Conte Penalty Inter Sparks Chaos at San Siro
Chaos erupts at San Siro. The penalty awarded to Inter turns the game on its head and sends Antonio Conte over the edge.
“Shame on you, you should be ashamed of yourselves.”
The furious Antonio. At San Siro, Doveri awards a penalty to Inter twenty minutes from the end: Calhanoglu scores, the game changes. And Conte is not happy. He rages, explodes, kicks a bottle, and goes face to face with fourth official Colombo. Doveri sends him off, and he walks away shouting “shame” on the refs. Plus he doesn’t show up to speak on TV.
Red Card for Conte After VAR Review
“He usually does that when he gets a red card: let’s hope it doesn’t happen again…”, says Cristian Stellini, assistant to the Napoli coach, who also fills in for him in interviews after the exciting 2-2 draw with Inter at San Siro, to praise “the team’s great show of character and play”.
“Conte’s outburst? It was because of the deficit,” said Stellini. “We’re not discussing the incident. It’s been a complicated week, and we should rewind the tape, but we don’t want to do that.” “The coach has decided not to come and speak after being sent off on other occasions,” added Stellini. “Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again, because that would mean he wasn’t sent off.

Napoli Show Character After Conte Dismissal
After he was sent off, Antonio stayed on the balustrade to give instructions. He carried on supporting the team, waving his arms and making himself heard. Then, with just nine minutes left on the clock, he celebrated again after McTominay’s strike made it 2-2.
Speaking post-match, Juan Jesus underlines the team’s mentality. “It was important not to lose,” he says. “Conte has his personality. He’s a winner. He motivated us, and we reacted on a difficult pitch.”
We’ve got a long championship ahead of us, and we’ve got the Scudetto. Conte was livid after the penalty, wasn’t he? The coach has his own personality, he’s a winner and he’ll have had his reasons. He motivated us well today, we had a great reaction on a difficult pitch, and that’s fine.”
A controversial penalty. A furious red card. And a Napoli side that leave San Siro with a point and plenty to talk about.
