Henderson sounds the alarm. The Liverpool captain believes that players are not taken into consideration in compiling calendars and in studying the format of international competitions. His words are echoed by the BBC.
TOUR DE FORCE – Like every end of the year, the reds are expected from a tour de force. A very busy schedule, five games in two weeks, with a squad reduced to a minimum due to injuries and infections. There was an air of possible suspension of the championship, but after the meeting, the Premier League clubs chose to continue playing, despite the surge in Covid-19 cases. And Liverpool have not said no either. “I don’t think people can understand how intense and tiring this sport is if you don’t experience it firsthand. Football for us is everything and we would like to be able to perform at the highest level every time we step onto the pitch. And unfortunately. in this period it is difficult to do it. It has been like this for some years now, then with the arrival of Covid-19 it was even worse. I am seriously convinced that no one cares or takes the well-being of the players seriously. “
I LISTEN – The feeling is that even the players are unable to make themselves heard. “We will try to have some sort of influence in the future, but at the moment I don’t think our category has the respect it deserves. I am well aware of what people think. The players are paid a lot, just to play football, but not. they know that those players who are tied to international and European commitments probably have a maximum of two or three weeks off per year. I’m not sure if it is enough to recover physically and mentally from the previous season but the biggest problem is that there is no communication between ourselves. Probably each of us will have a different opinion, but I think they must be part of a conversation because, in the end, we are the ones who take the field playing the games. ”
