The German and Italian coaches collided twice and had to be separated after their embarrassing showdown in the London derby
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and Tottenham manager Antonio Conte had an embarrassing confrontation on Sunday during and after the Chelsea-Tottenham game. The German and Italian coaches nearly collided and had to split twice, after Tottenham’s first goal to equalize in the second half and at the end of the game (2-2). Both were sent off with a direct red card for their unfortunate behavior in the London derby on the Chelsea grounds.
Conte went to the Chelsea area as Holbjerg scored the 1-1 to celebrate the goal lavishly and there he faced Tuchel, who didn’t flinch and reacted to the Italian coach, for whom several assistants had to mediate. With Reece making it 2-1, James Tuchel answered Conte’s provocation and ran down the flank through Tottenham’s technical area.
At the end of the match the two technicians crossed paths again and when Conte Tuchel started to shake hands, the German turned him down. The Italian grabbed him with very bad manners and the German wouldn’t let go of his hand. Basically, two people had to mediate between the two so they wouldn’t clash again and even César Azpilicueta, Chelsea captain who was an apprentice to Conte in the ‘blue’ team, came to blame his attitude towards the transalpine.
The referee settles the dispute with red trails in a moment of enormous tension at Stamford Bridge. The encounter, marked by controversy, ended in a 2-2 draw thanks to Harry Kane’s last goal.
