Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expresses his frustration with modern footballers who demand higher wages yet complain about the demanding game schedule. He suggests players have gotten trapped in a cycle where their salary expectations force clubs to take on more games to generate revenue. Rummenigge, contrasting his era's tougher conditions with current players' experiences, doubts a mutually beneficial solution can ever be reached. He emphasizes the complexities surrounding player salaries and game logistics, which continue to impact the sport's financial landscape.
"I think that players have trapped themselves, asking for more and more money. That money, in one way or another, must be earned by the clubs, by playing more games, which are required by the TV market."
"But if every year the players ask for more wages and the agents ask for money even to have a chat every now and then, which club is still able to earn money?"
