How footballers' strike can be avoided - Fan
According to Moses Adedokun, a football fan, footballers going on strike are wrong as they earn millions weekly, unlike healthcare workers who save lives.
However, he stressed that the football governing bodies (FIFA, UEFA) should also be blamed for changing the format of some competitions without establishing adequate conditions for these players.
"Its simple, extend the numbers of players that can play in a certain tournament, this will ease the pressure on coaches and the players. We want to enjoy the game of football and its important players are in good condition to play," he said.
