FIFA medical chief has warned that the resumption of the current soccer season in the coming weeks could cause a second blow to COVID-19's pandemic.
Michel D'Hooghe believes football should not be restored by the end of August or early September, with a new season, as quick return can now have serious consequences.
Bundesligla is among the evils aimed at being restored on May 9th, following the permit it received from the relevant authorities.
We all submit to national decisions by public authority. It's very simple. Football suddenly becomes the most important thing in life”, declared D'Hooge for English media.
I would be happy if we could start, in a proper way, the next championship and have nothing before his start”.
If they could start at 2020/2021 at the end of August or early September, I would be happy. Then they could eventually avoid a second attack from the virus, which is not impossible”.
Everybody should be very careful right now. I've heard in many places they're thinking of playing soccer again, with or without fans”.
If there is a situation where medical arguments should win against economic ones, it is now. It's not about money, it's about life and death. It's very simple”
