Klopp Blasts Club World Cup Over Player Burnout

Jurgen Klopp, now Red Bull’s global soccer chief, didn’t hold back after Salzburg’s early Club World Cup exit. The former Reds boss called FIFA’s expanded tournament the “worst idea ever,” slamming the jam-packed schedule and brutal conditions. With matches delayed for heat and players skipping warmups, Klopp fears a wave of injuries next season. He’s long championed player welfare, and this latest fixture pile-up has him—and plenty of fans—seriously worried. Is FIFA listening, or are we headed for a breaking point? #Klopp #ClubWorldCup #PlayerWelfare #Sports #Soccer
