This was also a season in which Antonio Conte, the coach of Inter of the ascent, was not spared with arbitrators and clubs. Just ten minutes from the start of the match against Atalanta, the Salento coach was awarded a yellow card, a consequence of a discussion with referee Mariani impossible not to underline and observe in the silence of the empty stadium.
The Conte-Mariani dialogue
In the reconstruction, also reported by Journal, the dialogue Conte-Mariani it is articulated in a crescendo, a sort of script whose ending is almost predictable.
“Mister please me, come for a moment, just one word”, began the race director. “What did I say? Of the push I said, did I insult you? ”, He replied angrily and a little daring Conte.
“We are calm, we are at 10 ‘- explained Mariani -. I understand your moment, you understand mine ”. Understanding did not take over and the question was resolved with a card: “It’s not a foul, okay? That’s no good? Then maybe it’s not good: yellow “.
Is the question resolved? The coach does not hesitate and shows his intolerance and his known and proverbial hostility towards such a admonition:
“Be the protagonists, do. With all the good that I want you, with all the good that I want you, with all the good that I want you… Come to show that you come and reproach me, this is what you do ”.
The background: from the attack on journalists in Agnelli
A new episode that focuses on Conte and his style. After the phrases relating to the need to be respected, as a society, the attacks and nasty phrases that have been uttered towards journalists in the studio after leaving Europe and the long-distance confrontation with Agnelli, here is that the coach finds himself like this, still at the center of the news. And not just for the result.
