FIFA agent Ihor Kryvenko is confident that footballers will not boycott matches due to the tight calendar.
— Footballers will not agree to salary cuts. They are used to being pampered with huge amounts of money. Yes, their injury rate is off the charts. However, most footballers are ready to sell their health for astronomical sums because they understand that from 20 to 35 years old — that is their golden age. I think that it will not come to a boycott, and there will be no mass refusal to play for the national teams. Sooner or later, guys will understand that matches for the national team are also a football showcase. Participation in these matches provides an opportunity to later secure larger contracts with clubs, — quotes Kryvenko Expres.
