Should played football at Christmas?

Last update 21 December, 2013 by Julio Muñoz

We enter Christmas and we find that football follows a double track. In a number of countries such as Spain, France, Germany or Italy, players start from next monday 23 a series of holidays to spend with their families and recharge. Instead, in other places like England or Holland, the workday load increases and far from a break, an avalanche of matches is coming.

Especially striking is the case of the Premier. Since Saturday 21 November to Wednesday 1 from January, four intense days of football will be played with really interesting clashes. Two of them stand out especially. which will be held on 26 from December, known as Boxing Day, and new year's day.

Both will have the bulk of meetings at 15 hours with a particularity. The matches are not televised except for two that are offered by BT Sport and one that is broadcast by Sky. The objective, that people can go to the stadiums with their families and that these are filled. For it, accessible entrances, interesting matches and football, a party for young and old.

Having said that, what seems more interesting for a league? What is played on these endearing dates or that there is a break? GOOD, although there are opinions for all tastes, There are a number of elements that can guide us when it comes to giving the most accurate response possible.. The fact of playing at Christmas causes the footballers to miss vacations and they cannot be with their loved ones during this period.. Until there, correct, but if we take a twist we find something else.

The Premier does not play matches on the day 25, nor of course, on Christmas Eve. Besides, Ensure that the teams play in their city or very close as long as there are no long trips that would allow them not to concentrate on the night of Christmas Day.. But, Moreover, Playing on these dates represents a strong economic injection for the clubs.

The matches are watched halfway around the world with high audiences, Spending on stadiums skyrockets and teams are logically well-off with family investments. With the population on vacation, nothing is better than watching a good Premier match. All of this, unlike Spain, where that period is used to give players rest, figures who rule out playing at this time of year unless it is put in the hands of the AFE 40 millions of euros.

The Premier players union has refused to play on these dates for years. Spanish fans want to play once and for all at Christmas. The suitability of holding matches or not, depends on taste. And to taste, they already know, colors.
