Conte: Hopefully the game against Leicester City will be postponed because we want to play against Rennes

Live bar December 15 news In the 17th round of the Premier League in the early morning of Beijing time, Spurs will travel to the away game to challenge Leicester City. Last week, the outbreak of covid-19 within Tottenham hotspur gave them only one game to postpone. In a press conference ahead of the match, Tottenham boss Conte talked about the team's preparations, while also answering some questions of great concern to fans and the media.

About what happened to the team last week

We had a very bad week last week because of the government's decision, even though their decision was the right one. They shut down our training base, terminated our training sessions and I had a hard time talking about football at the press conference. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we didn't have any training sessions. Last Sunday, we didn't have many players on the training ground because we had problems with our U23 as well.

Last Sunday we had thirteen or four players in training, and today we had 16 players in training, but there are more young players.

On whether to want the match against Leicester City to be postponed

The Premier League side don't want the game against Leicester City to be postponed, maybe it's because of the previous postponement of the game, we also need to play against Burnley and Brighton.

We understand that Tottenham Hotspur are committed to postponing the match against Leicester City so that the team can play against Rennes in midweek. Tottenham have done everything they can to compete in Europe. Rogers also said at a press conference that he wanted the match to be postponed because they had 9 players who could not play.

About the players under your command

The condition of our players has not improved much, some players have gone to training and others are waiting. Those players who participate in training need time to recover in good physical condition. Contracting COVID-19 will not allow you to recover within 10 days, and your body will not be so strong after recovering from COVID-19 due to the virus. For such reasons, your players will be easily injured.

About the European Cup match against Rennes

We want to play in this game, Spurs deserve to play in this game, and it's the final round of the group stage. I think it's strange that the government decided to close our training base and we couldn't train. It is precisely because of this that we were unable to participate in this game and not for other reasons. We made no mistakes. We deserve to play in this race and try to reach the next round.

About the match against Leicester City

We have players who test positive for COVID-19, that's for sure, and some players certainly won't be able to play tomorrow. As I said before, although the players have resumed training, some players are only returning to training for the first time, and we have two players who are like that. Yesterday we had one of our players back to training for the first time, but you know very well that to play, they first have to stay fit.

Tomorrow I'll have these players on the bench to handle the last 15 to 20 minutes of the game, and their physical fitness will only be able to cope with the 20 minutes to 25 minutes of the game. This is the biggest problem we need to deal with in the future.
