00:00The idea of how many matches the players play, do you think they're playing too many games?

00:07Yes, no doubt.

00:09So what solution would you come up with?

00:13Because players are paying enormous amounts of money to play football matches and entertain everybody,

00:18yet we're being told the more they play, the less likely they are to be able to perform properly and entertain.

00:23So where is the happy balance?

00:25No, I think in terms of games it's too much.

00:31I don't think we protect players, but the only ones that can do something are the players.

00:38Because we can say what we think, but for me it's completely wrong with the amount of games that we have.

00:45But the only ones that can do something are the players and we can help them.

00:52I think in the last week, in the last two weeks, some of the players tried to explain or to say what they think

00:57and I think it's a good starting point.

01:00What about going on strike?

01:03Some of them said that. It could be an idea for them.

01:08If I was one of your players and I said, listen, I'm playing too many games, can you leave me out of the League Cup or the FA Cup,

01:14how would you view that?

01:16This is not going to happen.

01:18It's not going to happen. Not here, not them.

01:20Because at the end, since they were very young, they trained and they worked and the dream was to be a football player.

01:28They are not going to say, no, I don't want to play.

01:31This is not going to happen, never.

01:33It can happen something different, but all the players at the end, they want to play the games.
