Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has revealed that he went to Buckingham Palace last Friday to mourn the Queen “like a normal person.
“With football postponed last weekend, Conte wore a hat to keep a low profile and traveled across London with his brother Daniele to pay their respects.
“On Friday, I went to Buckingham Palace like a normal person, because I am a normal person!” he explained.
I did it with a hat to experience this situation because I believe we will remember it for the rest of our lives. “I want to give condolences from me, from the club, from the players to the royal family. Then football has to go ahead and we will do it, but I think the Premier League made an important decision to stop football and show respect for the death of the Queen.”Spurs will wear black armbands and observe a minute’s silence before their Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday night. “For sure, what happened in England in the last few days is something extraordinary,” Conte added.
