Kevin De Bruyne, a midfielder for Manchester City, has raised his concerns regarding the challenging schedule this season.
The Belgian expresses apprehension regarding the frequency of matches that athletes will be required to engage in during this season.
The former Chelsea midfielder explicitly condemned FIFA and UEFA for the introduction of additional fixtures.
De Bruyne’s Manchester City squad is anticipated to contend across all competitions orchestrated by FIFA, UEFA, and the English FA in the current season.
The 33-year-old has accused UEFA and FIFA of prioritizing financial gain over the well-being of the players.
Kevin De Bruyne said via Mundo Deportivbo, “Maybe this year everything will be fine, but next year it will be a problem. The PFA in England and players’ associations in other countries have tried to find solutions.
“The problem is that UEFA and FIFA are doing extra matches and we can try to say something, but no solution has been found. They don’t care. Money speaks for them.
“I think the real problem will come when we finish the Club World Cup. We know that between the final of the Club World Cup and the first day of the Premier League only three weeks will pass.
“So we have three weeks off and to get ready to play another 80 games later,” he added (via Mundo Deportivo).
