Only money is important to UEFA, not players! The harsh words of the star circled the world – Other – Football – Sports

The Belgians entered the final tournament of the League of Nations as the leader of the ranking of the International Football Federation (FIFA), but after losing to the French (2: 3) and the Italians (1: 2) they took the unpopular fourth place.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was frustrated not only by two close losses, but also by something else.

“I will be honest. We only play for the third place in the League of Nations for money, but not for ours.

In addition, the European Football Union has the money for it, because it will get attractive matches on television, “the 29-year-old Belgian goalkeeper told Sky Sports, and his words were brought by several world media.

“I admit that playing against Italy is important for us, but the coaches should not change the line-up completely. If we got to the finals, we would definitely start in a different composition, “added Courtois.

Two of the three biggest Belgian stars, Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, did not even make it to the roster of the match against Italy due to muscle problems, Kevin de Bruyne started after an hour of play.

“It just shows how many matches we play. Next year we have the world championships in November and December, we will end the season sometime in late June and we will start another shortly after that.

With such a deployment, we are then more prone to injuries. UEFA people can only speak when someone comes up with a Superliga project. Otherwise, they only take care of their pockets, “Courtois confirmed.

Real Madrid goalkeeper claims that two weeks off after almost 12 months of racing at the top league and national team level is very low for footballers from top clubs.

“If no one speaks in public, it will still be the same and nothing will change,” the experienced Belgian continued.

In response to criticism, UEFA said:

“It is not true that the League of Nations increases the number of matches at the national level. It is played regularly only in the association dates that are reserved for international matches.

The League of Nations is tasked with providing an added level of national team matches to make them meaningful and attractive at all levels.

Nor is it true that UEFA makes money in this competition. We redistribute all profits from it to the national football associations. This is how we finance and promote football throughout Europe. “

In his “outpouring”, the angry Courtois did not bypass the International Football Federation (FIFA) and its proposal to condense the holding of world championships instead of four every two years.

“If this takes effect, we will no longer have any time off. We will actually play the World or European Championships every year.

The conclusion will be that the best players will still be injured. We are not robots, “added the bronze medalist from the 2018 World Cup.
