The players in the Chinese soccer team of Wuhan were forced to stay in a forced diaspora in Spain a month and a half after the outbreak of the Corona virus in their homeland, and now they are returning to China after the disease spread at a high rate in Europe and its decline in China.
The sports newspaper "AS" specialized in Spain, said that the players of "Wuhan FC" boarded the plane, which will take them from Pablo Picasso airport in the city of Malaga, in southern Spain, wearing masks on the face.
It is strange that these players extended their stay in Spain after announcing the appearance of the first cases of infection in their city, Wuhan, but their home is now considered safer than Spain, which they left.
"The problem is now here," said coach Jose Gonzalez, a Spanish national, before the plane took off.
At a time when the tension in China has eased due to the virus, Spain has become the second largest country where the virus has spread in Europe after Italy.
But Gonzalez did not prefer to use the term "escape" as some media said, saying that "the Chinese Football Association intends to resume matches again in May, and after the team's arrival (to China) we will first have to appear for quarantine measures, and for this we have to return Quickly".
