and Conte were both red carded at full-time
Tuchel and Conte were both red carded at full-time and then
exchanged words
webapex.net as they shook hands, with the Blues boss taking exception to
Conte’s refusal to look him in the eyes.
Tension had built between the pair during the second-half as
they celebrate
westernmagazine.org d their team’s goals and they were subsequently charged with
‘improper’ behaviour.
Speaking on BT Sport ahead of Spurs’ Saturday lunchtime
clash with Wolves, former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Hoddle was shocked at the
different
ysin.org punishments but sympathised with the emotions both bosses felt.
He said: ‘It takes two to tango. I’m surprised they’ve only
banned Tuchel. I think they saw him as the aggressor but I think it should have
been both (banned).
‘Tuchel goes right across Conte. I think Tuchel has reacted
and then we see what we see.
‘When you’re sitting in this dugout as manager the emotions
take over. I used to watch from upstairs. You think differently when you’re
down here.
‘I fell out with Tony Pulis. There were punches flying in
the tunnel! We sat there and thought what are we doing? You are playing a
character at times.
‘I used to tell players you have to be an actor. If you’re a
quiet character you have to act. This is what football does to people.’
Joleon Lescott, who was also part of the BT pundits ahead of
kick-off, shared Hoddle’s surprise.
He said: ‘I am (surprised) to be fair. We never want to see
managers suspended but if they’re suspending one it should be both.
‘I think it depends on the manager (in terms of how they
act). In terms of the emotional side when you see a teammate get a bad tackle
you want to go and get involved.’
Joe Cole, however, admitted he was a fan of the actions of
the coaches on Saturday and believes Conte’s personality is seen on the pitch
in Spurs’ performances.
The former Chelsea star said: ‘I like to see that aggression
from managers, it was a massive point for Tottenham last week. It was great.
‘The Chelsea Spurs derby has grown. You’ve got two managers
who are fireworks. I like to see it. I have no problem with this. No one got
hurt.’
