Old Manchester United generals: extra long make-up time will increase the risk of injury to players
Live broadcast on August 13 news the Premier League began to implement the new rules of time supplement in the 23-24 season. The old Manchester United generals Danny Simpson and Danny Weber discussed this topic when talking with the club’s official media.
Danny Simpson: “Now the training and competition of players are already a great burden. If you play in the 75th minute and play 30 minutes, I think it is too long, it will increase the risk of player injury, and I don’t want to see such a situation.”
Danny Weber: “This completely changed the game, especially for fans, you can look at the train timetable between London and Manchester. If the game is played for 25 to 30 minutes more, many fans will miss the last bus. Sunderland made up 6 minutes in the first half and 13 minutes in the second half against Ipswich. This was crazy. Some fans had to leave before the end of the match. If it was 80 minutes, you lost 23 minutes of the game.
“The same is true from the perspective of players. Their muscles will be more tired, and the fatigue in Zhou will accumulate to weekends. Now the top players and top teams have to play 60 games every season. I think football has been influenced by consumerism.”
Carl Anka (TA author): “Manchester United scored a lot of goals in the replacements last season, such as garanjo, and they will get more chances and time to play. But what I want to say is that the referee should better deal with the problem of wasting game time, such as paying more yellow cards instead of making up 10 minutes.”
