CHELSEA’S CONTE BLASTS PREMIER LEAGUE SCHEDULERS
Chelsea chief Antonio Conte beat the Premier League planners on the short lap of his side of the Champions League action before facing Manchester City in a high-end clash on Saturday.

However, the Italian deplored the advantage granted to City, who played at the Champions League home at Shakhtar Donetsk 24 hours earlier Tuesday. "I think we are a bit penalized and, in this case, it is very important to analyze, before making these decisions, the different situations of the team," said Conte. "The city played yesterday at home, we played tonight and we will be back in London around four in the morning." The city led the Manchester United Premier League on goal difference, with Chelsea scoring three points third. "Man City is a really strong team, they score a lot of goals, they are in good shape and we have to prepare well for this game because it is very important." Before making this decision, someone has to analyze this situation very well. "There's the international break (after this weekend), and my surprise is because there's time (to play later)." Conte was much more pleased with Chelsea's posting as they struggling to claim three well-deserved points despite a delay on Antoine Griezmann's penalty five minutes before half-time. Former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has extended his scoring series to seven goals in as many games with a skillful header from the Eden Hazard catwalk at the time. - "We kept our heads" - Morata and Cesc Fabregas then had a great chance before Batshuayi struck the decisive blow with the last kick after a patient move that tore a tiring Atletico. "It is very difficult when Atlético Madrid marks his return, but despite this we deserve to win because we continued to play with a good personality," added Conte. "We kept our head on the pitch and we deserved to win against a very good team like Atletico Madrid." Batshuayi was the unlikely hero as he came out of the bench just eight minutes of his time to net, fifth goal of the season despite the second violin in Morata. "To score for an attacker is always important for your confidence, but it is more important that they understand that this way of playing is just," said Conte. "I want this type of player with great athletics and give me the opportunity to change the game per game." In contrast to Chelsea's euphoria, the defeat left Atletico, who reached the Champions League final in two of the previous four seasons, struggling to get out of Group C. The Spaniards leave the Roma in third place after three points after their 2-1 victory against Azerbaijani Qarabag on Wednesday. "They were better in all aspects of the game," admitted Griezmann. "We have a lot more games to play and we have to try to win them all." Maybe I had to play better too. Outside the goal, it was not a good day for me. I have to learn from today and keep working. "
