The Portuguese midfielder is the latest player to speak out against the schedule, especially since FIFA have introduced the new Club World Cup at the end of this season in 2025.
"I think there are two completely different issues here. When the players complain, people say that players can't complain about the life they have. And they're right because we're fulfilling a dream and we do what we do.," Silva told Record.
"On the other hand, the schedule is completely crazy. We've just received the news that we only have one day off for the English League Cup game. We play Arsenal, we rest for a day and then we have the game against Watford. And if we don't get knocked out of any other competition, we'll play every three days for months.
"It's been absolutely absurd. In the Champions League, if you don't qualify for the round of 16 you still have to play two more games. It's true that the squads are bigger, but I'm not going to say that it's easy. It hasn't been easy.
"I spend very little time with my family and friends. The amount of games we're subjected to is absolutely absurd."
