Conte: Nobody wants the Premier League to shut down, and nobody wants to close the stadium to the fans

According to football.london, Spurs coach Conte was asked before the match against Leicester City whether he was worried that the Premier League would be shut down again, and he said that no one wanted the Premier League to be shut down, and no one wanted to close the stadium to fans.

Conte said in the interview: "Honestly, that's a difficult question to answer. It is important for us to take this very seriously and try to avoid other players and staff from contracting COVID-19. I don't think anybody wants a pullout in the Premier League, no one among us wants to close the pitch to our fans. We fight for them and want to protect them in the best possible way. Of course, maybe if we can bring more attention, then it's good for everyone. ”

With nine of Tottenham's first-team players testing positive for COVID-19, as well as five other coaching staff and some U23 youth players were also infected with COVID-19, Tottenham's European Cup event against Rennes and premier league matches against Brighton were cancelled. Separately, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, who also have COVID-19-positive cases in the team, have asked to postpone the game on Thursday night, but the Premier League has rejected the request.

At 3:30 Beijing time on December 17, the 17th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur will challenge Leicester City away.
