In the world of professional soccer, players play two games a week. This is 180 minutes each week, which added to the training, is a lot of physical wear and tear.
Last week we saw several injuries, including serious ones, such as Pablo Gavi’s injury, who tore his ACL, an injury that will mean between 7-8 months without being able to play. We also have Erling Haaland’s ankle injured, Vinicius Junior’s hamstring injury and Eduardo Camabinga’s knee injury. The estimated time of sick leave is 8-10 weeks.
Players and fans agree that FIFA is requiring too many games for top level players. Therefore, several players and coaches have come out at a press conference to complain about the number of games, and why they are played.
These games do not make sense since they are games that are generally very easy for a team because the difference between these teams is so great that it is already known which team is going to win.
The worst injury you can have is a knee injury, specifically the meniscus or ACL injury, these types of injuries change the careers of young stars and potential leaders. This is why players and coaches complain about these games that make no sense and can cause a very promising football career to end up being a failure due to these injuries.
