Casagrande: Rodri is right: the greed of UEFA and FIFA will end football

The greed for money has taken over world football. There is no leader of federations or confederations who care about the physical integrity of football players. And, in my opinion, all this is stupid, because they put the main characters in danger, who could be injured before or during the World Cup, in danger of not even participating .

But does this worry FIFA or UEFA? Of course not, because all sponsorships are sold for a very high price long before these events take place. Therefore, whether the players play or not, it doesn’t matter to these institutions, because the money has already come in.

For the owners of football, real fans and football fans scratch, because, for them, the important thing is to create more and more competitions to make more money. Without holidays, the risk of injuries increases significantly, the psychological and physical exhaustion is huge, and the great players arrive at the World Cup tired of training, travel, games, pressure to win, demands, and they will not be able to offer theirs. best in the most important football competition.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri, one of this year’s Ballon d’Or favourites, gave an interview saying: “We, the players, could go on strike soon. This speech began to echo, and other players from different tournaments followed the same speech as the Spaniard. Days after the statement, Rodri tore his knee ligament during a match for the English club.

In addition, two of the most important coaches support this decision with European players: Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid) and Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), who puts a lot of emphasis on these shows.

If the players do not come together, football will reduce its technical quality significantly, as well as serious injuries that will occur much more often, which is already happening. An important thing that needs to be clarified is that in those meetings where it is decided to increase games and create competitions, no active player participates to give their opinions. Whoever decides all this to stay in a box, with air conditioning, drinking wine and / or champagne, while the players play their umpteenth game of the year.
