Antonio Conte is not one of those coaches who bites his tongue. If he doesn’t like something, he doesn’t mince words and that’s what he did about the calendar, showing his anger at the Premier League for playing early on Boxing Day.
The Tottenham facing the Brentford and the Italian coach has made it clear that the players who did not go to the World Cup will play for that match, that is, Perisic, Son, Kane and Dier will be substitutes, while Lloris and Romero returned recently when they reached the final.
“It’s a strange situation and, to be honest, playing so fast, just a week after the World Cup, doesn’t make me happy.” argued Conte, who saw it as normal “when you have so many players in a tournament like this, especially during the season, because it is not easy because the physical condition is not the best.”
“It is impossible to give them much rest and I am sure that the players who did not play in the World Cup and we worked for four weeks are in good physical condition. We worked a lot in the tactical and technical aspects. Today is better them than the players who went to the World Cup,” he tried to see the bright side Count.
One that cannot be reused is Lucas Moura, who continues to have problems with his tendon. “It’s a difficult situation. I have a good player but he’s not available. It’s like I don’t have him. It’s a shame. He’s a good person, he’s fighting to overcome the problem,” insisted Conte, who did not I know what will happen in the future.
This situation may force the Tottenham who went to the transfer market to look for reinforcements, as Moura has only started twice this season, but Conte has not been read. “What do I want the club to do? I don’t think it’s correct to say that. I can give advice on how to improve the team and the quality of the squad, especially since after five months the situation has changed. If there is an opportunity to strengthen the squad, we will do something. We will try to follow our policy and improve the team. Otherwise, we will continue with these players and I am happy with them.”
