He certainly points to Manchester City, who have long protested about so many games.
Football’s highest bodies in general, whether they are called FIFA or UEFA, insist that everyone is consulted with their respective leagues and dismiss their complaints as pure hypocrisy.

No one refused this, in the same way that no players propose to their clubs a reduction in their salaries in exchange for playing fewer games.
