Live broadcast on August 10 News Manchester City midfield roderi talked about the increasingly tight schedule in an interview, and bluntly said that if such intensity was maintained all the time, the players’ bodies would not be able to afford it.
Roderi said: “I don’t remember how many games I played. I talked to the relevant staff of the club and the coach because it was unhealthy. You can do this in one season, but when you do this for two or three consecutive seasons, it may be worse for the team because your physical condition may decline. So I have to pay attention. We have already said that this cannot always be the case.”
“For me, it is important that they understand this situation and know that we must pay attention in the next few seasons,” he added. “Now I’m still young, but maybe when I get to 30 or 31 years old, I can’t do this kind of thing anymore, so I have to pay attention to my body, because for players, playing 60 games in a single season is not the best choice. In addition, the season becomes longer every year. We must adapt to this.”
Influenced by the new season guidelines of the Council of the International Football Association, the Community Shield Cup appeared 11 minutes of replenishment last Sunday. This standard will be used in the Premier League in the new season.
At the end of last year, roderi was often exhausted in the competition. However, he claimed that the adrenaline inspired by the attempt to create history made him survive.
“On the other hand, I have a feeling that we are fighting for everything and I have to push my body to the limit,” he said. “That’s why sometimes I feel bad at the end of the season, but for me, it’s a great experience. Manchester City’s best status appeared in the last few months. Arsenal only participated in one event, while we participated in three events. This reflects the mentality and physical quality. At that moment, I can tell you that I am very, very tired. Perhaps the mind is stronger than the body. We have taken a step, which is what top players have done.”
“To be honest, I never got enough rest. After about a month’s rest, I feel that I have recovered quite well. This is a good rest period. We have a coach who understands the situation and tries our best to make us recover.”
