Money is always an unsolvable problem because as long as it generates more money, there will definitely be many ways that will be done, including changing the competition format like this. But on the other hand, regardless of what the real intention is, of course we also have to see the other side where we cannot exploit players to continue to be used as cash cows because in the end they also have a saturation point that is constrained in the professionalism of the work that keeps them going apart from their love for football. Don't let this format benefit the organizers and harm the players because of fatigue due to a fairly tight schedule.
In addition, now we cannot protest the existing decision because in any case the decision made has been agreed upon together and the organizers, clubs, players and everything related already understand the consequences that will occur later.
To be fair when teams are offered more money with a new system, they are likely to accept that. The entire football world runs on money, meaning that if they play a few games more than they used to, and that means more money from TV rights and ticket sales, they will be very happy about it, plus that also means if teams are making more money, they are going to be able to afford to pay players more as well.
Sometimes you just can't depend on inflation and increasing prices to make more money, sometimes you just need to increase the product count, which means more games for football and that's what they did.
I always suggested that every league should have AT LEAST 20 teams, some have 18, that's wrong, adding some more teams to make it 20 means 19 games in for a season, instead of 17, that extra two games, along with extra 2 here, would mean 4 more games, all tv rights, all merch, all tickets, basically meaning at least a few more million dollars for teams.
As I said earlier, I don't even tend to care whether their goal is money or not because ultimately what I want to highlight in this case is the durability issue of the players so if those who are aiming for money as an attraction in this case I don't want to comment much because they have the authority just don't let the players feel exploited later especially with so many matches in the near future.
With so many matches indirectly their performance is also forsired which could make the vulnerability to injury even greater so don't let the organizers only want money without caring about the comfort of the players. because if something like that then actually it will tarnish the fairplay itself.
The number of teams competing will increase from 32 to 36, meaning there will be 189 matches instead of 125, and the group stage will be replaced by a league phase - otherwise known as the "Swiss model".
There's an extra 64 matches in the Champions League and this will also affect the Europa League and other competitions below it so I think regardless of whether it's for money or other reasons I just hope that the players don't feel annoyed and uncomfortable with the new format.
