Nasser Al-Khelaïfi takes the opposite view. If football players, and in particular players, regularly annoy more and more infernal calendars and frequencies in recent months, the boss of PSG is not completely of this opinion. In an interview with Bild And Welthe even defended the new version of the Club World Cup, which will see the light of day next summer and will put 32 clubs.
“”I do not agree with the criticisms of the workload. The Club World Cup only takes place every four years with 32 clubs. It is not a new competition, but it replaces the old competition. This tournament is not the cause of workload problems. Look at the NBA: The matches are played every two days. We want to have a greater presence in different markets, especially in the United Statesexplains the boss of the ECA. The Club World Cup is a great opportunity to do so. The players are demanding, so we have to generate more money – we cannot have both things at the same time. The Club World Cup will bring back hundreds of millions of euros to the Bundesliga for example, and as much to participating clubs as to non -participating clubs.»»
