Antonio Conte proved during Chelsea’s Premier League opener against West Ham that he has not calmed down at all since Euro 2016. If anything, he might have increased the amount of crystal meth in his Red Bull espresso.
Chelsea could have had two players sent off — Diego Costa and N’Golo Kante — but they both stayed on the pitch, probably because the referee was too terrified of being the target of Costa AND Conte’s combined rage, and Costa even scored an 89th minute winner.
When Costa put Chelsea ahead, Conte went into celebration overdrive.

Here are some photos:
“WHY CAN’T CHEESE TASTE LIKE ROBOTS?!”
“GODZILLA!”
“I AM PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF CLOSING MY MOUTH!”
“LET’S COMBINE OUR BODY HEAT TO GIVE SOME PUPPIES A SUNTAN!”
“I AM GOING TO EAT EVERY TOWEL IN THE DRESSING ROOM!”
“I THINK BELT BUCKLES ARE MAGICAL!”
The Italian guy at the Crew match was about half as excited as Conte every time Pirlo touched the ball. He was trying to cheer with a Crew fan when Pirlo made the Crew defense look like their feet were stuck in mud. Crazy, fun Italians! 😀
In some of these he looks like tanned Tom Cruise, circa his crazy period. All he’s missing is a couch and a frightened Oprah.
Conte vs Klopp…most enthusiastic manager?
Who gives the tightest hugs?
