the League Cup must be put up for discussion, even if it improves the financial situation of the third and fourth division, said Rangnick on Friday (December 24th, 2021) at the press conference before the game in the Premier League at Newcastle United on Monday (December 27th, 2021).
He also advocated the abolition of repeat games in FA Cup. “That would be a good idea. In other countries, cup competitions have extra time and penalty shoot-outs“said the 63-year-old.
Klopp and Tuchel also criticize the burden
Rangnick is in good company with his demands, because his German colleagues Jürgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel have also been demanding in the past few days to reduce the burden on the players. However, both of them have been working on the island for a long time and have won titles with their teams.
Klopp, since October 2015 at FC Liverpool under contract, led the club to championship and Champions League. Tuchel is with that FC Chelsea Defending champion in the Champions League.
