Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, confessed this Sunday that he "would like" the league championship to return on June 12, although he acknowledged that he does not know the exact date to resume the competition because everything will depend on whether there are spikes in coronavirus infections.

"I would like the League to start on June 12, but I don't know what will happen. We do not rush. It will depend on whether there are spikes or not. That does not depend on football, but on Spanish society, ”said Tebas, during an interview on the El Partidazo #VolverEsGanar program, from Movistar.

Once the medical tests were completed on the minimum essential personnel of the clubs to start training, LaLiga reported that five cases of asymptomatic positive soccer players were detected.

"In a universe of 2,500 tests there have only been five positive players and three more members of the technical bodies. We expected 25 or 30 per statistical issue, so this data is good news for the soccer industry and for Spain, ”said the president of LaLiga.

 

 

Thebes revealed that when the competition starts in June, "if the players and coaches do things right, there shouldn't be any infected."

“If there were several cases when the time came it would be negligence because there are established protocols. When the competition arrives, 24 hours before, all the players will be tested and in the game itself, if the PCR has been done, the infection is practically impossible, "he said.

 

"We have carried out a study that we will present in the next few days that indicates that where there is less risk is in the parties and more in their homes, but I am confident that all will comply with the general sanitary regulations," said the president of LaLiga, who for the moment it does not shuffle concentrations of players ”.

Javier Tebas stressed on several occasions that it is "possible to return to football, only that you have to adapt to the circumstances, which are very complicated."

In this sense, the top leader of LaLiga acknowledged that "no opposition has been found, but ignorance in the comments of what can and cannot be done."

“Soccer is not a shock sport to transmit the disease easily because the coronavirus is not transmitted through sweat, it is transmitted through saliva. The risk in a match will be practically zero, almost non-existent, "said Tebas, who stressed that" the possibility of failure of the tests that will be carried out on the players is five percent. "

Javier Tebas said that "First and Second will return on the same dates", although he did point out that in Second, not depending on European competitions, "they could get into August a little".

The president of LaLiga said he was "optimistic" about the return of soccer because "soccer can also be the spearhead for people to see it."

 

"To return is to win," said Tebas, who revealed that when the competition returns, there will be matches "every day from the first day to the last." “We are close, but there are still fences to jump. We are on the right track ”, he concluded.
