Dejan Kulusevski was able to train hard, but many of his teammates were exhausted after the WC.
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is unhappy.
– Their physical condition is not in the best condition, Conte tells the BBC.
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte believes that the players have not had a rest after the World Cup in Qatar.
– I’m not very happy, he told the BBC before Tottenham’s away game against Brentford in the Boxing Day classic.
– On the one hand, you are glad that your club has twelve players in the WC, because it means that we are on the right track in trying to compete and win something.
Conte, on the other hand, resents players being tired during an intense World Cup tournament.
– When you have a lot of players playing in such a tournament in the middle of the season, their physical condition is not at its best, he says.
“I worked hard”
Antonio Conte says players who played in the World Cup final, Hugo Lloris and Christian Romero, will not be with Boxing Day. The same goes for Richarlison, who was injured during the restroom.
Instead, Conte expects players who focused on training during the World Cup to perform.
– I have to make the best possible decision before the game against Brentford. “I have players I’ve worked hard with in the last four weeks and players who have played in the World Cup and who are not at their best at the moment,” Conte told the BBC.
Swedish star Dejan Kulusevski was injured during the fall but was able to return shortly before the World Cup. He has scored one goal and provided five assists in nine Premier League games this season.
