‘Mental’ – Journalist teases over Antonio Conte’s embargoed press conference quotes

London World football journalist Rahman Osman has described Antonio Conte’s pre-Leeds United conference as ‘mental’ after he was part of the press pack which attended the event this afternoon.

There was plenty of interest in what the Italian would have to say following his emotional outburst after Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 defeat at Burnley on Wednesday evening.

Conte’s post-match comments attracted plenty of headlines after he questioned whether he is the right man for the job after seeing his side slump to a fourth defeat in five Premier League games and claimed the north Londoners were showing the form of relegation candidates (talkSPORT).

As is standard fare in Tottenham press conferences, broadcast questions are posed first and are released into the media while the newspaper section of the press conference follows and is typically under press embargo until 10:30 later that evening.

Wow. This Antonio Conte presser is mental. What a man. Embargoed by the way so quotes won’t be out till around half 10 tonight. What a man:

Many fans will certainly be looking to refresh their news feeds come later tonight but it could simply be the journalist’s understanding of the quotes and nothing more than that.

Conte cleared the air and the situation surrounding his comments at Turf Moor, it would be remarkable if he made any other further controversial comments having had the best part of two days to digest.
