Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte has come to express his disappointment with the English Premier League, the Italian said Thursday’s meeting between managers and the Premier League to discuss issues around the Covid-19 pandemic was like talking to a brick wall.
Antonio Conte Says EPL Meeting is a Waste of Time
Early this week the league chose to continue playing through the Christmas period. Three games on 26 December have now been postponed, taking the total to 13, while players and club staff returned a record 90 positive tests last week.
Antonio Conte was asked if the meeting was a waste of time, Conte said: “I think so.” The Italian also said: “Yesterday it was [like talking to] a wall and for this reason, I also prefer to not go into it.” The Premier League has declined to comment on the statement but it was gathered that Spurs manager Antonio Conte did not contribute to any discussions during the meeting
At the meeting, clubs were advised that if they have 13 fit players, plus a goalkeeper, they should fulfill their games. This may have been the reason why the former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager said the meeting is a waste of time.
