I can’t help but notice how every major team has players who are all sustaining injuries( Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal…) why is there so many injuries today? Are players not getting trained enough or is it because lack of strength? I did not used to see this many injuries in the past. It seems like after a few games there would be 1 or 2 players that would be out for injury for 2 or 3 months.
The number of games is getting ridiculous. Last year Lech Poznań played usual 34 games in league and additional 20 in Europe (UCL Q1, UECL Q2, Q3, play-offs, Group phase, knockout phase play-offs, round of 16 and quarter-finals. You already have more than one game a week on average and I didn’t add Polish Super Cup and Polish Cup. (Plus season is shorter than exactly 52 weeks).
International breaks are put in a very weird way too. We had three of them in 3 months so you have 3-4 weeks of club games and then you have to travel to your country to play another 2-3 games in 2 weeks. Probably the same amount of games as there would be in clubs but travelling isn’t regeneration, especially for South American footballers
