Diego Costa has continued his long-standing feud
with Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, by reiterating his anger at the
text message the Italian sent him, asking him to leave the club.
Costa was informed by Conte he was no longer part of his plans at Stamford Bridge via SMS earlier this summer.
And now the Spain striker has said the former Juventus boss sent the message in “a moment of madness”.
He told MC News: “Conte’s text? It was a moment of madness. It can happen, but I thought it was disrespectful.
“I
always asked to speak face to face with the Coach and the board. I
never sent [them] text messages, so it shows what kind of person he is.
“If
something makes me sad about this situation, it’s [the fans’] affection
as they’d always supported me, even during the delicate moments.
“If
I’d been in the team for three years, it was for them and the dressing
room, which was very much united. It was a great experience.”
