LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte laughed off a suggestion that he has been more subdued on the touchline in recent matches, saying he has been trying to stay calmer in order to teach his players to take more responsibility.

Conte, along with Liverpool's Juergen Klopp, is one of the more energetic managers in the league, and regularly spends long periods in games raging in his technical area.
