The European League is back
Long absence, football.
After being shut down for three months because of the new crown epidemic, the European Football League has finally resumed. In addition to the leagues of small countries such as Ligue 1, Netherlands and Belgium which were announced earlier this season, mainstream leagues such as Bundesliga, La Liga, Premier League and Serie A have already started to fight, and the Champions League will be resumed later. Players and fans around the world have once again entered the fierce league rhythm.
The epidemic in the past three months is like a long nightmare. This is the worst outbreak in Europe since the 1918 pandemic. At present, 2.5 million Europeans have been diagnosed with the new crown. Hundreds of thousands have unfortunately passed away, most of them elderly. Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have all become the hardest hit areas. Even now, the shadow of the new crown has not left, but has slowed down growth.
Although the economies of various European countries are reopening, people still need to wear masks to maintain social distance, and symptoms should be tested. Despite the restoration of the league, fans are still unable to enter the field to help, because tens of thousands of people gathering in the stadium means a huge risk of gathering epidemic. In late February this year, San Siro, Italy, Atlanta vs. Valencia, the UEFA Champions League game, is considered to be the key factor leading to the outbreak of the large area of Lombardy in northern Italy.
The sound of the game can be pretended by artificial noise, what about the empty auditorium? Various leagues and teams have also come up with many ways. Some teams in the Bundesliga allow fans to submit photos of themselves and make adult like cardboard to be placed in the auditorium.
