Kevin de Bruyne, the star of Manchester City and Belgium sounds the alarm. The reason? The season that has just started is completely new for the world of football.
Not only does the Champions League have a new format with more teams and therefore more matches (the so-called League Phase, which will actually last until January), but next summer the Club World Cup will be played.
" I think the real problem will arise at the end of the Club World Cup when there will be only three weeks between the final and the start of the English championship. 21 days to take some time off and get ready to play another 80 games. The problem is that UEFA and FIFA always organize more matches. Complaints are not even considered. They don't care about anything except money ," said the Belgian.
His friend at Manchester City, Bernardo Silva, is on the same wavelength.
" The calendar is completely crazy, we've just got the news that we'll only have one day off for the FA Cup game. Maybe we'll play every three days for a month and that's absurd.
In the Champions League, if you don't qualify directly for the 1/8s, you have to play at least two more matches. It is true that the organics are more numerous in number, but the amount of matches that we submit to remains absurd ", declared the Portuguese.
