00:00You think it will get to a point where after playing so many games or being asked to play so many games that the players will
00:06say I don't want to be part of this and they'll actually end up like going on strike or refusing to play in such
00:13You know such a big calendar
00:15Yeah, I think we're close to that
00:23If something is going to change always have must come from the place at that business
00:29Can be without managers can be without sporting directors can be without media can be without
00:37owners, but without the players
00:40Can not be played
00:42The complaint that the coaches and players have won't change the calendar of this
00:52What is important is to reflect on this
00:56The important organism, the league, the UEFA, the FIFA are thinking that
01:03the players, especially the players, because the coaches
01:08are getting tired
01:09It's not just the load for the players, but it's also the travels and you know these guys some of these guys they go from
01:16from playing in the Champions League to playing a national team game in Korea or something and I'm back and
01:22If you do that for 70, 75, 80 games, it's a point where it's not realistic anymore
01:28So to this point I can only support the
01:31the feeling of the players
01:33There is a moment when the players feel that there are too many games
01:39So the calendar is very intense and they have to
01:44They need to be heard. They need to participate in these decisions because we want good football
01:50So it's a big reflection and a
01:54challenge
01:57He is totally right to have this opinion
02:00This is not going to happen
02:02It's not going to happen, not here, not them, because at the end
02:08Since they were very young, they train and they work and the dream was to be football player
02:13They are not going to say no, I don't want to play. This is not going to happen ever
02:19It can happen something different, but all the players, at the end, they want to play the games
02:24If you give players enough time to recover between seasons and that gives them a better opportunity to
02:30to play the games that seem to be in the schedule now
02:33But it seems like that the windows of recovery for players are getting smaller and smaller and I definitely think that's an issue
