World-class footballers are increasingly faced with extremely busy schedules. This is already evident in these first weeks of competition in the major championships with the number of injuries. The calendar is increasingly tight, the congestion of matches between national and international competitions and national team matches demands impeccable physical performances from footballers who, as the Kevin of Bruyne has FIFA And UEFAthey are fed up.
Kevin de Bruyne speaks out loud and clear during this international break during his call with Belgium. The captain of Manchester City was really concerned about this whole situation and how the new Club World Cupwhich, although it offers a new format that is more than suggestive for the viewer, can be a “death sentence” for many footballers.
The big organizations keep adding dates and compressing the calendar even more. The big clubs that compete and progress in all competitions spend practically the entire season playing two games a week, games every three or four days in the best case, a situation that directly affects the most important players, those who tend to play everything.
He thought about it Of Bruyne before the media, with his usual calm but also with brilliant clarity, leaving clear evidence to the FIFA and the UEFAstressing that far from seeking sporting improvements for football, clubs and players, “money speaks for them”. In recent weeks, a worrying and dizzying rate of injuries has been observed in Spain. See the the real Madrid and the annoyances of their internationals (Mendy, Tchouaméni or Militao) or of the Barcelona and a long list of injuries that are piling up.

“I think the real problem will come when we finish the Club World Cup. We know that between the Club World Cup final and the first day of the Premier League there will only be three weeks,” De Bruyne told the media when he was called up to Belgium, stressing that they will only have “three weeks” left to rest and prepare to play another 80 games next season.
The calendar is busy this year but, according to Of BruyneThe real problems could come in the 25/26 season: “Maybe this year everything will be fine, but next year it will be a problem.”
And that’s it, Of Bruyne reveals that football associations are trying to find solutions but are facing opposition from heavyweights, the UEFA and the FIFA and the mighty knight Don Dinero: “The PFA in England and players’ associations in other countries have tried to find solutions. The problem is that UEFA and FIFA are playing extra games and you can try to say something, but no solution has been found. They don’t care. “Money speaks for them.”
