Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

Am I the only person that is thinking that this FIFA club World Cup has taken players resting time? And this might affect some players come next season because some will get injured just as Bayern Munich lost Jamal Musiala on a long time injury. I see some clubs and some Lagend’s complain about it, yet some people think it is right. Everyone is subjected to their respective opinions but in my on point of view, it is not proper at this time when players are suppose to have some rest after a complete season with different competition.

For Real Madrid’s request, it actually deserves to be rejected because they are just like any other team, if they are granted this, some clubs might come up with such requests in the future and it will cause some problems in football in the future.

It is true that players will not have time to rest, but they are been paid to play football since it is their job, therefore, they should endure the little time they will have to rest.

I am of the opinion that after the club World cup games there should be assigned a general time of rest mostly for all the teams that participated in the tournament even up until the finals because that will be the only fair thing to do, theses players will be fatigued and may not be in their best form to giving the best to their various team and so Madrid's request was a valid one because they are a team that may get to the finals so it is important they get some rest just before the season starts because they will have a long run through the season again after that which they have had in the Club World cup tournament.

I think they have enough time to rest, as the first match is against Osasuna on August 19th. That's almost a month. The players can rest during this time. They'll have already come off a long and intense tournament. So, they're in a good state of readiness for the new season right now. They've maintained their fitness and are still playing at a good pace. I think a month of rest will be enough for Real Madrid's players.

Yeah the club world cup would soon be over so there's no excuse for Real Madrid they're not the only team in Europe that participated in the tournament so they should deal with it, if they're not okay or feel the tournament would always affect them against a new season in other tournament then they should appeal to exit the tournament and focus on other ones if they really want to avoid fatigue. The Spanish football body made the right decision cause if they had accepted it would trigger other clubs who participated to do same an cause unnecessary postponing of matches in their various leagues.
