Spurs should worry about Wembley, warns Chelsea boss Antonio Conte as he highlights help of home comforts
- Antonio Conte saw Juventus move from Stadio delle Appi to their new ground
- He said Tottenham would eventually benefit from their temporary switch
- Conte also explained why he wore his tracksuit for the Burnley encounter
Antonio Conte has warned Tottenham that playing at Wembley could be a psychological disadvantage because it won't feel like home.
Conte, who also spoke about the cold atmosphere at Juventus' former ground, Stadio delle Alpi, because of the distance between the fans and the players, said that missing your familiar environment can take its toll.
Chelsea, who take on Spurs at Wembley on Sunday, are due to follow in the footsteps of their London neighbours when Stamford Bridge is redeveloped in two years time.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte warned Tottenham about the temporary move to Wembley
But Conte said: 'For sure it's not the same when you don't play in your stadium. It's different. But if you want to have another good step to improve the club, you must have this type of situation.
'Moving to a new stadium was a key moment for Juventus. I think there is a big difference in the new stadium because the delle Alpi (the former stadium) in which I played a lot, wasn't a real stadium.
'It was very cold and you don't feel the passion of the fans because the stand was very far from the pitch.
'When we started to play in Juventus Stadium, the situation changed totally, above all for the players. The players felt the fans behind them. It's great.
Conte also explained why he wore a tracksuit for the visit of Burnley to Stamford Bridge
'Stamford Bridge is similar to Juventus Stadium and is a really good stadium, but for sure the new stadium will be fantastic for the club, for the coach, for the players.'
Conte will be suited and booted on the touch line on Sunday after his rare outing in a tracksuit against Burnley last weekend.
Conte said: 'Because we hadn't found a new house in London, I didn't have my suit with me last weekend. But now from Sunday, I wear again my suit.'
