"Too many games, and now we see players screaming: "We are injured". There are matches every three days and in the summer we have no time to rest. I think the number of matches should be reduced. We should convene all the leagues and tell them that instead of 20 teams, 16 clubs should participate in the competition.
I will ask those in UEFA: why did you create this League of Nations? And I would say the same thing to FIFA with this club World Cup. I understand that they want to generate more revenue, but for the sake of football, I think it would be much better to have fewer matches, but more premium and more exclusive experiences. It would be easier to entertain the public," Footmercato.net quoted Pique as saying.
