Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte complained about the fatigue of his team after the match against Garabagh and expressed satisfaction with the game with Liverpool (1: 1).

Before the game against Liverpool, Conte complained about the schedule. According to the Italian, the Premier League does not show proper respect for the Champions League participants, after all, Chelsea only returned home on Thursday morning after the match against Karabakh and on Saturday played on the road with Liverpool.

"In the first half we acted very competently, creating a danger when we owned the ball. In the second half we had many moments to score. Perhaps when we looked best, we missed the goal, "said Comte.

"I think we were out of luck if we look at the dynamics of Liverpool's goal. But at the same time, I'm happy with the reaction of their players. We demonstrated a great desire, a willingness to fight and did not accept defeat. We tried to win. Our team should be happy, despite the draw ".

"Both teams laid out on the field from start to finish. It was very hard for us to play after a long flight, my players did not have time to rest.

And playing at Anfield is not easy, because here you are holding a match against a very strong team in a magnificent atmosphere ".

"Thanks to our tactical plan, Liverpool was very difficult to create moments. I think we were well prepared for the match. In the second half the game changed, we dominated and created many chances. Liverpool was lucky to score and play a draw ".

After 13 rounds Chelsea inferior to Man City 8 points. The lag may increase if today "citizens" score points in the game against Huddersfield.
