Conte raps: Tottenham have been penalised a lot

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is unhappy with their busy schedule.

Spurs open their Champions League campaign at home to Marseille on Wednesday, starting a run of three games in six days.

Conte's men travel to the Etihad to face champions Manchester City on Saturday before a trip to Sporting Lisbon the following Tuesday.

It is the second consecutive run of three games in six days for Spurs after they played Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Fulham last week.

"Honestly to see this schedule is incredible, it's crazy," Conte said at his press conference ahead of the Marseille clash.

"We played three games in six days, now we are playing after four days but we are starting again to play Marseille, City, Sporting in six days. I think this is the first time in my career to see a schedule like this.

"Compared to the other teams Tottenham have been penalised a lot. We have been unlucky.

"I've spoken to the club that we need to pay great attention to speak to the Premier League. One day more or less can completely change your life."
