WATCH: Antonio Conte loses his sh*t laughing at Diego Costa

It appears as if Conte doesn't have much time for the striker's claims...

Ah, Diego Costa. A never-ending source of amusement.

The ongoing saga in which he has embroiled himself with Antonio Conte now looks likely to roll on until the striker finally gets his way and forces a move. The duo have fallen in and out of love as rapidly as a gap-year student on a two-week bag-and-shag in Marbella and, a bit like gonorrhea, this conflict isn’t going to clear up easily.

Recently, the Brazilian striker made the poormouth complaint that he was ‘being treated like a criminal’, but when his manager was asked whether he thought this was the case, the reaction was priceless.

It’s hard not to side with Conte when you see that.
