Kylian Mbappé again spoke to denounce the overloaded calendar imposed on footballers by the authorities. Already critical before the Ukraine-France match (0-2), the Real Madrid striker returned to an untenable pace, during an interview with Anne-Sophie Lapix on M6.
For the captain of the Blues, the players are forced to remain silent on this subject, their privileged status making their complaints difficult to hear for the general public. “No, we are not allowed to complain, because people do not understand that we can complain. But I think it's like that, you have to accept “he explains.
Mbappé, however, insists on the need to give more rest to athletes, even if the number of games remains the same.
“Me, I always fought the fact that we play a lot of matches, but I think that the reflection evolves. What we can fight us are the rest slices is to have a little more rest, may play the same number of games, but have a little more rest ”pleads the former Parisian.
“It's difficult”
The example is speaking: after playing the club World Cup this summer, Real Madrid had to resume training less than three weeks later. “We played the Club World Cup, not even two and a half weeks later, we were already back in training, it's hard to cut for us, it's like the chain of a new season”deplores Mbappé.
Beyond fatigue, the Frenchman fears that the quality of the matches in pasta. “If it continues that way, there will be matches that will be put aside and that's not the goal. The goal is always to entertain people, to give them the best version of ourselves every time, and I think it goes through rest ”he concludes.
