Son Heung-min "The game schedule is tight...Players exposed to risk of injury"

Tottenham's Son Heung-min also voiced his opinion amid the possibility of a strike by players due to excessive game schedules in the European soccer community.

At a press conference ahead of the first leg of the Europa League away game, Son said players are not robots, but that they need to manage their conditions and reduce the number of games to perform better.

He then pointed out that there is little time to recover due to the high schedule and movement of the game, but the risk of injury clearly increases if you play without being mentally and physically prepared.

Earlier, Manchester City Rodri raised the issue that the game schedule increased due to the increase in various competitions, and a few days later, he injured his knee during the game and was in danger of ending the season.

Let's listen to Son Heung-min's words.

[Son Heung-min / Tottenham striker/captain: In the case of Manchester City, we played on Sunday and then again on Tuesday. We could have flexibly moved the game to Wednesday instead of Tuesday. There is no such flexibility. That's what the players are saying. All players are injured or at risk of injury. It's not fair.]
