Although the coronavirus has not yet disappeared and is even reviving throughout Europe, the situation is now better. Football has also been played for a while, albeit under strict measures. But it is all not easy, Erik ten Hag also knows.
“It is difficult to work”, said the Ajax coach on the eve of the duel with Atalanta. “Because you are confronted with the measures. With players who sometimes have to drop out at the last minute. Then you have to switch.”
Influence on results
Corona infections are also increasing in professional football, just like in society. In the Netherlands, AZ and PSV, among others, have been heavily affected by the corona virus. According to Ten Hag, this situation affects the results in the field.
“Directly, I don’t know. But indirectly for sure,” said the coach. “Consider, for example, the overload, a lot is currently being asked of the players.”
