Just one day between is pretty dumb, he is right about that. Two or three days and it is the normal CL-league rhythm anyway so I don't think he would have complained.

BREAKING NEWS: James confirms he will remain at Madrid
Real Madrid star James Rodriguez has confirmed that he will remain at the club, putting an end to rumours about his future.
James Rodriguez has ended speculation linking him with a move away from Real Madrid by confirming he will stay and fight for his place.
Rumours had been circulating that the Colombia international was attracting the interest of both Chelsea and Manchester United after starting just four LaLiga games in the first half of the season.
But the 25-year-old, who played a starring role with two goals against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, is committed to fighting for his place after talks with Zidane.
Speaking to beIN Sports after the match, James said: "All of us who are in the team always want to play.
"But I am fine. We all go through difficult times and now it's a new year and I have new desires in life. I am staying, I am staying."

Conte: We knew this could happen against Spurs
Antonio Conte called on his Chelsea players to accept the unfamiliar feeling of defeat after Tottenham denied them a Premier League record.
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte urged his players to accept defeat to "a great team" after Tottenham ended the Premier League leaders' ambitions of a record-breaking 14th consecutive top-flight win in the same season.
Dele Alli headed home a pair of Christian Eriksen crosses either side of half-time to give Spurs a deserved 2-0 victory at White Hart Lane.
Conte bemoaned the fact that Alli's second – his seventh in his past four outings to continue an impressive hot streak – came after Diego Costa and Eden Hazard had come close to levelling for Chelsea, but there were few other moments of encouragement for his side.
"We knew that this could happen before now," he told Sky Sports. "I think I saw a game with a good balance. They scored a goal at the end of the first half and then they scored the second goal in our best moment.
"It's a pity to stop this run but Tottenham is a good team, a really strong team and I think for sure they are one of the teams who can fight for the title until the end.
"They fought last season and for sure Tottenham can fight also this year.
"Two good teams with good intensity and good pressure tried to win the game. Tottenham scored in two strange moments [especially in] the second half when we missed two chances to equalise."
Asked whether his usually miserly defence should come under scrutiny for their failure to deal with Alli, Conte added: "I didn't see the [replay of] of the situation but, for sure, I saw a good cross and a good header. With the team we will see.
"My team, we are at the top of the table because we are working a lot and I think that from last season we improved a lot.
"But for sure this championship is very tough and for this reason it is important to work and continue to improve.
"It can happen, a defeat against Tottenham.
"Now it is important to restart. After 13 wins in a row it is difficult to accept a defeat but this is football and we must accept and remember our defeat arrived with a great team."
