Conte unhappy with Parma postponement

Juventus tactician Antonio Conte believed that his side’s Tuesday Serie A encounter against Parma could have proceeded had it been rescheduled in the afternoon.

The clash at the Stadio Ennio Tardini was postponed due to extreme snowy conditions which rendered the pitch unplayable.

"There's 10 centimeters of snow, but we could already have known that the weather would be like this about three days ago thanks to the modern instruments," Conte was quoted as saying by Il Corriere dello Sport.

"Something should have been done. The match could have gone ahead if it had been moved to three in the afternoon."

AC Milan's surprise 2-0 reverse to Lazio on Wednesday night has provided Juventus with an ideal opportunity to extend their one-point advantage at the top of the Serie A standings, with their fixture against Parma yet to be rescheduled.
