Carlo Ancelotti offered a bold solution to avoid a player strike Real Madrid and throughout Europe.
The subject of a bloated fixture schedule continues to dominate the conversation as the campaign begins to ramp up before the end of 2024.
The potential for some players to make more than 70 competitive appearances before the end of next summer has raised concerns about wellbeing and burnout.
Two extra UEFA Champions League games, plus international breaks in October and November, only added to the potential for overload.
Ancelotti previously hinted at the idea of giving his players unofficial mid-season breaks after the international duty to address the situation.
The Italian was again asked about the situation before the Blancos return to domestic action and stated that the argument of the salaries of the players is not a justification for the excessive tools.
“Repeat what I said the other day, football has to reflect. The objective is to play less to avoid injuries. The players have no problem lowering wages if they play less,” according to reports from Marco.
Numerous top-level players have indicated they are open to further strike action if their concerns are not heeded by UEFA and FIFA.
