The schedule puts clubs and players to the test, with multiple injuries – many serious – due to the load of the matches. The threat of a footballers’ strike looms, but those who have taken the lead are the leagues and the unions. Javier Tebas joined the players’ fight and will denounce the FIFA, considering him responsible for the considerable increase in the number of parties. All this, despite the fact that the League is the one which tightened the calendar the most during the first months of classes.
THE League will go to European Union next to the Premier League and the union FIFPRO to denounce FIFA. They will do it for a so-called “Dominant position”which has already been recognized by the CJEU with UEFA, ruling in favor of the Super League. Today, the president of the Spanish employers’ union complained that “no league agrees” with the timetable imposed by the body led by Gianni Infantino.
So they will go to court to denounce this FIFA makes decisions unilaterally, without taking into account the rest of the national competitions, and saturating the calendar. Tebas points out that the number of festivals means that there are “300 players who play them” who are harmed, but also considers that “the tens of thousands of people who don’t play it” are also affected.
“We cannot organize world football with 300 players and 20 teams. In Europe There are fifty thousand professional players. Players who earn one or two thousand euros per month or who earn one or two million per month. And families depend on this industry and all this saturation of competitions also affects those who do not compete,” declares the president of the League.
Tebas will go against FIFA
In addition, he criticized the expansion of the Champions League, which will have more days and more matches thanks to the expansion of its format: “Now the mid-sized European leagues are suffering from the new format of Champions. They are losing value in their markets. And if you lose value, players who don’t participate in these competitions will earn less money. FIFPRO He realized that this is also very important. “We need to protect this industry globally.”
Without mentioning it, he recalled the Super League, which he criticized so much, considering it the end of the national championships. Thebes indicated that he hoped that “the latest convictions”, which are those of the Super League and that of Diarra, be taken into account, since “They make it clear that unilateral decisions cannot be taken by FIFA and UEFA without taking into account the owners.” “Both go in the direction that you have to agree with the actors, not as you wish,” he concluded.
However, the President of the League has taken it upon himself to ensure that the competition he leads is the one with the most matches played to date among the continent’s majors. While the League has played nine games since August, the first, THE Series A and the flirt 1 seven were contested, while in Germany six rounds of the competition were contested. Bundesliga.
