Actually Conte goes on to say that Tottenham have been treated worse in this regard than the other top teams.
I haven't looked at the fixture lists of all the teams, but yours seems pretty standard to me. Not really sure what he expects to happen.
The second half of the season looks so much better for us, we just need to get through these pre World Cup fixtures with as many points as we can.
By the time we break for the WC we will have played away to:
Chelsea
West Ham
City
Arsenal
United
Brighton
That’s a few teams we usually compete with plus West Ham and Brighton.
Luckily for Conte we just spent an entire transfer window focussing on strength in depth, so it’s time to rotate. Otherwise what was the point.

Try and win every game (in every competition) and see where it takes you.

Wrong thread
Even though a Spurs fan who thinks Conte is the best thing that has happened to our club in ages, I do get irritated with managers, particularly Klopp and Pep, moaning about this on a bi-monthly basis, to be fair, 6 games into the season, and with so much desire to be in the CL in the first place, you really cannot start this early in about fixtures.
Could be Conte "games" but, come, you want to be competing at the top, it means loads of games will come along.
Besides, this is why top clubs strive to build squad depth. We all know the club who has the strongest bench usually come out on top over a season.

Funnily enough, the issue is the media on this o as soon. Conte was comparing us having to play 3 times in 6 days on two occasions this season already and comparing that to Liverpool, Chelsea and City who get to play 3 times in 7 days and 8 days respectively. This was due to TV scheduling.
I can’t believe you missed a genuine opportunity to legitimately blame the media
Ah I see Conte is using his favourite excuse already. The facts are there for all to see with this: Conte cannot handle two games a week due to his over the top preparation. The wheels are going to fall off at Spurs this season and you arrogant fans deserve it. I cannot wait.

No wonder you get abused, lad! Yu keep coming back for more!
Now go back to your thursday nights team!
I hate it when managers moan about fixture congestion. The simple thing then would be to hand over your European place to another club then.
Conte does not want to morph into another Klopp or Guardiola always moaning. It is really annoying. Just get on with it.
No real excuse for modern managers to moan when they all have massive squads to work with.
All the old time managers managed three or four competitions with about 14 or 15 first team players.

Sure but if Spurs line up with say Lucas (I know he is injured) Gil and Richarlison up front tonight and rotate Kane, Son and Kulu, the fans will schitt a brick - and yet all he would be doing is rotating the squad and using the massive squad.
What Conte was actually pointing out was that Spurs have twice this season already had to play 3 games in 6 days whereas none of the other top sides have - Liverpool have come the closest with 3 games in 7 days and City have had 3 games in 8 days. Conte was asking why we have had to do 3 games in 6 days twice

No he didn't do it consistently at all when he won the EPL. Chelsea were out of Europe that season.
