Barcelona striker Raphinha again talked about the FIFA Club World Cup dispute in the United States. Last week, the player criticized the tournament, saying it was “unfair European team athletes to lose their holidays out of obligation.” The Brazilian player detonated the calendar and defended the rest period for the athletes. Raphinha quoted the huge wear and tear throughout the season.
“Day 13 (July) is the final of the World Cup and I have to introduce myself. So if Barcelona were in the World Cup and went to the final, we would stop a week, I don’t know, and already come back to start the season. Guys who are there (in the World Cup) … The season will start when it starts normally. The teams will have a short period of vacation and will go back to a very demanding physical and mentally. GE.
The player also criticized the conditions under which the tournament in the United States is played. “I find it very harmful to the body. It is not wanting vacation. The likelihood of injuries grows by the requirement of World Games. It was games with very high temperatures. It is not vanity, but the body needs rest. We are not robots,” he said.
