National football continues with an indefinite future due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus. With the Paulistão and Brasileirão games still to begin, Corinthians awaits the definition of entities to plan the season.
Despite countless measures being studied, President Andrés Sánchez finds it difficult for games with fans to happen again in 2020, and the rest of the year can pass without receiving the box office revenue from the Arena.
“Corinthians does not depend on this income. What depends on this income is paying the Arena, it will really take money, but I think that before the end of the year nobody will return with the doors open“in an interview with Band.
“What is heard, what is said, is that in July he returns with the doors closed. But it’s a kick, nobody knows. It may be that July São Paulo is fine, but Rio is not, so it depends a lot. The idea of centralizing was discussed in Paulista, but it did not have much acceptance, “he added.

Initially, Timão’s team is on vacation until the end of April and, as defender Pedro Henrique said, Joaquim Grava appears again in CT on the first day of May. For the president, however, the chance of retraining soon is slim. With this, Paulistão may end up losing space on the calendar.
“I also want to train again, to play, but soccer is a game. You cannot continue separating yourself, you have to all play together.” I think before June we will not train again without“he declared.
“I understand that we have to deliver everything that we are committed to, but due to the lack of date, it may be that Paulista is in the background in the future. But the priority is to deliver all the championships, “he concluded.
If it’s only after June, it would be the second time that returning to work has been postponed since the start of the pandemic. Initially, it is worth remembering that the athletes’ recess continued until April 20, but ended up being extended for ten days, since São Paulo remains in quarantine, recently extended until May 10 by the state governor.
In recent days, CBF discussed some possibilities for resuming competitions across the country, such as separate small-group training and preventive and hygiene measures.
