Calendar of FC Barcelona

This season goes to be one of the most intense of the history for the footballers. The coronavirus forced to stop the football the past season and the seasons restarted between May and June in a lot of Leagues. This derived in that the Champions League returned to finals of July and finished in August, by what the new campaign began only a month after the final of the League of Champions and of the Europe League.

Up to now, all the teams are having split each three and four days of form asidua, something that causes much more tiredness and, in occasions, injuries. By this reason, the stops of selection are being a very serious problem for all the big clubs of the world, as for example the FC Barcelona. The culés, like other groups, have to allow that more than half of his players go with his countries during more than a week and average.

In these 10 or 12 days, a lot of selections will have to play of two to three meetings. In the case of Spain, for example, the 'Red' will confront to Holland in a friendly this 11 November, to Switzerland the 14 and to Germany the 17. Precisely of this crash between the Spaniards and the Dutch has spoken a barcelonista, Frenkie of Jong. The one of Arkel has complained of the subject of the calendar and of the absurd that it is to program so many parties in so little time.

The midfield player of the Barça criticised that the Federations of the distinct countries organise friendly in which there is not at all at stake, like the Low Countries-Spain, in a moment in which the calendar asks rest and no more minutes in the legs. "The friendly with the Dutch selection were not necessary. They are not split that they give the points or something for a classification", began.

Of Jong criticised the dispute of friendly

The ex of the Ajax defended his argument speaking of the calendar, although it left clear that the footballers, as always, will put everything of his part to win in all the commitments that contest. "All the world knows that the calendar always is busy, but this year is a bit more loaded still. It is a subject that it is necessary to speak, but treat to prepare us the best possible and keep fit us", signalled.

In this sense, Of Jong explained that the fact to having arrived to an agreement for the dispute of this crash before the pandemia has caused that it have to finish playing. Whatever happens, it insisted in that the Dutch will be to 100% to try surpass to Spain. "There was an agreement to celebrate it before the crisis of the coronavirus, so we have to prepare us equally", finalised.
