Players, coaches (and fans) always (rightfully) cry about too many matches. So why are there no actual protests? (alien.top)

Whiney interviews won't change anything. But imagine all teams collectively boycotting an entire matchday. They just refuse to play. This would do huge damage to the leagues, UEFA, FIFA etc. And the clubs or associations can't just punish everyone. They rely on the players. Don't the players even have a union? So why is nothing like that happening? The only reason I can think of is that the pain isn't strong enough yet to actually act.

I saw this comparison about the amount of games played by messi, xavi and iniesta by the time they were gavi’s age. And gavi played 80 more than messi, 100 games more than xavi and iniesta only played 15 games by this age.

This makes me think that maybe it’s also the coaches their fault for not letting these young players rest once in a while nowadays.

Because I only used players that played for barca. A team which always played the same competition, the same domestic cups. And always played champions league or europa league. These competitions haven’t changed in amount of games since then right?
