KNVB director Eric Gudde simply assumes professional football: ‘Otherwise completely unbelievable’ | Football

sport">“It would be completely incomprehensible and implausible if we did not play football,” said Eric Gudde, director of professional football of the football association, Sunday evening at the WE.

sport">“It is clear that the infections are increasing and that tough measures must follow, but then you have to put your finger on the sore spot and that is certainly not football,” said Gudde. According to the director, everything went well in the fourth round in the Eredivisie, which played without an audience, and in those rounds before that, the audience “also went incredibly well.”

Perspective on declining line

sport">He said the measures should be clear and unambiguous. “In my opinion, you should at least be able to play without an audience, but there should also be a perspective for the entire event industry if the downward trend starts again.” According to Gudde, that is crucial for professional football.

sport">It is not known which measures the cabinet will take this week to reduce the increasing number of coronavirus infections and whether there are measures for professional football. Gudde said that he had had contact with the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport on Sunday and that there is no news on that front yet.
