“The solution I always wanted was to put a limit on the number of games an individual player could play. Set a limit, a mandatory vacation period”, added the Belgian coach.
Bayern can play up to 64 games this season and, in addition, many of its players will also play more for their national teams.
“It’s been a consistent theme over the years. I am part of the FIFPro players union, we always take it seriously,” added Kompany.
“As a player, I have asked that a maximum number of games be established for a player; it must be limited. In this way, his health and the interests of the clubs are protected. And in the end as well as the coaches, because it is not easy for them.
