Too many Nations League matches in World Cup year: Germany's Flick
Nations League matches at the end of a long season in June is too much for a World Cup year, with players to get little rest until the tournament starts in November in Qatar, said Germany coach Hansi Flick on Friday. The Germans, who played two draws against Italy and England on June 4 and on June 7 in the Nations League A Group 3, face Hungary in Budapest on Saturday before taking on Italy on June 14. "I agree with that," said Flick when asked whether the Nations League matches were a strain for players.
