Rummenigge Blames Players for Increasing Football Overload

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge argues that players' demands for higher salaries contribute to the growing number of matches.

  • Rummenigge claims that players and their agents are partly responsible for the increased workload in football by demanding higher wages.
  • He suggests that clubs are forced to schedule more matches to generate the necessary revenue to meet these demands.
  • Rummenigge calls for all parties to discuss solutions for a more sustainable and rational approach to football economics.
  • The upcoming Club World Cup, which Rummenigge supports, has faced criticism for adding to the congested football calendar.
  • European champion Rodri recently mentioned the possibility of a player strike due to the overwhelming match schedule.
