On May 29, Chelsea and Betis will meet in the Europa Conference League Final.
While the Premier League ends its final round on Sunday, La Liga has a more flexible schedule, allowing Betis to complete the season on Friday evening.
This gave the Spanish representative nearly two more days off before the final match.
In response to this information, Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca spoke out against it.
Metro quoted the coach as saying: "I am not satisfied at all. You can't give a team another 48 hours when they're preparing to play in the European final.
I don't know if it's the responsibility of the Premier League, La Liga or UEFA.
But it is not normal to have to play against a team with 48 hours more time off than us. I don't know who that is, but there must be regulations."
In addition to concerns about the fixtures, the Chelsea coach was also asked to evaluate Real Betis' outstanding stars.
In particular, midfielder Isco is highly appreciated by him, because the two had worked together at Malaga.
Enzo said of his former teammate: Isco is a top player. He has spent many years at Real Madrid.
We played together when he was very young. We have Ruud van Nistelrooy, Santi Cazorla, Joaquin and me!
At the end of the season, Chelsea still have many goals. In the Premier League, they need to beat Nottingham Forest in the final round if they want to find a place in the Champions League.
However, winning the Europa Conference League is also very important, which will help Enzo Maresca and his students leave the season empty-handed.
