Chelsea coach Conte accepts FA charge
London, Dec 2 (IANS) Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte accepted the charge imposed on him by the England Football Association following his dismissal against Swansea in the English Premier League (EPL) tie.
The Italian was sent back to the stands after protesting against the referee in the EPL tie on Wednesday. Chelsea eventually went on to win the match 1-0.
“I think it’s right to accept and to pay the fine. I want to respect this decision and also to pay this fine,” the 48-year-old was quoted saying by the Independent on Friday.
“I hope also the referee will learn something about this, because Swansea were wasting time. In this situation the referee has to protect the team that wants to play football, to try to win the game.
“I hope in the future that I tell my players to go on the pitch and tell this to the referee. I’ll try to avoid suggesting this to the fourth official. I’ll change because I’ll go to my players to get them to tell this to the referee,” Conte added.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
