— It is impossible to show good quality of play when you are tired. There were never so many games before. Look what they are doing to football players now! They didn’t just start making a fuss somewhere – the World and European Championships, the World Club Championship. You’re going to Saudi Arabia for the Super Bowl. Previously, in Italy there were pauses at Christmas, but now there are none,” Shalimov said on the air of the “Everyone for the Match!” program. on the Match TV channel.
