Jurgen Klopp has expressed strong opposition to the newly expanded Club World Cup, deeming it the "worst idea ever implemented in football." He argues that the tournament places undue pressure on players, leading to health concerns due to lack of recovery time. Klopp reflects on Liverpool's previous win in the tournament's former, slimmer format and highlights the disparity in rest among players, particularly noting that athletes in leagues like the NBA receive ample recovery time compared to footballers. His comments underscore a growing concern over player welfare amidst an increasingly packed schedule.
