The Italian is refusing to bite on The Special One's comments calling his team "defensive"
Perched at the top, the Chelsea boss looked down on Mourinho’s fifth-placed Manchester United ahead of tomorrow’s Old Trafford clash with a smirk and a twinkle in those blue eyes.

And his response to the once Special One’s sniping about Chelsea being a counter-attacking team made it clear nothing will detract his men from their quest to win the Premier League.

Mourinho had taunted: “They have a certain style of play, they stick to it, they do it very well.
“Not every team defends with 11 players — and they defend with 11 players.”
But Conte was clear that all his talking is done on the pitch.
He said: “Many coaches try to manipulate ideas and try to put your thoughts in the way they want.
“But it’s not important for me. It’s important to continue to work and have our idea of football.”

Conte’s instant success at Chelsea is not just embarrassing for Mourinho. It is humiliating.
Just 16 months ago, the Portuguese was sacked with Chelsea in 16th spot — a point above the drop zone — having lost nine of their first 16 league matches last season.
They eventually finished tenth without Mourinho.
Enter Conte last summer, who transformed virtually the same Chelsea — plus N’Golo Kante — back into a title-winning machine.
Meanwhile, the former Chelsea chief failed to mount a title challenge at United, despite an astronomical £150million summer outlay.
