Football players do not take this league seriously. They are not unfair. They have completed an intense match schedule all year. Now they are playing in a tournament with low prestige. It would not be right to expect them to maintain their concentration in such a tournament. I think UEFA should do something urgently to increase the prestige of this tournament.
The only thing UEFA is doing is maximizing the number of games and creating crap tournaments of all kinds. They do this because of the struggle with the Super League, which can arise at any moment so they try to saturate the calendar as much as possible so that the clubs and players do not have the strength and time to participate in an alternative tournament. But it seems to me that it has already begun to play against them. Nobody takes these crap tournaments seriously and soon even the World Championship will have the same status as in hockey.
