Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp says he is not part of the group that are asking for a winter break in English football.
“Look, I’m not a guy who comes to England and says ‘In Germany we do it like this’,” he told theDaily Mail.
Though he added that if England want to do better in summer tournaments then they might need to play some less football.
“They are the mother of football, so now we have to play every day. OK, it’s like it is.
“But in the end you have to accept that when the summer comes, if you want to be successful, you need to maybe cut one or two games.”
People have argued and will continue to argue on which league is the hardest, or the most exciting or the most technical but Klopp says the intensity and no chance of recovery makes the football in England so tough.
“The biggest difference between England and the others is that the competition is always so hard. So, yes, you can play three games if you have teams with special ability, like Manchester City or Manchester United — two teams and let them play.
“The big difference to Spain is that Barcelona can play 50 per cent of their games with Team B; or there are games where Lionel Messi runs 4.3 kilometres [Average in the EPL is 6km] but scores five goals.
“ That’s a recovery session. England has no recovery session, in absolutely any game.
“You can win, you can win high if you break them at a specific point, but until that point it is always hard, hard, hard.
“So you get three games, 26th, 28th, 31st [December], at the highest intensity. Not one second of recovery,” he added.
