“I don’t like that we are going there to play, and I don’t agree with it. It’s unfair for the competition. I don’t like it, and I don’t think it’s right for the players. For the clubs, it’s about increasing their global popularity—probably that’s the main reason. I understand their position, but I don’t share it,” he stated.

De Jong also mentioned that such long travel will not help the players, who already have a packed schedule:

“We are always complaining about the number of matches and trips. The clubs will profit from this, but I disagree with a Spanish league match being played in Miami. I understand that other clubs might also oppose it.”
