Seedorf speaks against a World Cup every two years

The discussion about a World Championship in the two-year rhythm currently employs football. Clarence Seedorf is part of the warehouse of those who are for retaining the current cycle. Why is a WM now so unique? I do not know exactly why the cycle should be shortened, but should the reasons be purely commercial nature, it is unnecessary, finds the four-time Champions League winner and World Cup participants of 1998 .

Seedorf: I say if everything is available every day, the price drops

The development in football towards more and more playing in more and more competitions is from the point of view of Seedorf the wrong way. If you offer too much to the audience, nothing is especially special, warns the 45-year-old. Less is more because the games get a higher quality, as the players are salvaged. If we rethink competition formats, this question must be answered: How can we keep the quality of the game and performance of each individual and at the same time reduce the number of injuries ? These considerations could also be commercially worthwhile: Maybe you earn more money with more quality. I say if everything is available every day, the price drops.

Against a World Cup Every two years, Seedorf also argues for the sake of tradition - and refers to the parallel to Olympia: Sport is also romance, or? If the romanticism is missing, we get another game. For me it is something very special, to look at the Olympic Games every four years. For this you work as a sportsman with all the effort and discipline you have to raise.

It would describe the history books

Such a highlight would take place every two years, one would take the athlete the right mindset to prepare, fears Seedorf. You have to seriously approach your program, because your big moment comes only every four years. In addition, it would describe the history books. The former athletes have given their best, mentally in the same four-year rhythm. We will give their successors every two years Chance? Why? Olympic games as an example of the World Cup, emphasizes the former world class player.
