On April 24, local time, Munich, Germany, the Bundesliga club Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer was in training. According to reports, Bayern Munich has resumed field training on April 6 local time.
China News Client Beijing, May 8 (Zhang Yifan) On the evening of the 7th, Beijing time, the German Professional Football League announced that the Bundesliga will officially restart on May 16. For fans, the return of high-level leagues has finally become a reality. What kind of signal will the Bundesliga's "FireWire comeback" become for the football world?
The future of the five major leagues is still difficult to determine
According to the announced schedule, the German Football Association intends to hold the German Cup semi-finals and finals before the end of June (preliminarily determined as June 16/17 and June 27), so the Bundesliga must arrange at least 3 rounds in the middle of the week. The Frankfurt-based German Professional Football League believes that it is the best way to finish as soon as possible.
Earlier, Ligue 1 had announced the early end, while the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga are still waiting to see.
The Premier League held a general meeting of shareholders earlier this month, and all 20 clubs continued their determination to complete the league this season. According to Western media reports, the Spanish Football Professional League has conducted a new crown virus test on players from the 6th to the 7th. Leganes coach Aguirre even revealed that they have received notice that the La Liga season will restart on June 20.
Because the actual situation in various countries and the requirements for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic are different, the Bundesliga rematch cannot be simply applied to other leagues. But the Bundesliga's first restart will at least bring some comfort and reference to other leagues that want to resume.
With the improvement of the epidemic situation in Italy, the government departments of the country have embarked on a “relaxation” ban. According to the plan, Serie A teams can resume personal training from May 4th.
However, with the investigation of the epidemic situation conducted by various clubs after restarting the training, the situation in Serie A may not be so optimistic. A total of 6 people in Florence have a positive result, 3 of them are players, and the other 3 are club employees. In addition to Florence, Turin found that one player tested positive for the new crown, while Sampdoria had 4 players tested positive.

Ligue 1's "Fighting the Banner" and the resurgence of the Bundesliga's battles are all decisions based on the current epidemic situation in their respective countries. Although to a certain extent, they will bring reference to the fate of other leagues this season, but the act of copying the copy unwise. The two leagues handing in different answers also foretells the future of the five major leagues and is still confusing.
Is it really safe?
In the first round of the Bundesliga ’s first round of the new crown pneumonia test against the league, a total of 1,742 Bundesliga players and staff were tested, and 10 of them were positive. The result also attracted attention from the outside world. These positive cases are all asymptomatic patients and have been quarantined for two weeks.
This can not help the fans to question, is it really safe to play football in the current situation? The Bundesliga players come from different countries, and the schedule will start in a week, which is also within the incubation period of the virus. Once a positive case appears again after the rematch, it will undoubtedly bring great pressure.
On April 24, local time, Munich, Germany, the Bundesliga club Bayern Munich conducted field training. Fans watched outside the training ground.
In the Bundesliga plan, two tests a week are the basis for the rematch. In addition, the league official also hopes that the tight schedule will make it easier for players to follow hygiene instructions and stay in their homes between games.
However, local authorities may insist on the isolation of participating teams, which will regenerate the schedule. Herta striker Kalu inadvertently showed the world's casual epidemic behavior (shaking hands in the locker room) in the live broadcast on Monday. Since then, the clubs have been informed that health officials will conduct special visits, and Kalu himself has been The club was suspended from training.
UEFA will face difficulties
Before the Bundesliga official announced the return, UEFA initially set the date for the restart of the Champions League, specifically August 8. The UEFA heads and representatives of the participating clubs negotiate to discuss the specific agenda. UEFA believes that the premise of the UEFA Champions League is that the national leagues are completed at the end of July, so that August can be used to play in the European War.
On March 13, Beijing time, UEFA announced a suspension of the Champions League.
If the permission of the governments of various countries is obtained, the second round of Juventus and Lyon will be staged on August 8. In addition, the second round of Bayern Munich v Chelsea, Manchester City v Real Madrid, Barcelona v Naples will also be staged.
Now UEFA's vision has gradually become a reality. With the cancellation of the Ligue 1 and the announcement of the Bundesliga schedule, the return of the Champions League seems to be moving in a good direction. But what may be facing UEFA at that time is the many potential problems such as the difficulty of balancing the fairness of the schedule and the degree of team aggregation.
Even according to the most optimistic ideas, even if other leagues fired their guns in the most ideal time, I am afraid that they cannot catch up with the time set by UEFA for the European War. Assuming the schedule conflict between the league and the European war is a huge test for the depth of the participating teams.
In addition, contracts for a large number of players will expire in July. If some of them insist on becoming free and refuse to play for the rest of the season for the team, this will also be a very difficult problem. European football "resumption" has gradually begun, but the distance is back to normal track, I am afraid it will still take time. (Finish)
