He expressed concern, stating, "I feel like we're losing focus, particularly with the upcoming Club World Cup next season. We are fortunate to be well-compensated for doing something we are passionate about. While we appreciate that, there are times when we need to switch off mentally and prioritize our mental well-being."

“At the beginning, when we got into European competitions, it was like: 'Keep playing, keep playing'. But it's difficult to produce that (performances) when you play more than 70 games a season and then you play international games.

"There's not much time to rest. It's more the mental side. Football at this level has incredible ups and downs. At the end of the season you just want to say: 'Hands up, I'm done'. But now the teams competing in the Club World Cup won't have time to do that. People's health is the most important thing."
