"Man City” head coach Josep Guardiola urges European players who are complaining about the overloaded match schedule to stop engaging in pointless chatter and to move towards concrete actions.

"There is only one solution - all footballers must have the courage to say ‘Stop!’ out loud.”

"Then the officials will be forced to make some changes. FIFA and UEFA will have to respond.”

"When there is a break between tournaments, it should be a long one. I always cite the example of the NBA league. They play 80 games over many months, but then basketball players can rest for 3-4 months.”

"Look at the Spanish women’s team, whose players initiated changes. Without J. Guardiola, football will not stop, but the players’ show cannot continue. Everything is in their hands,” the specialist explained.
