I agree with [coach Carlo Ancelotti] and other people who said there were too many games.  So many injuries are not a coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the players who play, and it&#8217;s difficult to find an agreement between everyone. It&#8217;s complicated. But the reality is that there are a lot of injuries, and I think a lot of between them are due to the calendar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Spain international Carvajal has suffered frequent injuries himself in recent years, but has returned to his career-best form this season, making 12 La Liga starts and three Champions League appearances.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of people say &#8216;why not [players] reduce their salaries?'&#8221; Carvajal added. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t say we wouldn&#8217;t do it.  If we were to <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/win\/\"   title=\"win\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">win<\/a> less and play fewer games, it wouldn&#8217;t be a problem.
