Arsene Wenger has said that he feels there is suitable restbite in the summer for players, and is opposed to the idea of a winter break. Sven-Goran Eriksson has famously spoken of his preference for a winter break, however, Wenger believes the winter action keeps the Premiership unique.
âAt the moment there is still a reasonable break in the summer,â said the manager to the Arsenal official website. âSo I feel that is better than getting to a solution where you have no break in the winter and no break in the summer.
âLetâs not be stupid. We cannot go down to 18 teams in the Premier League. You do not have less games than before, you always have more.
âI certainly think we [at Arsenal] have a big enough squad to give the players a rest when it is needed. For example, I like to keep stability in the team but when it is needed to take one or two players out.
â[Anyway] if you want to ask the players to make a winter break it needs to be two months, because you need to give them three weeks off.
âIf it is one week off I donât think anything changes apart from the mental refreshment. Physically I donât think there would be a big amount of efficiency.â
