Caution. It is not yet true that the football championship, together with all sport, will only stop until April. Nor will the plenary meeting of the Football Association say the last word today. All sport has agreed to stop, has given its availability to something never seen, but it has been up to the government to make a decision that in the history of a century has never wanted to make anyone. The impression that you are already late, the first to want to stop are the players themselves: the discomfort has become fear. Their union has already voted to stop. And it’s not true that the show must always go on. Many have stopped. And then they started again. The government was forced to write that decree, because it could no longer keep a people at home and force thousands of footballers to be together. It would not have been credible.
He had to take responsibility for doing football what he’s doing for the whole country. In the meantime, football must look forward. The blockade of the championships, just because necessary, is already the past. The frontier now Europe. France, Germany, Spain are close to our disease level, with only one week less. The real discussion, not the championship, the Champions League, is the European Championship. In essence, the true interlocutor is not the Football Federation, but UEFA, if not the European Union.
The statute of the Union provides that health is the responsibility of individual nations, but Europeans are traveling this time, will be played in multiple countries. Whose competence is it on hundreds of thousands of people who return to regroup in 12 countries, perhaps a few weeks after the virus has gone down? Coming out of an epidemic is not like closing a door. The air will continue to pass for weeks, even after the technical end of the disease. Thinking for yourself (League, Federation, Cones, government) necessary, but completely insufficient, without vision. only with Europe that the recovery and the new calendar can be decided.
