Master and disciple fall out? Conte, Lautaro had verbal altercation during match

  /  rzr0101

In a key Serie A match that ended yesterday, Napoli, led by former Inter Milan coach Conte, defeated Inter Milan 3-1. In the 61st minute of the game, Conte and his former disciple Lautaro had a verbal conflict.

Replays show that Conte first engaged in a verbal altercation with Dumfries. Lautaro then charged forward, confronting Conte and the Napoli coaching staff.

After separating the two, Lautaro smiled and gestured to Conte, urging him to shut up and pointing to his genitals: "You must be frightened."

Conte, however, remained undeterred: "Shut up and score a goal, you bastard."

At the post-match press conference, Conte seemed somewhat hurt. He said, "It's normal to argue during a heated match. Lautaro is an excellent player, but two years is too short a period to fully understand a player."

In fact, Conte and Lautaro clashed during their time together at Inter Milan. In May 2021, during Inter Milan's home game against Roma, Lautaro, upset with Conte for substituting him, argued with Conte on the sidelines.

However, the two later resolved the issue in a "manly way." During a training session following that game, the team set up a makeshift boxing ring on the training ground, and Conte and Lautaro engaged in a boxing match, with the ever-promising Lukaku serving as both host and referee.

Last time, the two smiled and shook hands, but what about this time?
