Officials condemn players and clubs to suffering.
Dozens of stars get injured on national teams
The thirst for profit sends footballers to the slaughter. Furthermore, officials FIFA they have already taken financial risks into account for some time. For example, Real Madrid’s Camavinga was injured during training with the French national team after a clash with Ousmane Dembele. The midfielder could be absent for up to two months. Now Real Madrid will receive compensation. FIFA will give Perez 20.5 thousand euros for each day of recovery. The amount can reach up to 1.2 million euros. This will cover the player’s salary, but will not compensate for his absence.
And the financial side was not fully considered. If, for example, Mbappe or Griezmann gets seriously injured in a match against Gibraltar, this affects revenue PSG and Atlético throughout the season. And even if we do not propose to change the selection system of major tournaments, it is obvious that when almost half of the teams in the area qualify for the European Championships of UEFA, then the group stage loses its previous meaning, the question of load distribution remains. This year, a significant portion of injuries are due to referee errors FIFA.
Infantino decided to make money with the help of the sheikhs of Qatar, world Cup spent the winter. And they are facing the consequences right now. The list of injured players in the national teams is made up of many stars, although unnamed players are also injured. Haaland, Vinicius, Gavi, Camavinga, Onana, Rashford, Bastogne, ter Stegen, Oyarzabal and Zaire-Emery have suffered injuries of varying degrees. Young midfielder PSG and the French rookie won’t play until the end of the year. At the same time he will lose his rhythm and could fall from the base of the Parisian club.
Also, don’t forget that Neymar recently suffered the most serious injury of his career. He was actively preparing for the World Championships, which later influenced him. This is just the chapter FIFA accustomed to so many corpses, which, by the way, are on his conscience. Workers in Qatar have died due to rush and lack of civilized workplace safety standards. A person who has gone through the stage of communication with conscience and placed himself above the battle for adequacy, will calmly do stupid things, regardless of the risk to the health of footballers.
Will Gavi miss 8 months? Infantino doesn’t care. We also see minutes added nuclear submarinethe head umpire, Webb, played along with the people of FIFA. But it’s not the managers who get injured, but the players.
The reforms would help save the health of players
There is nothing to scare officials FIFA AND of UEFA stronger than normal reforms. They benefit from chaos. Self VAR implemented ten years earlier, when technology already allowed it, they could now have a new generation of referees with a very low percentage of incorrect decisions. But no, it was necessary to delay, because Blatter and Platini had not yet put all the money in their pockets. As a result, we see chaos at all levels, from finance to the treatment of players.
Real Madrid, the biggest club of the last decade based on Champions League victories, recently fired its doctor, because in Madrid there is an avalanche of injuries. Perhaps Belgian attacking midfielder Hazard and now Turkish newcomer Guler have been treated incorrectly. Who works as a social doctor? The coaching staff is often relatives or friends of the mentor. Perhaps even club doctors are not the best specialists, but simply acquaintances.
A strong surgeon will save lives, not check football players’ legs. By the way, even among high-level trainers there are many lay people in physiology and psychology, not to mention applied medicine. Maybe there are exercises that paralyze. Only now are the best doctors raising the question of the effect of exercise in the gym on the number of injuries. Don’t look at Ronaldo, nature rewarded him. But Mudrik at Chelsea is overworked in the gym, which affects his injury rate.
We need a comprehensive reform of football medicine, through the licensing of doctors and reform of the calendar. There is neither one nor the other, we just see an avalanche of new injuries.
A major footballers’ strike awaits us
This did not happen, we are not used to this, as athletes generally follow orders well. For example, Jadon Sancho didn’t do anything criminal, but Ten Hag kicked him out of Manchester United’s first team because he demanded an apology. Most often, players ask for forgiveness and are returned to the team. Players are also often punished and coaches often simply ignore those left on the bench. If we talk about interaction, athletes are schoolchildren who are given orders.
But this can’t go on forever. The new Champions League format includes additional matches. Expansion of the number of participants world Cup-2026, and the tournament will be held in three major countries: Canada, Mexico and United States of America, this means additional loads, flights and acclimatization for hundreds of footballers. Finally, Infantino fights Ceferin. The result will be a true world club championship, in which 32 teams will play. Furthermore, footballers from the most famous clubs and national teams are often exploited.
It is clear that you always need to look for a way to get rid of stupid sparring, so the League of Nations turned out to be a great invention. Here is the selection world Cup in South America, where 7 out of 10 teams can now advance, or moving the selections for Euro 2024 to the autumn are more controversial ideas than the officials. They present to football players the fact that if they suffer a serious injury they have to risk their health and their entire career, because in Switzerland they want to earn even more.
Why does the whole world feed the employees of a rural town? This is the question players and coaches will ask themselves. Klopp and Guardiola will easily be able to lead the players’ attack.
