Kevin De Bruyne nets landmark brace as City thrash Crystal Palace

Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne has spoken out against the demanding schedule this season.

The Belgian is worried about the number of games players will participate in this season.

The former Chelsea midfielder specifically criticized FIFA and UEFA for adding more fixtures.

De Bruyne’s Manchester City team is expected to compete on all fronts of competitions lined up by FIFA, UEFA and the English FA this season.

The 33-year-old accused UEFA and FIFA of prioritizing money over player welfare.

He said via Mundo Deportivbo, “Maybe this year everything will be fine, but next year it will be a problem. The PFA in England and players’ associations in other countries have tried to find solutions.

“The problem is that UEFA and FIFA are doing extra matches and we can try to say something, but no solution has been found. They don’t care. Money speaks for them.

“I think the real problem will come when we finish the Club World Cup. We know that between the final of the Club World Cup and the first day of the Premier League only three weeks will pass.

“So we have three weeks off and to get ready to play another 80 games later,” he added (via Mundo Deportivo).
