    Just because there's more money in football, doesn't mean the players should be playing 100 games a season. The fans want to see quality matches that make sense. If you look at Basketball, they play 82 games in a season, players are earning ridiculous amounts of money but majority of games are not as exciting. People only look forward to the playoffs. We don't want football to go down that path. It needs to be managed better and make it more efficient.

I don’t believe players should be forced to go if called up and I think it should be a choice. If players were allowed to pick and choose, the authorities would soon get the message.
      I don’t accept domestically as winning things means playing more games. Domestic cup games have been the same for ages now and they are to be managed. Regarding UCL, it should be champions for the leagues (maybe top two at max) fighting it out. Then we wouldn’t need all these games. But considering this isn’t possible, the teams do have more subs now and should buy more rotation players. It’s up to the club to manage their players and if they can’t, they fail.

    To answer Simons question about how you fix the problem. How about introducing a Working Time Directive, similar to that lorrybdrivers have to adhere to. Encompass that, with a financially fair play based (as best you can) squad?
    A limit on an average amount of 'on pitch' hours per month, and ultimately per season. So then, for example, City might have to loose a top player towards the end of the season of they have overplayed, and over relied on him during the early and mid season?

    Number of games should be viewed in conjunction with recovery available and the demand on the players athletically too. Saying somebody played 100 games 50 years ago doesn't mean shite if the games not the same. Also some players could attend less games that they think are less crucial - such as games they feel their team would win without them. But really, a sports analyst team could do a thorough detailed research project into player welfare with regards to amount of games rather than too many opinions.

    I’m 50/50 with this debate. Virgil Van Dijk being at a top club has to deal with a lot of games, however things like European Nations league, playing teams such as Andorra in qualifiers with all due respect is a waste of time. Matches could be cut down as Virgil is saying by some of these international matches.

    Yeah, people played as many games in the past. They also played only on weekends in the league, very rarely played outside of mainland Europe, tournaments were rarely in places like Qatar, the quality of football was much lower, players spent most of the game passing back to their keeper.
    The game is much, much quicker and it’s moved on massively. Alan Hansen is my favourite CB ever, but do you really think he could play 60 games against Saka or Haaaland these days?
    The problem is meaningless friendlies. Did England really need to play Australia on Friday? Of course not, but it’s money for the FA.
    Virgil is right about the salary too. They get very little of the billions football earns anyway, why should they accept less? There’s no game without them. Why should the FA be raking it in from these meaningless fixtures?

    In 79/80 Arsenal played 70 games. Only 1 sub per game, other than in 9 games in Europe, where two were allowed. In April Arsenal played Liverpool 4 times, Juventus twice, a north London derby plus two other games. Three games against Liverpool went to extra time. On May 1 the decisive game against Liverpool in the FA Cup was played. Pitches were more like a farm yard rather than the billiard tables that they play on now. Upto 5 subs. And the most games you will play is 63. Players were paid hundreds of pounds a week, not the eye boggling hundreds of thousands a week that we have now. Today’s players have every amenity at their beck and call. Not so in the late 70’s. Yes today’s players have social media to deal with, but they could abandon that if they so wished. Is more pressure on players now? Perhaps, but a lot of it is what you are going to attract in other forms of sports or celebrity status. VvD is past his best. Maybe Liverpool should renegotiate his terms to suit his place at Liverpool and the game more widely.

Have pre qualifiers for the smaller nations in the same way they do for the Champions league so you dont get these ridiculous games like San marino who are just going to get used as cannon fodder. But also clubs need to stop dragging teams half way round the world for pointless preseason tours, i get that its a global game but you had a tournament over in America where you had premier league teams playing each other, what is the point of that?
