DBasia.news – Becoming a professional footballer is not easy these days. In addition to the looming threat of the corona virus pandemic, the players were also “forced” to continue to appear. They don’t get enough rest.
Football players in Europe have started to complain about the hectic schedule in recent seasons. In fact, this season, despite not getting the usual end-of-season holiday, the schedule at the beginning of the round is already packed.
The players face three games in one week. The match was for the national team and the club. That means there is not enough rest time.
In addition, FIFA also came up with the idea of making the World Cup to be every two years.
Meanwhile, UEFA has created a new competition, namely the UEFA Conference League. The players began to voice their opinions.
“We can’t talk much. The less attention is paid to the players. There will come a time when the players will explode,” said Barcelona and Spain international player, Sergio Busquets.
What Busquets feared could indeed come true. Players who are not robots become vulnerable to injury if they continue to appear in close proximity.
“I think it’s challenging. You have to sit down and evaluate it. You have to look at it from a lot of points, not just wanting more,” stated the midfielder.
Previously, Toni Kroos also gave a strong statement to FIFA and UEFA. According to him, football organizations only make players a tool to make profits.
“With the competition created, the players are just puppets for FIFA and UEFA. New competitions such as the UEFA Nations League and the expansion of the Club World Cup are created just to maximize profits and they push players to new physical limits,” concluded the Real Madrid player.
