Rafael Leao seems to agree with the notion that footballers today play too many games, a topic that is being widely discussed given the increase in injuries across the board.
Faced with the widespread epidemic of muscle injuries, there is a desire to try and find a root cause and one of the suggestions put forward is that players simply have too demanding a schedule with domestic, European and international football.
This morning, Leao reposted an interview given by Koundé on his Twitter profile. According to the Barcelona centre-back, the workload of the modern player is too much.
“There are too many games. The speed has become more and more intense, this causes too many injuries. The pace at which we are going is becoming more and more dangerous, there are more and more serious injuries. People say we used to play so much. Even if this were true, it doesn’t mean it was right in the past.”
Leao definitely agrees with this line of thinking and too many games with too much intensity leads to too many injuries.
