Begovic: Conte and Mourinho made me laugh

I was during the quarter final of the FA Cup between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, a match which Chelsea backup goalkeeper Asmir Begovic was expecting to start but was disappointed when Chelsea manager Antonio Conte decided to leave him on the bench.

Begovic didn't feel bored staying on the bench afterall, as he found himself in an amazing position to watch the drama that unfolded later in the match between Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte and his Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho.

Begovic said: "It was a huge occasion, a huge game at the Bridge. As disappointed as I was at not playing in the game, what I did have was first row seats to what was some amusing sideline antics," Begovic said on his new podcast SeasonofSports. 
"The two managers going at it, yelling at each other, it was a very intense match.
"It was really unnecessary, but it was so funny, because I was trying so hard not to laugh. Every time the camera was on them, we were thinking 'keep a straight face, keep a straight face, don't laugh at these guys'.
"It wasn't unprofessional, but I thought it was a little bit too much. They were really into it, it was a big deal and I don't think they like each other very much."
