‘The time will come when we will have to go on strike’ - Barcelona defender on Rodri's words

Increasingly, players are expressing through the media that the growing number of matches and reduced rest time is becoming a significant issue, leading them to consider drastic measures.

Details: Barcelona's central defender, Jules Koundé, has stated ahead of UEFA Champions League matches that there will come a time when players may have to declare a strike to be heard.

Quote: "Each year, we face more games and less rest. We, the players, have been saying this for 3-4 years, but no one listens to us. There will come a time when we will have to declare a strike to be heard, as Rodri has mentioned," Koundé remarked.

Reminder: Manchester City's midfielder, Rodri, has expressed concern over the congested calendar, suggesting that it might eventually lead to player strikes.

Ahead of a UEFA Champions League match, Rodri held a press conference where he highlighted the challenging schedule faced by players and the growing concerns it raises among them.
