Akanji's humorous remark about retiring at 30 reflects the mounting stress players face due to a demanding game schedule and lack of adequate breaks.
Akanji expressed concerns about the relentless nature of the fixture schedule, stating, 'It's so tough. You don't just think about this season - but also next season.'
He highlighted the congested schedule by saying, 'If we win the league or cup, then go to the final of the Club World Cup; there are no breaks in winter.'
Akanji's worries resonate with the Professional Footballers' Association, underlining concerns over potential legal action against FIFA regarding the burdensome new Club World Cup.
