Joan Laporta strongly criticized the FIFA calendar
The president of the famous Catalan club "Barcelona," Joan Laporta, sharply criticized FIFA regarding the international match calendar. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This criticism arose due to the injury of the team's winger Rafinha during a friendly match against France. It is known that the Brazilian player will be unable to play for approximately five weeks.
Laporta openly called this situation a "disgrace" and drew attention to the problem of the congested international football calendar. He emphasized that FIFA should reconsider the calendar, taking into account the interests of players who play for major clubs.
"Rafinha's injury is an absolutely unacceptable incident. One of our team's leading players got injured in a simple friendly match.
This deeply upset us," said the club president. He also stressed that blaming the players is wrong.
"They are professionals and give their all for their countries. The problem lies in the calendar.
Especially during the decisive phase of the season, such a congested schedule causes major problems," said Laporta. According to the club leader, the injury of a key player at a time when "Barcelona" is fighting for high results in all competitions can be a serious obstacle to the team's plans.
This situation once again raised the issue of balancing the football calendar and players' health as a pressing problem. Fans are faced with a simple question: is the result more important or the health of the players?
