The Chelsea manager said he has been disappointed with Alvaro Morata’s finishing of late
Antonio Conte was furious to see his main striker needlessly sent off against Norwich in the
FA Cup on Wednesday after Morata reacted poorly to being booked for diving.
The Italian blasted Morata after the game, despite Chelsea edging the shoot-out. He said again on Friday that the striker needed to sort out his ‘stupid’ discipline issues.
Ahead of Chelsea's game against Brighton on Saturday, the manager said:
‘For sure in the Norwich game he knew very well his mistake. There was frustration for
the first yellow card because he didn’t deserve it. It was not right to book him.
‘You must learn to control yourself because the second yellow card was for dissent. I agree
with the player for the first yellow card but can’t with the second. For the striker in this
situation it can happen. Alvaro this is the first season that’s he’s having a full season,
maybe for him this is the first time to face these type of problems.
‘He has to overcome this problem because it is a stupid problem. The most important thing
is to work for the team and not lose confidence.’
