After the decision to reject the Champions League Ajax Sports Director strongly attacks the European football organization: "UEFA does not say this openly, but its statement, in fact, is that the economy is more important than dealing with the virus"
Yesterday, UEFA announced the postponement of all European enterprises including the Champions League and the European League until a new announcement following the corona's spread. To the football public across the continent.
Overmars said last night: "UEFA responds to Corona as Donald Trump responded to it a week ago. We saw where it took the United States. UEFA does not say this openly, but its statement, in fact, is that the economy is more important than dealing with the virus. Today, over 100 people have died in the Netherlands because of the virus, and you are talking about football? It's a shame and disgrace. "
The Dutch added: "Obviously, the Dutch league is not as dependent on television contracts as the major leagues - Spanish, English, Italian and German. These leagues seem to be pushing UEFA to renew the season at all costs because they understand the economic implications. UEFA also benefits from the fact that canceling the Champions League this season will cost them a fortune. There is a silence here, which is very disturbing. "
