"Matches in the Christmas season - this is normal, but after them you need a break. It is not easy. Players and coaches are very tired, because this tense period begins in November, not in December. From November to the end of February, the team plays every three days, especially if it participates in all tournaments. Players need time to recover, one week, and then you can continue. That would be right.. It is necessary to try to ensure that all teams were at the peak, so that the fight was in all the tournaments, "- quotes the official website of Conte Chelsea.

"In February, the Champions League resumes, and when you do not have even a week to rest and take a breath, you come to the playoffs very tired. It would be nice to think about this situation, try to find new solutions, how to help players, protect them from injuries ".

"Coach needs rest, especially when you have 25 matches in two and a half months. I'm talking about all coaches and players, not just myself.

A lot of energy is spent on preparing for the match: video analysis, tactical work, working with the team using different schemes for different opponents. It's not easy. If it was only in the matches, it would not be so difficult, but when a lot of work is done before the match, I, and especially my coaching staff, have to work hard ".
