Mourinho asks Conte to apologize for row
Manchester, Jan 15 (IANS) Manchester United chief coach Jose Mourinho has asked his Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte to apologize for calling him a “fake” and a “small man”.
Portuguese football tactician Mourinho on Sunday said he did not start the altercation with Italian Conte.
Conte, 48, had called Mourinho “senile” responding to a question whether Mourninho referred to him as a clown for his passionate activity at the touchline.
Mourinho hit back by referencing Conte’s implication in a match fixing scandal which didn’t find Conte guilty. Then Conte dubbed Mourinho as “fake” and a “small man”.
“When I start I take the responsibilities of that, and I’ve started many times. When I don’t start it’s quite funny for me to see other people on the other side acting like victims when they’re not the victims. But, really, I don’t enjoy. That’s why, for me, it’s over,” 54-year-old Mourinho was quoted as saying by ESPNFC.
“Sometimes it’s my fault. Sometimes it’s other managers’ fault. In my case, when I think it’s my fault and I should behave in a different way I’m the first one to apologize, like I did with Ranieri when I had the chance.
“That’s when our relations went from bad to good and from good to very good, because I was man enough to apologize,” the Portuguese 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.
