Willian: Costa and Conte relationship is fine… he'd fight his mother on the pitch!

The Brazilian assured that his team-mate and manager were not at loggerheads after a well-publicised spat back in January

Chelsea star Willian has insisted there is no bad blood between Diego Costa and Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge, while admitting his team-mate took competitiveness to an extreme.

The peace in west London was shaken over January by reports of a training ground bust-up between the Spain international and his manager, amid rumours of an astronomic offer to play in China.

But Willian affirms that, while neither of the pair are angels, they enjoy a healthy professional relationship at the Premier League leaders.
