Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti's Request to Soccer's Bosses after the Injury Plague
The Italian coach talks about the schedule again
Carlo Ancelotti has given an interview to an Italian radio station and has made some interesting headlines. Thus, he has analyzed several current issues of interest.
Beyond talking about soccer in Italy and the current state of Real Madrid, the Reggiolo coach has once again analyzed the schedule. He emphasized that it is overloaded with games and is an abuse for the players.
Thus, he has sent a message to UEFA and, above all, to FIFA to take action on this matter. He believes that so many injuries are no coincidence.
"The schedule is exaggerated and demands a lot from the players. Next year it must change. This way, we can't progress; we're putting the players' health at risk," he stated.
"They are the product"
Good old Carletto is clear that the players are the product that provides a great spectacle for the fans. For this simple reason, he argues that they must be protected.
This message he sends is not the first time he's said it, far from it. He has already emphasized it on several occasions to the media, although he has insisted that nothing can be done now. He points more toward next summer.
Real Madrid shares the same view
From the noble area of Chamartín, they completely agree with Ancelotti. Florentino Pérez mentioned this issue at the Assembly of Compromisary Members. He even gave an example of the matches Bellingham has played at 22 years old compared to those Beckham played at the same age.
The difference was truly abysmal. The high-ranking officials of the institution believe that certain things need to change. Even within the Madrid team, they have been victims of the way soccer is being approached.
We'll have to see what happens. Fortunately, the current European champion is not alone in this fight. Several players and coaches have expressed their dissatisfaction with this whole issue.
There was even a "threat" of a players' strike. The issue is very heated, and if no measures are taken, there may be consequences in the not-too-distant future.
