"It will be very difficult for us to recover," Conte told reporters on Tuesday. "Whoever prepared the fixtures for the league must pay great attention. "I'd like to underline I'm talking for all the teams who are playing in the Champions League, not just for Chelsea. At this moment, England needs to try to understand this problem and change something." Conte said Chelsea were in the same situation in September when they travelled to Atletico Madrid on Sept. 27 and hosted Manchester City three days later.Conte says the fixture scheduling is a problem for all English teams competing in the Champions League, not just Chelsea, and it could be a reason why no English team has won the competition since we did in 2012.

"For a lot of time, there hasn't been an English team playing a final in the Champions League. Why is this? The teams are very strong, and every team has the possibility to go through to the Champions League final," he added. Chelsea are nine points behind league leaders Manchester City and a point behind second-placed United.Conte says it is normal to rotate when we are playing every three days. He stresses he trusts all his players, and adds he has a squad with great maturity who appreciate the importance of tomorrow's game.
