Barcelona star shocks football: “I'm about to get infected, just to play”

Placed in this direction Ivan Rakic, the Croatian midfielder of Barcelona interviewed by the Spanish daily Marca has not used word games to show his feelings and the idea at the limits of normality: “I am ready to risk being infected, but I want to go back to play”.

I say full awareness that the risk will be too small, but for the solidities of those who have played for us in the first minute and will continue so for many days”, Rakitic adds.

We have to play with the right security measures, knowing that it will never be 100% safe, for us as any other worker. I think we owe this to society, we have to return what we've got over the years, and I don't just talk about economic terms: we have to go back and feed people, because it's not just about the virus.

I read about economic damages, calendars, lowers, but I don't read anything about people's passion. Of course, when I see how many millions move around soccer, taxes, jobs.

But that is not all. We have to try to refuel people with football, with the courage and strength of all” support.
