Man City's Pep Guardiola calls for player strike

Overloaded fixture schedules and a growing number of matches is a problem that is being talked about more and more by those involved in football.
Raphael Varane, who retired from international football after the 2022 World Cup, was one of the first players to speak out publicly against the excessive number of matches football players have to play these days.
This situation, which is also criticised by Pep Guardiola, tends to cause more and more physical injuries to players, but also affects their mental health.
In an interview with 'The Athletic', the Manchester City manager spoke at length about the subject and proposed a radical solution to make life easier for the players. "There is only one solution to change something, maybe if all the players decide for themselves to say, 'Stop', then you have to change something," Guardiola said. "And then FIFA, UEFA will maybe react a little bit," he concluded.
