The coach of Tottenham Hotspur, Anthony Contecriticized the list of parties after the World Cup in Englandwith League Cup matches scheduled to take place a few days after the final in Qatar next month.

The World Cup, which starts on November 20, ends on December 18, while the fourth round of the League Cup is scheduled for that week and the Premier League resumes on December 26.

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s league match against Liverpool, Conte said he was concerned about the health of the players. “We know about this situation, we know it’s crazy to put a World Cup in the league season and the Champions League. This kind of schedule is crazy,” Conte told reporters.

“Honestly, it’s very strange in England that we start playing three days after the World Cup final. We are the only country that does. Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and others take time to rest and breathe. a little”. “It seems crazy to me that on December 21, after three days of the final, we will play a game in the Carabao Cup. After three days you have to play in the Premier League.”

Worried more about the show than the players

Conte said soccer’s governing bodies had created an “impossible” situation with domestic leagues and UEFA trying to pack games ahead of the World Cup. “I have heard many times about the welfare of the players, but this is a polite way of wanting to show that they are interested in their health, but they are not too concerned about the welfare of the players if the calendar is like this,” he said.

“Every time they show that the most important thing is to continue the show and then please, I don’t want to hear in the future that people talk about the welfare of the players, because it’s not true. “
