The president of UEFA, Alexander Ceferinspoke about the threat of a strike by footballers due to the overloaded match calendar. Spanish internationals like Rodri and Carvajal have expressed their disagreement about this, but not only. Others like Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City forward and Belgian international, have done it before.
Injuries continue to affect football players playing for their clubs and national teams and they once again put on the table an issue already mentioned by Juanjo Brau, former physio of FC Barcelona, who believes that the footballers should make the first move. to face the problem, give up, if necessary, part of their salary for the benefit of their health.
Ceferin, at the ECA Assembly held on Thursday, recognized, on the one hand, that the calendar will not absorb more matches: “We must recognize that the match calendar has reached its maximum capacity. It has been reached that’s our limits”. But he believes that this situation only affects some clubs and players specifically: “The effect is not the same: some clubs have a lot of load but many others have a lot of capacity. For the teams that are most problem, there’s no room for more games.”
And he added: “I have to say: Who is complaining? Those with the highest salaries and those with 25 top-level footballers. Those who earn less and have almost no eleven players are not complaining and they love to play .”
