French club Lyon president Jean-Michel Olas, the most prominent opponent of the decision to end the French Football League season early due to the new Corona virus, confirmed that he still hopes that the game authorities will return to its decision.
"When our intention is clear, we have to say that the people who made the mistake of stopping very quickly, will not," Olas said in comments to AFP, when asked whether he still sees the possibility of reversing the decision to end the season and crowning Paris Saint Germain with the title. They make a second mistake, which will be non-return, "to the championship matches.
"I hope it will be resumed. It could have been done in July, because nothing prevents it. (Nadia) Rennes and Strasbourg are back in individual exercises," he added.
On a message to the European Union President of the Slovenian game (Weva), Alexander Ceverin, in which he considered the French decision premature, Olas commented, "I ask myself, day and night, what actually happened (to make the decision).
Olas hinted that there could be "pressure on footballers themselves, and possibly officials," to put an end to the end of April for the 2019-2020 season, and culminate in the leadership of SG.
The decision came about two days after French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe declared that no sporting activity would be permitted until September.
France remains the only country among the five major European national championships to decide the end of the season. In terms of other tournaments, Italy, Spain and England are looking at ways to complete the season and started taking gradual steps towards that without setting an official date yet, while Germany last Saturday became the first major championship to resume its activities, but without an audience and under strict health measures to prevent "Covid-19".
