Antonio Conte has criticized the Premier League’s match scheduling.
The Tottenham manager is concerned about how athletes will adjust to playing again right away after the World Cup.
Conte stated that having extra time to work with his players who had just returned from the tournament would have been ideal.
Before the World Cup break, Spurs lost three of their previous five league games.
On Boxing Day, they will play Brentford. Conte feels that the games were scheduled too soon.
Before the game, the former Chelsea manager told the press, “It is a strange situation and honestly, to play so rapidly – only one week after the World Cup – I am not very happy.”
Tottenham is eight points behind league-leading Arsenal in fourth place in the Premier League standings.
