• Wales manager says ex-Italy player Conte understands international football• Jürgen Klopp had previously criticised selection of Liverpool’s Ben WoodburnChris Coleman has welcomed Antonio Conte’s positive comments about Ethan Ampadu’s international call-up and believes that the Chelsea manager’s stance, which contrasts sharply with the way in which Jürgen Klopp responded to the news that Ben Woodburn had first been named in the Wales squad, owes much to the fact the Italian understands what it means to play for his country.Ampadu, 17, who made his debut for Chelsea last week , has been named alongside Woodburn in the 23-man Wales squad that take on Georgia and the Republic of Ireland in the final matches of their World Cup qualifying campaign at the start of next month.
