Lower the number of minutes in a game to 80 like Perez recommended
Football is all a business ventures now, players welfare aren't priotize and players too don't play for the passion of the game again, it's all about money and money. In the next 5-10 years football will be ruin
These teams have 25 players but only play 15 of them. The same players start every game no matter what. And these players roll around and moan. If you are really hurt then let the ref know, but if you are not just get up and play on. There is too much time wasting and moaning. I've seen a player fall to the floor, and his teammates would run and surround the ref instead of seeing if the player is actually hurt. That tells you everything.
Incredible the amount of whinging these people do
Give us 50k a week and we’ll play even more games for longer time
Regardless of how much there paid there only human. Respect Varane. Mental health awareness.
ITS THE MANAGERS FAULTS, A CLUB DOESNT JUST CONSIST OF ITS COACHES FAVOURITE MATCHDAY SQUAD. BET VARANE AINT CHATTING THIS ‘WAFFLE’ WHEN HE GETS TOLD BY HIS MANAGER THAT HE WONT BE IN THE SQUAD FOR A FINAL OR BIG GAME AGAINGST A RIVAL🤨, I FEEL FOR THE SQUAD PLAYERS WHO DONT GET A CHANCE N DONT EARN A PORTION OF WHAT ALOTVE THE PRIMA DONNA’s R EARNING N FAME GAINING!
You suckers love rules
Obey
Naa we play ball everyday.
Pure foolishness from Varane and Pep…its simple- if players don't try to get an unfair advantage by time wasting then the Match Officials will not have a reason to add more extra time.
Hey Rafa, how about express your concern to your captain Bruno and tell him to stop playacting / feigning injury every game, and you might just finish matches after 95mins. Otherwise, be prepared to play 120mins each week!
Player make a lot of money and they have a lot of power. If they are really concerned about fixture congestion and extra games and tournaments, they can boycott them. If its one thing people hate to lose, its money. This is why the FA and FIFA dont listen to them, because despite what they say and type, they still turn up to play every game and every tournament etc
Repent and rejoice in Lord Jesus God bless you all
Getting paid some much money and and still complaining
I agree with him
this guy is so soft… wouldn't last a day working a 40 hr week at normal salary
its fair enough, man united played the most games out of any club in europe last season and didnt have the squad depth to give the fans confidence that we can win games without key players. If hes at city he probably wouldnt be complaining because theres 4 other good defenders he can rotate with. Especially for an injury prone player I can understand his perspective but man united last season was an edge case.
This is the FA's little moment in the spotlight where they feel inclined to make useful changes (at least for them). They'll get attention for a short while until we soon forget about them and focus on the beautiful game 💙
Well if players played the game rather then keep the ball out of play for a third of the game this wouldn’t be the case
He has a point tho.. they are just doing their Job, health and safety officers are quiet on this??
The league keeps on making the sport worse every year. I haven’t watched a whole game since VAR was thrown in, and for every year and season I drift further away from my team.
They do this for money..betting purposes
They were paid with a 6-figure salary weekly (yeah, weekly, what they can get in a week is more than what we can get in a year, or maybe even 5 years) & they complained about dangerous schedule?
For 300k a week in wages, not including all year around spouncers, I think your opinion should be kept to yourself.
As a united fan, listening to rashford complain about playing 63 games last year when he only played 90 minutes 26 times is a joke.
Varane who's injury time of the pitch is a joke
These 2 players alone should be putting their heads under the blanket with this subject.
Shorten the time for each half to 30mins. Games will be much faster with the teams scrambling to score a goal in less time.
The millionaires won't be as tired going into the next game. No? Okay.
Sorry, but I express concern about the amount of money these players get!
Trying to stop the cheaters who waste time the whole game.
To be the most attractive football league in the world, top players and top coaches are needed. Therefore high transfer fees and high coaches/players salaries are requested. To be able to do this football clubs need higher income. Money from TV rights will help increase income. So more matches increase this income. Circle is always round.
Ditto. Sick of football
Eric Cantona was right
Agree with him at this point all teams should have at least 44 players in their roster that means 4 eleven starting lineups. It’s insane that the amount of games the players will have to play and FIFA is still trying to add more games to an already bloated calendar.
Cry me a river.
And thats why you get stupid wages, its your job. Deal with it
I suggest that they should stop the time instead of making the game longer. If there is an injury during the game. Stop the time and resume when cleared.
Shut up ye clown you earn 300k a week I don’t want to hear it.. I’ll play twice a day 3 times a week for that money
youre getting paid well enough,
I would happily swap my 5 days a week,12 hour shifts at £480 a week job for your job and earn millions a year
ROBOTS ROBOTS ROBOTS , DON'T TALK , JUST LISTEN.
It will still remain 90minutes minus time wasted by players especially Emi. Martinez.
Players have been robbing the fans because they pay for 90min
Stop wasting time then! Im all for it. It will stop all the play acting.
80k+ a week and your concerned about welfare..an extra 10 minute on the pitch won't do no harm
Adding more stoppage time is not the answer. It would be better to dish out more yellow cards for time wasting tactics
teams in champions league will be more fatigued, this will bring forth new prem contenders who arent in uefa comps, more excitement more money for FA. absolutely unreal what they are doing.
This is why I support Clubs forming their own leagues.
The emotion part is a joke, footballers are bloody humans not fycking robots
They don't care about football. They care about money. Greed kills.
There’s 162 games in a single baseball season, not including the postseason if you advance. Truthfully don’t care at all about this and doesn’t have a point to me as far as I’m concerned and I’m a ManU fan. Some players are conditioned better than others and Varane has just proven throughout his career he is not one of those players. You’re either fit and available and can manage to play the game time or you can’t. Even Rashford has said there’s too many games but the same goes for him. Not to mention your profession is to play football you chose to do that. So do it. Go to work and work. Everyday just like the rest of us.
Imagine hiding in the bathroom for 3 hours everyday at your 9-5, then complaining when your boss says you have to actually do 8 hours work
Varane is just old and needs to give room for youger players period
