Like I expected, Conte completely ignore this great opportunity to rotate. I hope this does not come back to bite us, but it most likely will bite us in the arse. We have 7 consecutive games every 3-4 days ending with Juventus. Even if we recover from tonight and play well against Lazio, by the time we play Juventus our team will be fatigued to death, even more so because of our demanding style of play.
9th: Milan
12th: Napoli
16th: Lazio
20th: Ludogorets
23rd: Sampdoria
27th Ludogorets
1st: Juventus
This has happened twice before this season, where we had a run of 7 games every 3 days, and we always fucked up in the 6th or 7th game. And had a whole lot of injuries which cannot be completely unrelated to our heavy schedule + demanding style. But earlier Conte had an excuse - there was a poor bench and every game was equally important. Now there is no fucking excuse to not rotate in a fucking coppa game.
Very stupid of Conte.
