"Don't play". PSG president responds harshly to those complaining about a busy fixture schedule
In recent weeks, the issue of the congested football calendar, which has led to an increase in injuries among top players, has become one of the most discussed topics in the media. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has also weighed in on the matter.
Details: According to Al-Khelaifi, the focus should not be on complaining about the schedule but on finding collective solutions that consider the interests of all clubs. To those criticizing the new Club World Cup, he suggested simply opting out.
Quote:
"Players and clubs who are complaining – don't play. I get complaints that only two clubs from each country can participate. Some want more than two. But on the other hand, they complain. You can't win.
The calendar has always been an issue. It needs to be addressed with all stakeholders, sitting together, openly and transparently, to find what's best for everyone, not just for a select few".
Reminder: Today, another player voiced concerns about the demanding match schedule—Chelsea and Spain left-back Marc Cucurella.
