There are currently no plans for the English Premier League and English football to postpone leagues or football in general in order to cope with outbreaks of the Corona “Covid 19” epidemic among some teams. And that is according to a report published by the British newspaper “The Independent”.
The newspaper explained in an extensive report how the two associations think about the current situation, especially since the demands to stop the season are now only individual, not collective, and the current situation is under control, and nothing has been officially discussed.
How do you feel about the Premier League and English football and the current situation and anxiety in Great Britain?
The Premier League, according to the report, feels it can handle the current situation, while the British government fully supports that view. And he has shown his support since the safe resumption of football during that crisis.
The Premier League is fully confident that it can deal with the current situation, and will take every game by game and case in a state, in part due to the inability to make decisions that can materially affect everyone, especially the lower leagues.
Exams will be intense again twice a week, and there is optimism that the current system has proven its worth at work and the League will remind clubs of the need to be vigilant, especially when it comes to individual player behavior. players like hugging and social distancing.
And the Public Health Authority of England had warned patrol liaisons not to follow protocol and asked them to follow the situation more strictly than the current situation.
The month of December saw the postponement of nearly 32 games in Britain’s four major leagues, and a total of 47 games were postponed due to outbreaks of the Corona virus between teams.
But the report fully emphasized that the Premier League is fully confident in its ability to deal with the current situation and bring it to safety.
The report indicated that current evidence indicates that players have not contracted the virus while playing soccer, and that all factors around the stadium completely eliminate the risk of infection during play or training.
He noted that England’s Public Health Authority has alerted leagues to the need for vigilance over the actions of players outside the stadium and clubs, and the confusion they make between their work environment and personal life.
Great concern to keep playing non-stop anyway.
The only concern about the current situation is the number of cases that were registered with the virus on Tuesday, which put great pressure on the government to take a step to stop the outbreaks.
However, the current position – despite the postponement of the Fulham and Tottenham game – is: “A temporary postponement of the league for two weeks is unrealistic and will not happen.”
The “Independent” indicated that the Premier League will try to accommodate the games that have been postponed in the most appropriate way possible, but that will not prevent some postponements of the games in case of outbreaks.
The report said: “Football is currently paying the price for trying to play a normal season in unnatural conditions, and that problem affects the personal lives and safety of the players, and it is far from right to stop the season or not.”
He continued: “I said that central authority is a recurring and costly problem in the game in England, due to the different interests of decision-makers. No one was ready to deal with such developments, be it because of economic conditions or political preferences in the future”.
“The situation could get worse in the spring, with more postponements and more pressure to play,” he warned.
A source from the English Football Association told the newspaper: “The year 2021 will be very difficult and Covid will cause further chaos. Some people in the football business are praying that the vaccine will work quickly and effectively.”
The report indicated that chaos may increase over the next week with the start of the FA Cup third round, especially since the professional game’s board of directors will pay the price of examining 44 teams outside the premium class, and some of them fear the appearance of a large number of contagion cases in clubs that cannot function at the same time. The strength of the Premier League clubs.
The report concluded: “The game may not plan at this time to stop playing in England, but many clubs may be stopped in a case due to injuries.
