I know the reason why (💰), but this particular international break is stupid.
By all means get a group of selected internationals together for a week to regroup and bond before an international tournament, maybe even play a behind doors friendly, but 2 ‘big’ fixtures and essentially a month break is stupid.
They’ll have warm up friendlies after the season finishes and before the Euros, where you might get a high level of effort from players who are somewhat on the fringes, but now absolutely no one is going to over exert themselves and it shows in the quality.
On top of that, the amount of clubs seasons that have been derailed due to injuries picked up in this final break is costing clubs millions and managers jobs. If I’m at City, I’m fuming that Walker has picked something up in such a useless game.
I think Wenger said it years ago, but it’s like someone borrowing your car and returning it broken.
Pointless.
But PL fans love winter games and high intensity running lol. Make up your mind. Let players rest like other leagues and run less to actually play football more.
It’s football not running marathon.
Absolutely. One game every day. FFS. Corrupted and cash flowing
