Chelsea boss Conte has pop at Mourinho: We'd never play for draw

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has taken aim at the tactics of Manchester United rival Jose Mourinho.

United, who visit Stamford Bridge on Sunday, had only one shot on target at Liverpool, as the Mourinho's renowned skill at shutting down opponents was once again displayed.

“I have never sent a team out to play for a draw," said Conte. “It's right always to play for a win, to start a game trying to win. I always try and transfer these thoughts to my players.

“If you play at home or away, it must be the same. You must start the game with only one target: to win. Not to play for a draw. I don't like this. It's not football."
