European football stars are at risk of overdosing!

The world football calendar is, every year, more insane. The Champions League is about to inaugurate a new format with more matches on the clock. And FIFA has pulled out of its hat a Club World Cup that will be added to the program from next June. In short, the stars of the big teams, competing in all competitions, could play more than seventy high-level matches, not to mention matches with their national teams. This is obviously totally disproportionate on a physical level and counterproductive in terms of the quality of the game. How can you ask a player to take on such an outlay of energy without losing power, concentration or motivation? With, in the background, obvious risks of injury. To soften the schedule of its players, Real has already planned individual vacation periods during the season. Unheard of! In reality, modern football is a prisoner of its economic model. To ensure the payroll of their stars, clubs must constantly inflate their revenues and, therefore, play more tournaments. But it is obvious that we have reached excessive levels here, both for the health of the athletes but also for the interest of the televisions. Because, inevitably, the quality of the show will decrease and, tired of the war, the television viewer will go elsewhere to see if the grass is not greener.
