"Premier League leaders, London's "Chelsea" team has an advantage - the "Blues" save energy throughout the season and can better prepare for weekend matches because they do not participate in the Champions League.
This opportunity was opened for the team by their tenth place in the last championship.
This Saturday, "Chelsea" will try to extend their winning streak in the league to 7 victories, but the team faces a serious opponent - "Tottenham".
"Of course, it is important that we have more time to prepare for matches, because I have only been working here for four months.
When you arrive with your philosophy, it is very important to have time to implement it. Of course, it is an advantage (not playing in the Champions League - ed.), but who wouldn't want to compete there?", said the Italian.
He urges his players to take opponents seriously, despite "Tottenham's" failure in the international tournament.
"Each match is different, for example, after losing to "Bayer" they played a great match against "Arsenal"," Conte said.
