Recently, more and more players and coaches have criticized UEFA and FIFA for an overly congested match calendar. Representatives from clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City have been particularly vocal. However, one of Bayern Munich's leaders, Joshua Kimmich, has offered a contrasting view.
Details: In an interview with Sky Sports, Kimmich stated that injuries are often unrelated to a packed schedule, and that he actually enjoys playing more matches.
Quote:
"Maybe I'm making myself a bit unpopular, but I like to play a lot of games. In football, there will always be injuries.
Squads are also getting a bit bigger, you can rotate more often. I'm not sure if you get injured less if you play fewer games. Many serious injuries are often accidents", said the Bayern midfielder.
Reminder: Over the past weekend, Real Madrid's right-back Dani Carvajal suffered a severe injury, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
