Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has criticised the post-World Cup fixture list in England, with League Cup ties set to be held a few days after the final in Qatar next month.
The World Cup, which begins on Nov. 20, will conclude on Dec. 18, while the fourth round of the League Cup is scheduled to take place that week with the top-flight Premier League resuming on Dec. 26.
This type of schedule is crazy," Conte told reporters.
"Honestly, it's really strange in England that we start to play three days after the final of the World Cup.
"In every moment you show that the most important thing is the show must go on and then please, I don't want to hear in the future about people speaking about the welfare of the players because this isn't true."
