Xinhua News Agency, London, May 14 (Reporter Zhang Wei) British culture minister daodeng said on the 14th that the British government was opening the door for the safe return of professional football in June. This makes the Premier League, which has been aiming at re-launch in June, see more hope.
On that day, dodden hosted a meeting with football field managers, including the Football Association, the Premier League and the English Football League in charge of the Champions League, the English Football League and the English Football League, discuss the plan to restart the league next month.
Dowdon said after the meeting: “We all agree that we will move forward only under the premise of safety, and ensuring the well-being of players, coaches and staff is always the primary principle.” However, he said that “the government is opening the door for the safe return of competitive football in June”, and now it is the turn of football management agencies to finally complete the details of their restart plan and get passed.
Last month, dodden publicly suggested that after the Premier League resumed, he chose some free live broadcasts, saying, “as one of the most important events, if the game is empty after the restart, but many people have no channel to watch the game, it may not be the best message”. On the 14th, daodeng also stressed again that the football return plan should include allowing more fans to see the live broadcast.
The Premier League was suspended on March 13 due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus outbreak. Since 13th day of this month, elite athletes in Britain have been allowed to resume training on the premise of ensuring a 2-meter social distance, the Premier League also hopes that from next week, clubs can resume team training under the condition of strict control measures. To this end, the Premier League has asked players and coaches for advice this week, and will organize another 20 clubs to hold meetings and discuss on the 18th.
