Kylian Mbappe agrees with Jurgen Klopp on a critical point amid Liverpool transfer whispers

Kylian Mbappe has agreed with Jurgen Klopp’s belief of footballers being involved in too many matches each season.

KloppĀ has been a continued critic of the modern demands placed on players, whom he believes are being worked into the ground by having to take part in an ever-increasing list of international and domestic fixtures.

The development of the UEFA Nations League and next season’s expandedĀ Champions LeagueĀ format have done little to ease this issue, instead only adding more games to the calendar, and the Liverpool boss has raised concerns on multiple occasions over the impact this is having as regards injuries.

Speaking in January 2020 about this topic, the German said: ā€œI told what I had to say to UEFA personally, I told FIFA sometimes in interviews because I donā€™t know anyone there and I donā€™t think theĀ Premier League, FA or Football League are in any doubt of my opinion. I just do that not because of me but because I think someone has to speak for the players.

ā€œThe boys last night [in the 2-0 win over Sheffield United] ran 13 kilometresā€”13 kilometres to win a Premier League gameā€”and I cannot tell them ā€˜come on, try to run 11km so you will be fine for the next gameā€™.”

“Weā€™re approaching the NBA model of 70-game seasons,ā€ the Paris Saint-Germain star toldĀ GQ. ā€œPersonally, Iā€™m not against playing that many matches, but we wonā€™t be able to be good every time and give the public the spectacle they expect.ā€

This candid admission from one of footballā€™s brightest stars underscores the dilemma of maintaining high performance amidst an increasingly demanding schedule.

More News:  Liverpool may have found a successor for Mohamed Salah, according to Harvey Elliott.

ā€œI donā€™t want to preach, but we need to think together about how to offer the best possible solution so that players, spectators, and footballā€™s governing bodies can all embrace it.”

Touching on the topic of his future in the French capital, amid links to Liverpool and Real Madrid, Mbappe added: ā€œMany great players who have shaped the history of football have left Europe this summer and we are entering a new era.

Itā€™s become part of the cycle of this sport and at some point it will be my turn to leave. Iā€™m not worried about these changes. Iā€™m simply thinking about continuing my career and following my own path.ā€
