Some players can't breathe enough, why do football return?

VIỆT HÙNG |

Regardless of the method, if it is not possible to ensure the health of the players, tournaments should not be restarted, especially in the COVID-19 epidemic in Europe.

After nearly 3 months since the most recent match, the Premier League has made a series of plans so that the tournament can return from around mid-June.

All conditions and methods are met to draw safety directions for the players, the coaching staff and the direct service staff. In theory, every way can keep them safe from that evil epidemic. However, for those who have been sick, recovered and want to return, how much strength will they have?

British health authorities say that COVID-19 is a disease that directly affects the heart and lungs. Those who have had the disease, even after being cured, will need a long time to return to the normal state of the above internal organs.

Many teams in Europe have players or staff recovered from COVID-19 shared that most of these players cannot practice normally, cannot breathe deep while practicing for 5 minutes. This leads to concerns about whether the decision to return to football at this time is really safe, even though the other virus is no longer affecting them?

Dr. Aneil Malhotra, now a cardiologist at the Football Association, said that in addition to assessing whether the players are healthy, more tests are needed to consider the risks these players may face when returning to the pitch.

Players are covered by insurance, that money is used to serve times like this, regardless of whether that person is on the payroll of a small team like Scunthorpe United or the "Giants" Manchester United. The doctors wanted them to go down to the field, check the players carefully, ensure that those who were newly qualified could play, avoiding unfortunate consequences.

In the Turkish tournament, players are disinfected all over the body before playing. In the Premier League, stars are also encouraged to wear masks, gloves or masks, etc. Many strange regulations have never happened before, causing football stars to feel confused but they are forced to accept even though in their hearts, many people are very afraid of the epidemic.

Online exercises are meaningless as no one teaches players the most important skills when returning to the pitch at this time. They are only taught exercises, which they have done continuously throughout their careers. For that reason, confusion is inevitable.

Many players suggested to the team that they want 3 weeks of light training and getting used to it before returning to normal intensity. Health is the most important thing, if someone has a heart attack while exercising at high intensity after recovering from illness, the home team will make a mistake that may never be saved.

Testing negative, returning to practice and possibly testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, players in England in particular and Europe in general, whether more or less, still feel scared. Because there are families behind them, if they are not safe, who will be the one to shoulder those heavy responsibilities?
