Strongly criticized all over the world, the Club World Cup is not a lot of happy, especially among European players, who inflict on unreal rates of meetings all year round. An observation shared by the Brazilian winger of FC Barcelona, Raphinha: “It's complicated for us to have to give up our holidays. We are entitled to it. Everyone deserves at least three weeks or a month of vacation. Many of those who are in the World Cup will not be entitled to it ”he had assured.
A new football player was even further with this new edition of this club world. For the former manager of Liverpool Jürgen Klopp, now in the organization chart of the Red Bull Empire, this competition simply does not have to be. “This is the worst idea never set up in football. I have the fear that players will suffer new injuries next season (…) This year, there is the Club World Cup, and next year, we will have the World Cup. This means that there is no real recovery for the players concerned, neither physically nor mentally ”castigated Jürgen Klopp in an interview with Welt.
Jürgen Klopp dismantles the financial argument
And according to him, the monetary argument – with a possible amount of $ 125 million planned for the winner – is not admissible. “I understand those who say that the money (perceived) to participate is insane. But this is not the case for all clubs (…) An NBA player also earns a lot of money and he has four months of rest per year. Virgil Van Dijk didn't even have that over his entire career. Tournaments like the Club World Cup cannot take place at the expense of players. I don't wish anyone ”he added.
Indeed, the ex-manager passed by Dortmund and Liverpool is concerned about the lack of break for the players each summer. Mentally, as physically, players could be victims of injuries still unpublished, according to him. “It cannot continue like this. We must ensure breaks, because without them, they will not be able to offer optimal long -term performance – and if they can no longer do it, the whole product loses its value for sellers “. A cry of alarm that FIFA is not likely to hear.
