The head coaches of Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United commented on the fact that the English Premier League has refused to use five substitutions, which is allowed in most other leagues on the continent, as well as in European competitions.
Josep Guardiola, Manchester City: “It has nothing to do with the advantage of certain teams. It’s about why we’re here, players, forget about the advantage. When footballers play every three days, they start to suffer. Why is it possible in all leagues (making five substitutions – approx.), But we can’t protect the players? The statistics speak for themselves. Players do not recover from a previous game, not even from last season. It does not make any sense. Who voted for such decisions? Who are they? Whoever he is, he has to protect the players. “
Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool: “The question of the five replacements should be on the agenda again, but I don’t think this is possible due to the current system. Obviously it doesn’t help anyone when Chelsea have injuries like City, Liverpool, United, Tottenham, Arsenal and Leicester, and the rest of the clubs don’t. sufficient voting rights. This is the system. “
Ule Gunnar Sulsher, Manchester United: “Did I support the introduction of 5 substitutions in the Premier League? 100%. I don’t understand why the clubs voted against it, I can’t believe it, we have to watch the players. You have to think about them. This is the most difficult season ever. I can’t even understand the meaning of the clubs’ refusal of this rule. But, taking this step back, it is necessary to think about professional footballers, about their physical and mental health. The only sensible solution is to give ourselves more rest. Already many in the Premier League have been injured. I would like to have five replacements. “
Recall that in the Premier League it was allowed to make five substitutions after the resumption of the 2019/20 championship after the coronavirus pause. In the 2020/21 season, this rule was canceled.
