Jurgen Klopp has long been on a crusade against the world soccer calendar. The Liverpool boss sees tournaments being stretched and lengthened, new ones being created and players being subjected to an endless burden, at the risk that in most cases it is paid for by the clubs. Players who are injured, fatigued or who in the middle of the season leave to play for their national teams and miss games with their teams.
"There is only one direction this is going and that is against the wall. There is no one really speaking up for the players. When you talk about the lack of breaks for the players, Aleksander Ceferin comes out of a corner and makes a controversial statement so that other people have to work a lot harder. I know, Mr. Ceferin doesn't have to tell me that," Klopp explained in an interview in Kicker.

Klopp demands respect for the footballers, they are the protagonists of everything and are not counted on for anything. "I don't want to offend anyone, just point out again that this game doesn't work without the players and it's only really enjoyable when the best players are on the pitch," he said.
Klopp complains because with games every three days he has no time to train. "New tournaments are always being invented. Now we are expanding the World Cup so that other teams can also participate. We are making it bigger, unbelievable. If I'm the only one saying something, so be it. I don't care. I can't be friends with everyone," he complained.
The German coach has spoken about the situation of Barcelona. He does not agree with the things he is seeing, although he recognizes that he is not an expert in numbers: “I don't understand it for several reasons. One of them is that I am not a financial professional. The second is if you tell me I have no money, then I don't spend anything. The only club I know of that sold the stadium and other rights up front was Borussia Dortmund..." said Klopp about his Borussia Dortmund experience.
