Stop Establishing New Tournaments Without Thinking About The Players – Klopp

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to blast UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin over the high workload placed on footballers due to the hectic fixture list. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the earlier we realize that football will not even be a popular sport across the globe without footballers, the better for the game.

Klopp added that it is concerning to see how organizers keep coming out with new tournaments without thinking about the players.

His words, “I know what work means. I don’t want to offend anyone, just to point out again that this game doesn’t work without the players and is only really nice when the best are on the field.”

“Aleksander Ceferin comes out of the corner and makes a polemical statement that other people have to work a lot more. I know that, Mr. Ceferin doesn’t have to tell me that.”

“Everyone pulls (new tournaments), nobody thinks about the players,”

“Not one. New tournaments are always being invented. Now we’re making the World Cup bigger so that other teams can also take part. We’re also making the European Championship bigger, amazing!”

“A reasonable solution must be found. It does not consist of constantly inventing new competitions and extending them. It’s madness.”

“I’m well aware that I’m making an extremely good living from the whole story. I have enough vacation time. The players don’t have it. We have to change that at some point.”
