    All Pep is doing, is trying to protect his players. The season is long or going to be long. He is not asking for less games. He was asking for one more day of rest maybe play the game on Sunday or Monday. People are not mentioning that when teams play in the champions league they represent the league or they are best in that league there fore representing the FA. City was not only representing themselves in the Champions league final they were representing England or English football. And Wednesdays also was the same thing. Maybe I am seeing this with different eyes. Simon will never be on the side of the player because he has this narrative that they are being over payed. Well they didn’t just wake up and got big wages. The game and the rules of the game dictated that. And it took a lot of sacrifice from those players to be the best they are. Just imagine how many players want to be professionals let alone play in the big leagues. So if you want the best players, we’ll you have to pay top dollar. And most of all it is a living for them it’s the only profession they know.

    • @Lioness_UTV
      @Lioness_UTV 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree, likely we all agree that there is too much football and clearly not enough rotation as the players bodies are feeling the strain.
      So something has to give. Simon is right in that you can't have it all, there has to be compromise by clubs, by managers or by the players.
      And Martin is wrong, its not all on the players, but they are the commodity, without them there is nothing.
      The other consideration is that this issue only impacts top 8 clubs per Europe and the higher you are in the league the more money you get the more games you play. Those in clubs lower down and in other divisions do not reap the same level of benefits so it really is a rich club issue.

    Nobody answered the question as to why Pep couldn't be given a 24hr difference and a Sunday KO - was that too much to ask so they could prepare properly for the 2nd game of the season? The alternative was to play all the kids and 2nd string - lose the game but be rested properly for Newcastle. CIty are being penalised because of their success in this instance. Do you think this happens in La Liga or the Bundesliga - NO it doesn't, their representatives in europe are always given a little slack when required within the scheduling.

    There is a simple solution, namely to cap the amount of playing time a footballer can have - in terms of minutes, over say, a 21 day period. It would require some thought on the coaches part, should be adjusted for age, both old and young, and probably require larger squads, but there is a lot of money in the game so the teams with the issues could certainly afford extra personnel .

    These player get paid an ungodly amount of money.

Most people work jobs they hate while these lads play football. Soft generation. I have zero sympathy.

      Do you have the same pressure in your 8 hour job? Do they restrict what you can do? What you can eat? People act like these players are getting some privilege...no, they work for their money. The reason why they only train for 4 hours is because if they trained more it would be counterproductive to the goals of the team...the human body is not wood or steel ( heck even wood or steel experiences material fatigue if you overuse them)

    Today's footballers are pathetic. Compare their fitness to that of tennis players. They very often have to play for three, four or five hours very often in extreme heat and then have to do it again two days later. Any player who gets to a slam final has to play 7 times in the space of two weeks and each match will last a minimum of two and a half hours. For Christ sake Andy Murray played a match in the Aussie Open at 36 with a metal hip that lasted almost six hours and still won. I think players in the 50's, 60's and 70's even given that they smoked and drank heavily were fitter than the players of today. No squad rotation then. I am afraid that all the money has made today's players pampered poodles.
