The new Club World Cup, which will be held this summer, is not to everyone's taste. Four months before the start of this new competition (June 15-July 13) to be held in the United States of America, several European leagues have not yet agreed to revise the calendar to allow players to rest.
A kind of "revenge" against FIFA, explains to "The Telegraph", the Premier League's sporting director, Tony Scholes, underlining his concern for the health of the footballers.
According to Scholes, FIFA has organized a competition that no one would have wanted to play and therefore will not change the calendar: “ Why change our competition when FIFA has imposed a competition that we do not agree with? ”, he began. “ We have studied this issue. This competition was imposed on us by FIFA… It is an element.
But the most important thing is that we simply cannot change. At the moment the schedule is as tight as can be imagined. And we cannot afford to delay the start of the season. UEFA has added knockout matches: Manchester City will play two more games in the group stage, two more in the play-offs and six or even seven games in the Club World Cup.
"So there will potentially be 10 more games this year. The schedule is stretched to the max, we've gone too far. We're doing everything we can to make the schedule as reasonable as possible in a situation that is beyond our control and incredibly difficult to manage. "
