"The difficult thing is that we need more help from our country, our Premier League, its not a complaint, its a reality that when you play Thursday and a long travel to get back home and you play on Sunday in the morning - against Chelsea who played yesterday and have three days to prepare against us, and we have one day to prepare against Chelsea, and this is a clear advantage for the opponent but we need to accept the rules for the game, but this is a reality for us."
