Vitinha blasts the fixture schedule 🔥 | OneFootball

Vitinha, a 25-year-old midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke at a press conference about the sequence of matches. Referring to recent statements by Jules Koundé (26 years old), the Portuguese acknowledged that the accumulation of an increasingly dense calendar weighs on both players and coaches.

Vitinha "The truth, and I feel it, is that there are a lot of matches"

Vitinha "We may not be able to play our best football"

The observation made by Vitinha highlights a structural problem of modern football: the hyper-saturation of the calendar. Between Ligue 1, Champions League, international competitions and summer tours, the players of Paris Saint-Germain no longer have real recovery periods.

According to him, this extreme pace reduces the quality of the game and increases the risk of injuries, a phenomenon that is observed every season among the stars of European football.

Behind these words, an implicit criticism of the authorities can be guessed, more attentive to television rights and commercial tours than to the health of the players. By joining Koundé's discourse, Vitinha illustrates the growing discontent of footballers facing a system that ends up harming their performance and the show.
