Jim Duffy asserts that playing for your country’s football team is an essential aspect of being a football player, responding to a fan’s grievance that the international break will affect Rangers and Celtic’s title fight.
On Wednesday, March 20, the caller requested that international breaks be eliminated from the Clyde 1 Superscoreboard because of possible injuries. The commentator responded that injuries can occur during practice or during any type of game, whether it be for their club or country.
He said it’s “fantastic” that the Old Firm teams are currently vying for the trophy, implying that players desire to go and represent their country.
The caller’s proposal, according to host Gordan Duncan, only highlights how intense the competition for the Scottish Premiership is growing because people are “getting worried about everything.”
“Three enormous English teams are vying for the Premier League; it’s a multi-million-pound business, and their players will be traveling,” stated Duffy. “If you’re a player, you want to be competing at the greatest level for your country, and the Euros are soon to come.
The idea that there is a title battle underway is amazing, but it’s just part and parcel of football. Let’s face it, over the years, we have lamentably witnessed players suffer injuries while serving for their country abroad. When they return, it is extremely frustrating, but it may also occur in training or during any type of game.
“It appears that more of the blame is placed on the countries when the players leave when it occurs during international duty.”
This simply indicates to me that tensions in the title race are rising and that people are becoming anxious about things,” Duncan continued.
Many people are probably rather irritated that the international break has come at the wrong time, which is why the competition for the Rangers and Celtic championship is definitely heating up.
The Hoops lead the Old Firm rivals by just one point, and the Gers have a game in hand after their postponed match against Dundee.
Although it is always a worry that players may be hurt when serving for their countries, injuries may occur at any time and the risk is arguably the same as it is when they are with their clubs.
However, because players frequently have to make rapid turnarounds and sometimes have to travel further before returning to play for their teams, the international breaks may be quite busy for them.
As they prepare to compete for the championship in the last few weeks of the season, Philippe Clement can only hope that every one of his players makes a smooth return to Ibrox.
