Look at the number of injuries. Guardiola commented on the overloaded schedule
The Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has voiced his support for the potential legal action against FIFA due to the increase in the number of matches in the football season, which, in his opinion, leads to more injuries.
Pep has spoken about the possibility of players going on strike to express their discontent with the increased number of tournaments and matches. He noted that the volume of games is too high, especially considering the short rest periods players have in the summer.
"Only players can change something. I've said many times that we have too many matches. The problem is that in the summer, we only have three weeks of vacation. It's not enough time to recover. Look at the number of injuries," - quoted the Spanish specialist by the Daily Mail.
In December, Manchester City played nine matches: six in the Premier League, two in the Club World Cup, and one in the Champions League. Starting from 2025, the Club World Cup will be expanded to 32 teams.
