Amplia with statements from Leverkusen entrepreneur Xabi Alonso

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany, a Belgian, is limiting the number of games a player can play each year in order to manage the workload.

This time, the Champions League added games and FIFA added 32 teams from the Club World Championship that took place this northern season, when players had to go down.

Big clubs with European commitments and national tournaments could play up to 75 games this season.

“There is a point to play between 75 and 80 parties that is not realistic. The solution is to give a limit to the parties that can contest each player. Put a limit and also a mandatory holiday period,” Kompany said on Press Street, spending the weekend before Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.

These statements by Kompany coincide with those made by the Spanish player of Manchester City Rodri.

“We are looking to live up to it” and “that is a general opinion among footballers,” he added. “If that is the case, we will let the moment not tend towards another option,” he added.

The Spanish coach of Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso, also responded to the topic during the presentation of the Bundesliga game between his team and Wolfsburgo.

“Hearing Rodri and the other footballers. We also need to involve professional players in these decisions because we want to see good football. The calendar is very ready and he is listening,” he said.

Liverpool forward Alisson and Real Madrid forward Thibaut Courtois have made similar statements in recent days.

Kompany was a member of the world football union FIFPro during his playing days, captaining Manchester City and the Belgian national team.

The 38-year-old coach assured that the limit of the games would be “the best” and that “he would put pressure on the clubs”.

In my opinion, this model should “include exceptions for finals because it cannot be done for players.”
