Chelsea winger Willian has hinted at the relationship with manager Antonio Conte, following an interview with ESPN Brasil.
According to reports, Willian sidestepped a question about how happy he is with Antonio Conte, telling the reporter that he would perhaps talk about it “some other” time.
The Brazilian was questioned on whether he “still likes Conte more than other players”, to which he responded “Oh boy, do you really want me to tell you [the truth]?”
It has now been speculated that Willian and Conte’s relationship has deteriorated after he stormed down the tunnel during the FA Cup semi final meeting with Southampton.
The winger reacted to being substituted with heated words in Conte’s direction.
These reports are latest in the narrative of Conte having a “strained relationship” with a few key players, including Eden Hazard.
Conte looks set to leave the Blues after a disappointing season, which saw his side fail to qualify for net season’s Champions League. Conte will likely depart just a year after winning the Premier League title in his first season in English football.
It has also been speculated that the FA Cup final meeting with Manchester United may be his last game in charge of the Blues.
