• UEFA.Ceferin: "Old football will be back soon"

Florentino Pérez put on the mask and went this morning to Valdebebas to visit the staff. It is the first meeting of the President of Real Madrid with his players since the return to training. In a round of greetings in the distance, questions for the family and encouragement to the troops, the president spoke with Zinedine Zidane , the coach was very interested in learning about the next steps in football.

"Presi, when do we play the league again?" asked the French coach, who looks impatiently at the preparation times. He still does not know if next week he will be able to train with his entire team or if he will have to continue doing it in small groups. LaLiga and the CSD await the indications of the Ministry of Health. The uncertainty embraces the teams at this time, with no clear dates to resume the competition. Nor is that Champions League tie to be decided, in theory in Manchester , whether UEFA manages to allow clubs to fly to other countries in August.

Florentino has greeted all the footballers one by one, asking them for these hard weeks of confinement. The President reviewed while the players were doing an exercise bike. Gloves, mask, jokes three meters away from safety and good wishes crossed for a quieter wardrobe now than days ago. LaLiga's demanding anti-tagging protocol for the moment seems to work. In the first two rounds of testing, the targets were virus-free. There would be the tests prior to group training, where the risks will increase.

Then, in early June, the final sprint would begin towards the restart of the tournament, scheduled - in LaLiga's plans - for June 12 . There are 11 days to play and Madrid is second in the table, two points behind Barcelona.
