00:00Well, I agree with everything he said. I think the calendar is getting longer every year.

00:10Every year we have more games, less time to rest, and in the end it's not a lack of saying.

00:18I think we've been saying it for three, four, even more years.

00:24No one listens to us, no one listens to the main character, which is us, the players.

00:32The coaches have also said it, no one listens to us.

00:36So yes, there will come a time when we will have to go on strike,

00:41because it is the only way to make our voice understandable for those who decide.

00:49Because in the end, we assume a maximum risk, which I think we are seeing.

00:57There are more and more injuries because there is less time to rest.

01:01And because of how much we prepare, it is true that when you play,

01:06for example, those who are going to play the Club World Cup,

01:14it means again more games, less time to rest, and we are going to reach about 70 games per season,

01:22which is simply crazy.
