The Chelsea coach insisted he would not respond to comments from other managers about his team after the Manchester United boss' subtle dig
The Manchester United manager claimed after his side's victory over Watford that the Blues would not let their position at the top of the Premier League slip because of their conservative style of play and focus on counterattacking and set pieces.
"I don't like to respond to other managers," the Italian told reporters. "I don't like this jokey play. I have a bit of experience about this."
Conte did admit, however, that Chelsea had struggled to break down a Burnley team that has taken fewer points at home than only Tottenham the Blues themselves so far this season.
"The pitch is small and it is better for the team that defends and plays the long ball," Conte explained. "You have less pitch to cover, there is a good atmosphere and I think it is right to have this type of atmosphere.
"For all of these reasons they have taken these points."
"We must continue to work in this way, to try to find a way to win in the same way that we tried today. I am happy for the commitment, the will to try to fight to win. For sure I am pleased with the commitment of my players
