00:00I think he's right about the strike on footballers.
00:05I think there's a lot of matches.
00:07He's talking about the amount of matches.
00:09200 players are involved in this issue.
00:12But I'm talking about the 40,000 remaining professional players
00:16and the 2,000 remaining clubs.
00:20Well, if this strike is to solve the issue of the calendars,
00:27but not to remove clubs from the national leagues,
00:31but to improve the dates,
00:37then something has to happen.
00:41We'll go to the legal channels that correspond,
00:44but without the players' union.
00:46I mean, to go on strike for this concept,
00:49which we've already discussed with them,
00:51it's a problem of the over-saturation of matches
00:54of 70, 80, 100 players.
00:57It's a much bigger problem.
00:59It's affecting the whole industry.
01:01The players who don't compete with European or world champions,
01:04if this criteria is followed,
01:06they're going to have less income,
01:08clubs are going to disappear.
01:10That's where we are and we'll be fighting.
