De Bruyne’s broadside: “Too many games? UEFA and FIFA don’t care. Money speaks”

Kevin DeBruyne lashes out at UEFA and FIFA for too many games played in the season. The Belgium and Manchester City midfielder, speaking at a press conference today, spoke before the match against Israel: “With the Club World Cup next year, there will be three weeks between the final and the start of the Premier League. Three weeks of holidays and preparation… We are approaching 80 games a season.

There are unions, in England and elsewhere, that have tried to change things but it is not possible. UEFA and FIFA continue on this path. Why? They do not care. It is the money that talks”.
