Brazil international and Chelsea defender David Luiz was severely reprimanded by Italian tactician Antonio Conte during the Blues team meeting, according to reports.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the former Juventus manager launched an ‘angry inquest’ after his team’s 3-0 loss to Italian Serie A giant AS Roma in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
The publication claims that the former Paris Saint Germain Centre-half was targeted because of his reaction to Antonio Conte when he was pulled out after just 57 minutes in the 3-3 draw with AS Roma at Stamford Bridge a month ago.
Reports emanating from Italy suggested that the defender even swore in Antonio Conte’s direction as he left the field.
During the team meeting, the former Italy National team manager warned his players that he is set to drop them from the squad if they fail to follow his technical instructions.
It’s believed that senior players of the Premier League Champions accepted Antonio Conte’s harsh words and well understand why the tactician is angry with their recent performances.
Following their loss to the Italian Capital club, the reigning English Premier League champions are now getting set to face rivals Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, reuniting with their former manager Jose Mourinho and former midfielder Nemanja Matic.
