Rummenigge blamed the players and agents for the high number of matches

The issue of an overloaded football calendar has become one of the most talked-about topics in world football. Many players believe the schedule is dangerous for their health, with some even threatening to strike. However, Bayern Munich supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has shared a less popular opinion.

Details: According to Rummenigge, who served as Bayern's CEO for many years, the players and their agents are responsible for the current situation.

Quote:

"Players and their agents have fallen into this calendar trap. By demanding ever higher salaries, they force clubs to generate ever higher revenues. And how do they generate this revenue? Through more games", Rummenigge told Bild.

Reminder: Bayern's leader Joshua Kimmich previously expressed that he, on the contrary, enjoys playing a greater number of matches.

This summer, Bayern, along with 11 other European clubs, will participate in the revamped 2025 Club World Cup, a tournament that has sparked much debate due to the additional strain it will place on players.
