According to England captain Harry Kane, players are not “listened to” about their scheduling concerns.

Following the Premier League season’s conclusion on May 25 and the Champions League final on May 31, the next international window will be held between May 2 and June 10th.

Due to Kane’s involvement in the new expanded Fifa Club World Cup, which will take place from June 15 through July 13, the striker won’t need a significant break this summer.

However, the 31-year-old wants to compete as much as possible for silverware.

If I’m completely honest, he said, “I don’t think the players are listened to that much.” However, everyone else wants their piece, their prize, and the players are the ones who must move on.

It is what it is, though. I never will have a complaint about playing football because I enjoy it.

“I believe there are ways to get more rest in some situations if you manage it well with your coaches, your manager, and your clubs,” he said.

“But it’s not a simple question, it’s not a simple circumstance.” We’d have to see how that turns out, but I believe there could be a balance on both sides.

Alisson Becker, a goalkeeper for Brazil at Liverpool, made the same comments last September, while Manuel Akanji, a 29-year-old defender for Manchester City and Switzerland, has previously suggested that he may have to retire due to the fixture schedule.

Debateable if Tuchel’s June window makes sense.

In a World Cup qualifier on Monday, England defeated Latvia 3-1 to win their first international match. Kane now has 20 appearances, one more than Peter Shilton’s 125-cap record.

Following an opening 2-0 victory over Albania on Friday, Thomas Tuchel’s second victory in as many games as he did at the start of his tenure.

In a window that the German claims could be changed, Tuchel’s side will meet again in June for their World Cup qualifying match against Andorra before a friendly against Senegal.

He said, “I’m not so concerned about how many games each player plays overall.”

I worry more about how long they don’t actually get a three to four week break.

They might have a three-week break, but they might have a five-day competition after that. That is the issue.

It would be better for everyone to prepare for them for at least three or three-and-a-half weeks.

The Fifa June window is, in general, debatable if this makes sense, according to the statement “being a club coach or international coach.”
