There was anger from Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers and Tottenham coach Antonio Conte over the decision of the Premier League to reject the request to postpone the match. Fortunately for both of them, the leaders of the competition came to their senses.
These days, the coronavirus is causing really big problems for football players and coaches on the island, where more and more people are infected every day.
Tottenham were the first to “pull their legs” and had problems, which is why the match with Rennes was postponed last Thursday, which could eventually cost them the rest of the League of Conferences.
The match of the “singers” for the weekend against Brighton was also postponed because Conte literally could not put a team together. The Italian asked the leader of the Premier League to postpone the match with Leicester, but initially there was no hearing about that.
Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers, who also has problems with infected players, joined the appeals of his colleague and appealed to the Premier League to postpone the duel with Tottenham ….
Of course, the money was much more important to the leaders of the competition than the sponsorship agreements, and the problem with the subsequent dates of the matches, so they initially rejected that request.
However, after strong pressure from the two clubs, the best possible decision was made, and that is to postpone the match!
The Premier League will subsequently announce a new date for the match.
