Conte fumes at Napoli tantrums after De Bruyne swap

Napoli head coach Antonio Conte rejected protests from players removed during matches after Belgian forward Kevin De Bruyne disputed his substitution in a 2-1 loss to Milan. Journalist Massimo Ogolini reported that Conte addressed the team in the locker room and stated he would not accept such conduct from anyone. The Italian manager told squad members that this behavior crosses a line he refuses to tolerate. Conte directed his message particularly toward new additions to the squad and made clear that no player receives exemption from his standards.
