00:06I think that, physically, the players are more prepared, but they also have more casting and the matches are much more intense.

00:14And, even if we are the protagonists, we have a very, very small role in terms of the relationship,

00:22in what is decided, which tournaments are played, how many matches per tournament.

00:27And I think that should be a joint work, also listening to the players, beyond the players, of course,

00:41in all FIFA dates, whether World Cups, whether Club World Cup.

00:46And, well, in the end, the body reaches a point where it says enough, that there are a lot of injuries,

00:51that the players lose it, but no one looks for the player.

00:55And I think that if they decide to go on strike, they will have to go, because it is the only way to be heard,
