Pep Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sport UK, revealed that Juventus has asked the FIGC for the possibility of starting next season later as they will be involved in the Club World Cup. Here are his words taken from TuttoJuve.com: “All the coaches they put themselves in the front row and ask themselves: what can I do better? In Turin we had four youth players and two who couldn’t play, Kovačić and Foden, if guys like that plus Savigno. Matheus Nunes and in the last few months it has happened very often. For one or two games it would be sustainable but in the long term… People like Gundogan, Bernardo, Ehrling have a lot of minutes in their legs and necessarily at the moment when the performances simply drop a little. Why do they want it? No. Because they’re not capable, they’re not ready? No. Of course they want it but they’re human beings Florida among the golf courses golf to play the world championship. Juventus asked the federation to start two weeks later than expected because of the World Cup, the Italian federation said: yes because you will be there to represent your country at the World Cup.
We asked the same thing of the Premier League who said no, no, three weeks and you have to be back on the pitch for the start of the season, but it’s impossible. They defend their business and I defend mine, I defend my business represented by my players. My success is thanks to my players and I want to protect them, take care of them these players have had the greatest success ever in this country, these guys have done what no other team has ever managed to do. These players! And they would have done it again, they can’t because they aren’t there and for what? Because of the calendar. They should allow the English teams, like us, Chelsea, who are going to the World Cup to have more time to start later and recover the players, otherwise do you know what will happen next season? We should have squads of 25 or 30 players, therefore more lawsuits in the dressing room and difficulty for the clubs to cover the costs because they will have to pay more salaries. It will become unsustainable for the clubs, it will be a problem for us and for all the clubs, because it is happening to us, but next year it will happen to the others too.”
