Belgium with rigorous rules: The yellow card and the fine who act after the goal stop group hugs

Tampona, you speak, the seat. Words that have unfortunately become a common part of football lexic, which in this absurd 2020 certainly could not escape the consequences of the David-19 pandemic.
However, despite great attention to contacts with the outside world to avoid infection, those within the same “foe” usually interact with some kind of freedom.
The reasoning is easy to do: why not let players embrace and be close to each other, considering that they share the dressing rooms and when they're in the field they're practically ... forced to touch each other?
In Germany, when Bundesligla resumed after the impasse, they tried to enforce some stricter rules, such as the one that prevented the post-go goals celebrations. But it didn't last long.
Now, however, with the second wave, in some country the directives of several months ago have returned to fashion. Belgium is one of the most affected countries in the pandemic and even football there has also had its problems, despite the fact that the championship was initially suspended in March and later declared unfinished to the remaining matches.
Now playing, the infections are also growing, even among the players, and for that reason, pro League directors, the national championship, have chosen the difficult way.
As reported by Brussels Times, the idea was to again become banned from embracing between teammates after a goal, punishing a yellow card and even a fine.
Pro League press announcement has arrived and explains that the overdue “celebrations will be punished with a yellow card and a fine of 750 euros.
A decision that will make life very complicated for the judges, who will now also have to pay attention to the way the scorer decides to rejoice behind the goal.
Easier said than done, explains Pro League Communications Chief. How do you determine the limit within which it is possible to rejoice? And if you're celebrating in the panquia? Do we punish them too? We need to figure out how to make “work. But in the meantime, better... stay away from each other.
