ChinaNews.net client, Beijing, May 19 (Zhang Yifan) In the early morning of the 19th, with the pharmaceutical factory Leverkusen's 4: 1 away victory over Bremen, the Bundesliga also completed the first round of the game after "resuming work". In the current epidemic, German football has become the forerunner of the restart of the five major leagues, and has ended the fans' waiting for more than 60 days.
Halland and his teammates "separately celebrate"
Has football been changed?
The Ruhr Derby on the evening of the 16th, Beijing time, as the debut of the Bundesliga's return, also witnessed the changes in the epidemic on football. In this game destined to rewrite history, Schalke 04 ran out of 5 substitutions, and they became the first team in the Bundesliga history to make 5 substitutions in a single game.
In addition to Schalke 04, Hertha Berlin and Paderborn also used all five substitutions, but because Schalke's fifth substitution appeared the earliest, they also became the first People who eat crabs. What is predictable is that in the future games, because the players' condition has not yet reached the best, the five substitution places will also become their reliance on maintaining tactics and seeking victory.
Tribute to tribute
Dortmund striker Harland scored his first Bundesliga goal after the quarter-finals. Fans will still remember the celebration action after his goal-because of the regulations of the epidemic prevention, players cannot hug and celebrate, so excited Ha Rand can only keep a safe social distance with other teammates who want to celebrate together near the corner banner area, shaking his body together, smiling at each other.
Shaking hands and other actions are strictly prohibited, and replaced by the unbearable handsome air or elbow celebration. At present, most teams can "defend themselves like jade", but in some games there are scenes where players gather to celebrate. Hertha Berlin once again successfully grabbed the mirror. Guard Boyata took the initiative to kiss his teammates, but this did not happen. Severe punishment was incurred for him.
Overall, the Bundesliga made bold attempts for the world sports. No matter before, during or after the game, everyone except the players on the stage wears masks according to regulations, even the coaching staff, bench members and cameramen on the sidelines are no exception. In the first week of the return of the highest level of football in the world, the Bundesliga demonstrated the possibility of restarting sports events under the epidemic.

How important are the fans?
Admission without spectators has also become a different kind of scenery on the field. When watching the broadcast, you can hear the voices of players and coaches that were previously inaudible. When there was no deafening shouts from the audience on the court, the atmosphere on the court was significantly lowered, and the lack of it was also obvious. The twelfth player on the field, the players' desires and passions have been affected to a certain extent.
Even if the players have excellent performances on the court, the wonderful cooperation between the players is not lost before the lockout, but there are no fans on the sidelines. This kind of football is still missing a lot of elements. Perhaps it was affected by the empty game. In all games of this round, only Dortmund's team won at home. It remains to be seen whether the former "home dragon" can maintain its original power.
In this case, many teams have come up with various ways to create a game atmosphere, such as placing "cardboard people" in the stands and so on. Cologne sent an invitation to the fans before the game to cheer for the team with their jerseys and scarves. In the end, they received hundreds of football jerseys and scarves, and put the words "FC" in the stands.

Perhaps it was the indispensable feeling of the fans' strength. After the Ruderby, the Dort players came to the South Stand and thanked the empty stands to express their thoughts of their “missing”. In response, Dort winger Brandt also said: "This is our spontaneous behavior. We are exhausted after the game, so the past seven or eight weeks (suspended) still have some impact on us."
Football that maintains "social distance"
Because of the regulations on epidemic prevention, the handshake ceremony between the two sides and the referee was cancelled before the game. Even when the captains of the two sides tossed the coins, they must be separated by more than one meter. What is more interesting is that after the game, the "foot-touching" ceremony replaced the handshake and became the etiquette for all the players on the court to greet each other.
Leipzig Red Bull ’s bench could n’t meet the 1.5m safe social distance requirement, so they took the usual boarding stairs from the nearby airport, allowing some players to move up and down between the infield and the stands, becoming a "green" for special periods. aisle". In the game, whenever a player is replaced, the club staff or team doctor will immediately send a mask to the player, and the player also cooperates, wears a mask and walks to a safe position.
Cologne fans put on the jersey "Cheer"
The mixed interview area after the game also lost the past noisy scene. The reporter on the side of the field used a microphone stand of more than 3 meters to interview players and coaches, and the microphone was also covered with plastic cloth. Of course, the interview time and topics will be as short as possible, and everyone will be asked to leave the area with relatively high personnel density as early as possible.
After 10 games, the Bundesliga submitted a qualified answer. As the British "Daily Mail" said, "The whole of Europe is watching the Bundesliga become the first league to restart in the outbreak. Although other European leagues still have a long way to go, they take the first step in the Bundesliga. Later, it will undoubtedly accelerate the pace of others to follow up. "
In the world's attention, the return of "football" has not caused a series of problems that people are worried about. Perhaps the epidemic has affected or even changed football, but at least, we have seen hope that competitive sports will return to life. (Finish)
