UEFA and FIFA were accused by the 33-year-old of prioritizing money above player welfare.
“Perhaps this year things will go smoothly,” he expressed through Mundo Deportivo. “However, it could become problematic next year. The PFA in England and other players’ associations worldwide are actively searching for solutions.”
There lies an issue where UEFA and FIFA have increased the number of matches. Despite attempting to voice our concerns, we are unable to find a solution as their primary concern is money-driven rather than addressing these problems.
The actual issue, in my opinion, will arise upon the conclusion of the Club World Cup. It’s worth noting that there’ll only be a three-week gap between the final and the onset of Premier League matches.
“He added via Mundo Deportivo that we have a break of three weeks to prepare ourselves for playing another 80 games later.”
