Elbow to face: The blow that the Premier League received is painful and dangerous

After Hadera and Sakhnin, the mass contagion of Maccabi Tel Aviv requires all parties involved to think.

From adhering to elbow celebrations after a gate to complete adherence to the isolation procedures, they may finally stop rounding corners and realize that this is an existential matter

Let's start with the interesting news that was not discussed with you during the last week in general and yesterday in particular.

In contrast to the general population situation, it seems that the Premier League in football is actually capable of developing herd immunity to Corona.

Hapoel Hadera, Bnei Sakhnin and now also Maccabi Tel Aviv with a scourge of contagion, which may spread to a larger number of players.

After all, unlike the general population, this is a case of limited adherence, with one carrier being able to infect half a group.

Assuming (yet to be proven, it should be emphasized, but its likelihood is high) that it is rare to impossible to get infected again, it is not unlikely that within a month to two months corona symptoms will be found among most Premier League players, which will allow the games to continue relatively regularly.

So far the theory, which may make sense but is far-reaching, and now to the painful reality: No one has planned or built on the fact that the 13 players and team members of the champion will be found positive two days before a decisive match for promotion to the Champions League.

No one also aimed for Maccabi Tel Aviv to freeze its activities in the league for at least two weeks, but it did happen, and it requires a re-arrangement of all parties, from the team to the league director.

Two days before Salzburg: Six positive Maccabi Tel Aviv players for Corona

Images that speak for themselves.

A few months ago I had an affair with a source in the league administration.

He claimed that they do everything to eradicate the Corona from the pitches and continue to play safely, I argued that they do not think enough about the good of the players.

An argument broke out between us, some of my points were correct, even a significant part of his own.

"And what about the hugs after exiles?"

I asked and he replied "the players are in the same space. True, it is desirable that they take care not to hug, but in the end there is common sense."

It was hard to blame him then for raising this argument.

A football player scores, there is no crowd in the stadium, the only candy left for him is to share the big moment with his friends.

Instinct.

It does not only apply in the country, it has happened and still happens all over the world, but after the results of the tests yesterday we can say the sentence that blue-and-white people brought to our consciousness, after joining the Likud government and being asked about their past statements about the prime minister and his party.

Now suddenly this matter of the actors' celebrations, which was common-sense, becomes paramount.

The director of the leagues would do well if the Torah now enforced them with a sub-validity and all the means at its disposal.

True, this is not the only problem, when you go down to Glich in front of an opposing player or take a ball out from a teammate, the chances are still high, but in a case like Maccabi Tel Aviv we have nothing but to go to the circumstantial evidence: the well-documented celebration after every goal is the immediate suspect. In an eruption.

It's his time to make sure teams and players do not round corners.

We will leave Europe aside for a moment.

The decisions there are not related to us anyway and we have no influence, whether the game is postponed or not.

It is the continuation of the activities of the Premier League that is currently in danger.

Even if the league is officially active, in its current format it is a walking corpse.

Hapoel Hadera has been darkened after one game, Sakhnin is trying to protest legally over what it has already called the "Corona game" in Netanya, and we are expected to have many more upheavals and absurd situations in which this or that team is missing 5 and 6 games, which you will have to intensively complete after several weeks. .

Competitiveness and fair opportunity are not here.

And yet, it is an industry that supports thousands of families and feeds on a money industry and much interest around it.

It is not possible to simply lower the shelter, so try to maneuver as much as possible and by existing means.

The challenge that lies ahead for the principal to continue the season is huge.

There and in the groups themselves will do everything to minimize future damage, but it is not clear how they will cope with this task.

A bubble like in the NBA cannot be produced here, and today's Israel is no longer a red country, it is a black country, completely different from the pink vision of the end of May.

Real insulation for players?

You made us laugh.

Even if they do not go to parties they will continue to shop at the supermarket or take the child out of kindergarten because what to do, they have human commitments.

What happens now will have many consequences later in the season.

It's hard to trust an immediate cut of the adhesive chain, but we seem to have reached a point where both the league manager, both the owners and the players have realized that it is no longer possible to bluff and round corners, that insulation should be insulation, that elbow celebrations should be the only trend. Gate.

Maybe now everyone, from the players to the last of the team members, will understand that this is not a recommendation, but an existential matter.
