a long-simmering feud having exploded with barely precedented venom from relatively innocuous beginnings. – The Guardian.
