Reacting to Rodri’s comment, Figo insisted that it’s logical that there are more and more matches.

“We have to see what the best solution is,” Figo, who was a star for Real Madrid and Portugal, stated.

“But it’s logical that there are more and more matches.

“It’s all like a snowball. The more matches, the bigger the contracts. If there are fewer matches, the contracts will be reduced.”
