Bayern Munich star Harry Kane can look at his Google calendar and see a lot of football these days. While he loves the game, it does make him wonder if the added competitions and games will have a lingering effect on the health of players.
“I don’t think the players are listened to that much, if I’m totally honest. But also everyone wants their piece, their tournament, their prize, and the players are kind of the people who have to get on with it. But it is what it is. I love playing football, so I’m never
going to complain about playing football. I think if you manage it well, with your coaches and your manager and your clubs, there are ways of getting more rest in certain moments,” Kane said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “But it’s not an easy question, it’s not an easy situation. I think there could be a balance from both sides, but we’d have to see how that pans out. Ultimately, it’s hard to pick and choose because every game is important. Playing for Bayern Munich is important. Playing for England is important. Everyone has their goals that they want to achieve and as a player, you have to accept that.”
Kane’s concerns are valid. At some point, players will start to break down. How much is too much? All of us might start to find out soon enough.
