Simon doesn't understand that players run double the kms per game than they did many decades ago. I'd happily see all non competitive international fixtures cancelled forever, no international breaks, finish the season early or start it later, easy fix.
Lol the "other Martin" 😅
The game is quicker because they are fitter because of the training facilities available to them and the Science involve now.
Bosman ruling!!!!
I have to wonder if van Dijk’s other half has been in his ear…
I really feel sorry for footballers today
Over worked
Under paid
Can’t find a decent woman to sleep with
Your de France lads don't complain, Kenyan marathon runners don't complain… They are all paid way less and work a lot more.
Hockey players play over 80 games, basketball players play over 80 games. Stop complaining about the conditions of being a multi millionaire. You dont have to do it. Its your choice as with any job and as with any job there are conditions and requirements you must adhere to if you want to keep that job.
I’m getting a bit tired from working 5 days a week. I want to drop down to 2, and get paid the same
Nowadays even when VVD plays it looks as if he is not aware and goes missing which effectively means he is already playing lesser games
Try playing tennis for a living
Yes Virgil, but your manager wants to replay dodgy VAR decisions.
They have such a tough life don't they …………..
All PL footballers should say ' thanks for this amazing lifestyle and hideoous amounts of money I get'….
He may be partly right. The very high work rate and tempo demanded of managers like klopp might be unsustainable. So therefore klopp either rests him or slows his football down. Guardiola gets away with it because of the amount of possession city have
Simon Jordan is very charming and articulate who must be great company in his local pub. But any professional sports person CANNOT beat biology and the laws of physics. There are limits to what the fittest of the fit can achieve and rest and recuperation are every bit as vital as diet, training and game time. Talk to any physio or who takes weight training seriously (without the steroids). More exercise or more games time does not equal greater fitness. Eating extra food doesn't instantly transfer into extra energy nor muscle. There is a whole science to recuperation time and peak fitness that anyone can read up about that is a very real and proven phenomenon. But Simon Jordan is a businessman and he's been indoctrinated to believe that the body is a machine that can go indefinitely as long as it's fed and watered at the right time, and why a workforce (like a sports team) can produce a lot more productivity than it does.
Dont look to football fans for compassion van dyk. Their attitude is They own you. Even Gladiators need a break.
Teams in laliga, Play for 3 or 2 competition same as in bundesliga and Italy and France
In EPL teams play for 4or 3 minimum competition
Add the euro competition for players from EPL.
I agree with Virgil van Dijk.
When a player decides to withdraw from his national team involvement, he is bashed out with you same media. Like Ryan Gravenberch did.
Nonsense media discussion.
Jurgen Klopp had complained of the same last year
I find it incredibly stupid when the counter argument for games being too much is reduce their salaries. Does being paid well mean they are super human? There is certain level of physical stress that no amount of money can compensate for. They are human beings after all. Every other sport gets a lengthy break. These guys are playing almost every 3 days and get 1 month break in a year.
