"So many games are good for the team" - Nico Gonzalez not backing possible strike
Now that there is speculation of a strike by the players due to the high load of matches they suffer, there are dissenting voices that see the current calendar well. One of them is Nico Gonzalez, one of Juventus' latest signings, who assures that, for him, “it is great” and that he only needs to “eat well, rest and sleep a lot” to be at 100%.

The Argentine Nico Gonzalez, new player of Juventus, said Thursday that he is in favour of the current calendar, the most loaded to date, since “so many matches are good for the team”.
At a time of maximum tension between players and institutions due to the number of matches per season, Nico Gonzalez dissociated himself from recent statements made by Manchester City's Rodri or Barcelona's Joules Kounde, in which they raised the possibility of a players' strike.
“For us it's great. We are all young players who want to play football and so many games are good for the team. But as the coach, Thiago Motta, says, we have to eat well, rest well and sleep a lot,” Gonzalez said at his official presentation.
However, FIFPro, the worldwide representative of professional footballers, denounced in a report published on September 5th the high workload of footballers - in an excessive schedule that in 2025 will be even more damaging - the increasing intrusion into their private lives and the lack of attention they receive from football's governing bodies.
