Will Dutch professional football be the victim of stricter corona measures in the coming week? Regardless of whether it is sensible or not, according to the guests Studio Football no worse moment imaginable to take a break.
Knowing that Prime Minister Rutte and Minister De Jonge will probably give another press conference on Tuesday, Pierre van Hooijdonk, Theo Janssen, Leonne Stentler and Arno Vermeulen try to oversee the consequences for football at the table with presenter Sjoerd van Ramshorst.
“As a football fan, we want it to continue”, Stentler expresses the common thought at the table. But the health of those involved must then be guaranteed. “I would argue for a real sports bubble.”
And that sporty bubble, a closed and safe environment for athletes, is not there now. All premier league clubs have now had to deal with or had to deal with infections in the selection, with AZ taking the lead with fifteen corona cases. PSV wasted with a team heavily damaged by corona infections, Ajax is in the lead.
Chilly environment
Vitesse took full advantage of this with a victory over the Eindhoven team. “That certainly had to do with it”, says Van Hooijdonk plainly. “PSV can otherwise bring a much stronger team together.”
Even tourist office that Saturday at one historical 0-13 was treated by Ajax, was hindered by the chilly surroundings in an unpopulated Koel.
