Chelsea striker, Diego Costa, has insisted that his training ground row with coach Antonio Conte, was “nothing” and claims the media blew it out of proportion.
Costa was dropped for the Blues’ trip to Leicester City in January, after a heated argument with a fitness coach and Conte over a back injury.
It is believed the incident happened, aftera big offer came from Chinese Super League club, Tianjin Quanjin. “It was nothing,” Costa told ESPN Brasil when asked about the row after he scored in Monday’s 2-1 win at West Ham.
“People here [in England] make up a lot of stuff. Things happen, but I’m showing now that there’s nothing to it.
“I’m playing and scoring goals, and that’s the important thing. Everyone knows that anything I say has bigger repercussions than what it was.
“The manager is someone who works us really hard in training. He’s got his personality just like I’ve got mine and others have theirs, but the important thing is to show your personality in a way that benefits the team.
“This is what’s happening. Everyone is on the same page and that’s the way we have to go.”
