36 teams now compete in UEFA’s top club tournament, adding two more games to a group stage that ends at the end of January rather than in mid-December.
Former Reds manager Jurgen Klopp was generally the one to voice the complaints about an overly full schedule, but Alisson has picked up the mantle and stated the players are “tired” of the never-ending schedule, reports The Herald
“It’s fantastic for the supporters. Ahead of the match against AC Milan at the San Siro, he declared, “More games, more bigger games, big teams against each other.”
“Perhaps our perspective is irrelevant since no one ever asks the players what they think about introducing new games.
However, everyone is aware of our thoughts of adding new games. Everyone has had enough of that.
However, we must set such kinds of things aside and maintain our attention on this significant task at hand.
We’re not naive. We know that fans want more games but the sensible thing to do would be for everyone I mentioned, including the calendar creators, to come together and listen to everyone’s opinions, including the players’.
“I believe a lot of guys have previously discussed that. All we ask is to be heard. We want to come together and discuss the path that football is thinking about taking, rather than just adding more games, competitions, and other things.
