Are players playing too much? For Raphaël Varane the answer is yes. Manchester United's French defender has broken his silence over new rules in England and added time, which will get longer this season.
"On the part of coaches and players, we have made our dissatisfaction known for several years that the schedule is too big, which is dangerous for the physical and mental well-being of the players."
The 2018 world champion (30 years old) points to the expansion of the calendar in recent years and the very high level of intensity required of professional players linked to the increase in the number of competitions and the playing time of matches.
