Tottenham Hotspur still want to play the Conference League game against Stade Rennes, Antonio Conte emphasized at the press conference on Wednesday. The Londoners are searching with all their might for a catch-up date for the European match, which must be played before December 31. Tottenham have already made a futile special attempt at the Premier League to create space in the schedule, know football.london.
For example, Tottenham made a request to the English league to postpone the game with Leicester City next Thursday. On that day, the confrontation with Rennes could be overtaken. There is the Spurs They care so much about playing the match that they are even open to playing the home game in France. Leicester also saw a delay due to corona problems, but the Premier League rejected the request. Because Tottenham will play two league matches weekly this month, there seems to be no room for a meeting with Rennes without the cooperation of the Premier League.
“We want to play the game,” Conte said at Wednesday’s press moment. “Tottenham deserve to play the last game of this group. I think it’s a very strange situation, because the government decided to close our training complex. We can’t train and it’s for this reason that we can’t play, not for a other reason. We are not at fault. We deserve to play this game and try to advance to the next round.”
The Spurs are faced with a corona outbreak within staff and selection, as a result of which the match against Rennes last Thursday could not take place. Rule J.4.1 of UEFA’s competition rules states that all group matches must be completed before 31 December 2021. If that doesn’t happen, Tottenham will be defeated by regulations 0-3.
