The Club World Cup still has its detractors. Four months from the launch of this new competition (June 15-July 13) which will take place in the United States, some championships have still not accepted the idea of an extended calendar. This is for example the case of the Premier League, the most powerful national competition in the world. Its director of the Footall, Tony Scholes, expressed The Telegraph From his health concerns for players but that's not all. According to him, FIFA organized a competition that no one wanted. This is why it will not change the English calendar. “”Why adjust our competition when FIFA imposed a competition with which we do not agree?»Starts the manager.
“”We studied the question. This competition is imposed on us by FIFA … This is an element. But the most important thing is that we just can't. The calendar is tight as much as possible at the moment. And we cannot afford to delay the start of the seasonHe insists. Scholes also slides a tackle to UEFA for its champions League reform, which also increases calendars. “”She added the dams with direct elimination. Manchester City plays two additional games in the group phase, two additional games in direct elimination dams, six or even seven matches in the club World Cup. It is therefore potentially 10 additional matches this year. The calendar is stretched as much as possible. It went too far. We are doing everything as possible for the calendar to be as reasonable as possible in a situation which is not our fact and which is incredibly difficult to manage for us.»»
