PARIS: The FIFA expanded club World Cup, which is going on in the United States this weekend, has a controversial increase in the global football calendar and may have a far -reaching impact on the game in the coming years.
The offer of 32 teams has already been added to the overload schedule, with a billion dollars in the offer, which causes fears that will push the elite players to the breaking point.
It also threatens to disturb the balance of domestic and continental club competitions, which gives competitive teams more financial benefits than rivals. Consider the leading clubs of Europe, which are sending 12 teams, including the Champions League winner Paris St. German, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea.
There are more chances that some clubs will go deep into the World Cup, with at least seven games will be played by the finals of July 13. The wealth at the offer is unusual, which is a potential million for a high -performing European team to 125 million.
“The club World Cup model affects the environmental system of the national leagues, especially in Europe,” Jevir Tibbas, the president of Spain’s La Liga, told Radio Station Kadina Coop, “but when Liverpool and Barcelona’s choice will not be in the United States, they will lose much of cash prizes.
England manager Thomas Tucil asked about the results of the Premier League, “I think it will have a huge impact and this will benefit Liverpool and weapons next season.”
– Enhanced money-
They are among the most rich in the world without keeping these money through the club FIFA, but what will happen to the teams elsewhere.
In South Africa, it will be difficult to challenge the Mammudi Sundown for clubs when they go with a guarantee of at least $ 10 million – equal to the reward amount to win nine domestic titles.
Auckland City amateur people already dominate Oceania before it is paid more than 3.5 million millions as an apparent fee.
But if taking part here may be the final of the career for their players, it increases the demands of those in the high clubs.
The competition was introduced with the opposition in Europe, and the Global Players Union Fafaro has warned that the welfare of many of its members is at risk of their huge work.
– A lot of games? – from.
Portugal’s midfielder Vitinha has played 52 matches for PSG this season, including the Champions League final win against Inter -Milan on May 31.
There have been eight games for Portugal, including the final of the Nations League last week. Now he has left for the United States with PSG, with no holiday by mid -July. Then the next French season begins in mid -August, like the Premier League and La Liga.
And at the end of the next season, Vitinha should return to the World Cup of 48 teams with Portugal in North America. Such demands regarding well -known stars are why player unions in Europe last year increased the risk of strike process to reduce the number of matches.
“The problem is a combination of excessive and severe seasons,” said Moulango, chief executive of England’s Professional Footballers Association.
“Players don’t just think about summer, they think about it they will not have a holiday in the future.” Meanwhile, the domestic league does not see why it should change to adjust FIFA’s new tournament.
“International organizations, and especially FIFA, have increased the number of matches that they organize, so now we have a calendar that is beyond saturated,” said Matthew Morriel of the Premier League.
Other competitions are being appreciated as the club World Cup is taking place right now, as is being played in the Konkak Gold Cup, the United States. USA coach Mauritiyu Pocitino is unable to demand prominent players such as Westin McCain and Timothy Whee because he is in the Club World Cup with Jonets.
“This is the situation we have and we need to adopt,” the former PSG coach, who is currently in charge of the French team, cannot agree with the idea of Louis Enrique.
