Heavy clutch pedal

In consultation with a friend, the clutch pedal is heavy and every time you change gears, your feet hurt. When I run the test, the pedal is really heavy. As a cause, it was decided that the clutch wire was rusty or the release bearing was out of oil, and the clutch was disassembled.
