Once again, I would like to apologize for missing the presentation. I was slightly confused about the date. I am looking forward to the new date.
Since my research has been long over, maybe I can talk about how corona virus has continued to affect the world of soccer.
Among Europe's major leagues, the Dutch Eredivisie and the French League 1 have been called off a while ago. These leagues have ended their seasons and handed out crowns. The Premier League are still investigating whether they can start their league again whereas the German Bundesliga have planned to resume their season behind closed doors on the 16th of May. Elsewhere, the Korean K-league have actually started the new season.
In England, Premier League players were put under scrutiny by the British health minister Matt Hancock to take a pay cut and 'play their part.' In a nationwide statement regarding public health, he made a controversial statement that was rather uncalled for. Many critics have argued that Hancock was deflecting the government's inability to keep the virus from their borders onto the players. Despite this harsh statement, captains of the Premier League have come together to donate a substantial amount of money to the British NHS.
Many leagues will be looking towards the K-league that have already managed to begin their official season and the German Bundesliga who will effectively resume their season later this month. Successful launchings will potentially see other leagues resuming their leagues as well.
Leagues should not start if they jeopardize the common health in any way. We will see how this one pans out.
