Why the fuck are they tiptoeing around it?
It’s been like fourth interview about it.
A - YOU ARE SAYIN SOMETHING ABOUT IT
B - Footballers show how they are really not the brightest.
They really are privileged type of a worker, which has both time and money to organize biblical proportions of a union, but they don’t for some reason.
Any real threat of a strike from such union and players, clubs and football organizations would shit their pants.
But they are just plain stupid with really weak ass union and just do PR stuff about it.
It’s like that Mendy/Vini/Mephis case, when they are rather sniff their own farts and pat themselves on their back and do nothing about it.
If clubs and leagues wont do anything about it I think the next step is players will start putting a 50 game limit into contract negotiations
Multinational player’s union perhaps?
International players union!
Trade places with you any day bud
Legitimately curious, is there a footballers union? Do they have any actual recourse into forcing leagues and/or FA’s to lessen the games being forced upon them?
England has the PFA but I would imagine other leagues have similar players unions. How well they all operate and how effective they are is a different matter
I mean, youre a player dog. Do and say something.
i mean, saying “someone should do something” isnt exactly the same as actually doing something.
Get rid of the pointless domestic cups which hardly pay anything and just risk top flight players against 2nd div teams.
Then be prepared to give up a lot of money. Players were all in favor of VAR so with that came naturally longer matches with more net play time. This is what happens.
The back-to-back appearance percentages for the players profiled in the report is pretty alarming so I hope they can figure out a viable solution.
Obviously we play Tchouaméni matches
teehee
I agree to a point. This is only really a problem for the absolute top players. There’s maybe 20-30 eredivisie players who always start, play in Europe and start for their country. The other 400-500 players or so could probably care less, their load is fine. Figures may be different in the PL or La Liga but it’s still going to be a problem for a small percentage. So it will be difficult to get everyone to agree to this.
Ridiculous that a kid who earned a $10m/year contract based on <100 matches in his career complains about the number of matches being played.
These guys play football, get the life of luxury, free cars, villas, adoration of millions, and yet all you hear is about too many matches.
You don’t even have to go far deep to see how delusional this is. Ask any League 1, 2, etc. player about this and they’d laugh you out of the room for the simple fact that this problem exists for 0.5% of the players, all of whom are multimillionaires.
And yet, somehow, people feel sorry for them.
With how much they get paid, and they get the best physical treatment, facilities, chefs etc.
I’d be playing for all that no problem
Lol it’s how I run my career mode. Somehow I still get a couple of injuries a year. Game hates me.
