Head coach of Liverpool Jürgen Klopp admitted that he was very unhappy with the Premier League next season’s schedule due to the impact of the World Cup on the conditions of the players.
The most prestigious football tournament is traditionally held in the summer months, but this year it will take place in November and December due to the weather in the host country, Qatar, where the summer is too hot.
For the first time in the 92-year history of the World Cup, the competition takes place in the middle of the European national season and will ensure that the Premier League, along with other major world championships, will be suspended for six weeks.
If all players have a break, that’s okay, that’s fine. It’s like the winter break I took in Germany. The problem is the players who play the World Cup, it is not normal, but it was solved a long time ago. When I start talking about it, I get very angry. My problem is that while everyone knows it’s wrong, nobody talks about it often enough to make a difference. Something has to change. You can’t stop looking at top-notch players and say, “Oh my God, they’re great.”
It’s like the weather. We all know it has to change, but no one tells us what we should do. Why don’t we talk about it and set the calendar properly? Ladies and gentlemen, FIFAPremier League, F., start talking to each other. This World Cup will take place at a very inopportune time. There should be a meeting where everyone will talk to each other and the only topic should be the most important part of this game: the players.
