The winter break is a great idea. It still doesn't solve the issue of so many matches during the festive period. So, I'm curious to see how the break impacts the actual schedule, but it at least gives clubs some time to heal & rest right before Champions League resumes.
The thing I found most interesting from other articles I've read about this is that it seems to be driven by the hope that a winter break will help England perform better at the 2020 Euros. I find that to be slightly odd that this would be the driving force rather than helping English clubs perform better in the Champions League. Regardless of the actual reason for the break, I think it's a good idea.
I actually agree with you @ fanfutsal. The main reason for the proposed change doesn't seem to focus on a single factor.
Already, the congestion of fixtures during the Christmas festivities won't change, as stated in the post.
Then the matter of Champions League dominance erroneously hinges on the break, as against the quality of players a team has, and the quality bench too. And the logic seems flawed.
Then for the aspect of its relevance ahead of Euro 2020, also seems ironical. Because a congested fixture leading to an early closure or finish of the season would actually be what benefits England - so that the players would rest before preparations and hostilities begin.
All in all, it is a good development for the players to enjoy a few days of rest season. Thanks for reading @fanfutsal
