Thomas Frank, the Brentford coach, has sparked discussion with his comments in a press conference following the match against Chelsea. He addressed the issue of team rest during the season.
“There used to be less rest when League Cup matches were played,” the coach stated. “I didn`t think it was right, and that was the only time I raised the issue. Then there`s a broader discussion about the number of games in a year, but it doesn`t concern us.”
He added, “The issue is more related to teams playing in Europe. Then there`s the Club World Cup, which, in my opinion, is ridiculous. It`s just another tournament. Who wants it? Nobody. I won`t watch it, and I`ll enjoy the summer.”
