Tottenham’s Italian coach Antonio Conte has blasted the FIFA for putting players’ health at risk by scheduling too many games leading up to the World Cup when his squad is dealing with an increasing number of ailments.
Sun Hyung-Men of South Korea, Richaarleson of Brazil, and Christian Romero of Argentina will not be playing for Tottenham against Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
To be eligible to compete in the World Cup, which begins on November 20 in Qatar, the trio must act quickly.
Rodrigo Bentancourt of Uruguay and Lucas Mora of Brazil are both questionable in terms of their physical condition, but Swedish midfielder Diane Colosvsky, who last played for Tottenham in mid-September, is expected to make a comeback this weekend.
Conte targeted the English Premier League and the European Federation of the game (Wiva) for the “difficult state” they created with the congested table after constantly criticising FIFA’s decision to hold the mid-season World Cup.
He also questioned why the English League Cup’s fourth round will take place a few days after the World Cup final, which will take place on December 18.
He said in this regard: I often hear about the welfare of the players, but it is just a polite way to show that they are really interested in the luxury of the players, because they are not really worried about it if the table is this way.
The continuation of the championships seems to be the most essential thing right now, and I would like it if people stopped talking about the players’ welfare in the future because it is untrue.
And Abizaid: We knew that it was crazy to hold the World Cup during the league period and the Champions League. Such a bizarre table.
Conte erupts in anger at the football authorities for not caring about the players’ health.
