Pep Guardiola believes that the “big overload” of games has caused his team serious problems for this and some of his team players have suffered injuries.
The Manchester City manager who has previously said that UEFA and FIFA are “killing the players”, has called on the players to … rebel to change this situation by abstaining from matches.
In fact, he gave as an example the Spanish women, who after winning the World Cup, announced in a letter their intention to boycott the country’s Nations League matches.
“Look at Spain with the women’s team, the players decided to change something and they changed it. Something changed because the players decided they had the means to protect the players and the future of the teams for the new generations. The greatest legacy is this. The women’s teams in Spain have done it, I don’t know if they will do it in men’s world football,” he said and continued:
“I love playing football games, it’s just that when there’s a break there should be the right break. This is my opinion. I always use the NBA as an example. They play 80 games in a few months, but after that, they have four months off, or three months off if they don’t make the finals […]. I know I’m not going to influence anyone, but I think it should be the players. If the players want to change something in football, they are the only ones who can do it,” he concluded.
