Jules Kounde and Kylian Mbappe have once again been vocal about the relentless international match calendar.
💬 Kounde: “It’s not just about the players. I also think about all the people who work around football and who are sometimes victims of this relentless pace. It’s a whole ecosystem.”
“Sometimes in life, when we overdo things, we stop appreciating them. That’s what’s happening with football - it’s overconsumption.”
💬 Mbappe: “From my experience in football, I watch a lot of games, and I don’t remember seeing any player play more than 60 top-level matches.”
“I saw teams returning to training when we were still in the Club World Cup. I don’t want players to get to a point where they’re thinking they don’t want to play certain matches.”
“I don’t know if we’re ready to play a 60-game season. We just need a little more rest.”
The message is clear: without adequate rest, both the game and the players suffer.
