Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has questioned the new format of the UEFA Champions League saying players are not being listened to about workloads.
Last season, Liverpool played 58 matches across all competitions.
Should the Reds reach the final of every competition they play in this season they would play 65 matches (excluding a potential Champions League play-off round).
“Sometimes nobody asks the players what they think about adding more games,” Alisson was quoted by BBC Sport.
“Maybe our opinion doesn’t matter, but everybody knows what we think about having more games. Everybody’s tired of that.”
Alisson, who played 42 matches for Liverpool and Brazil last season despite being out injured for more than two months, added: “So many players have spoken already about it, we just need to be listened to.
“If you are tired you cannot compete at a high level. What I want is to give my best in all the games I play.
“At the moment it doesn’t look like we are close to a solution for football’s sake and for the players’ sake.”
