The epidemic often put him in chaos. He should not only protect himself well, but also care about Italy’s movements at any time. In addition, he should take good care of the club’s players.

American Football League (MLS) it is one of the most diversified football leagues in the world, which is a major advantage of SLS. However, with the continuous spread of the new Crown pneumonia epidemic, there are no eggs under the nest, players and coaches who play or coach in the league should not only worry about their own safety, but also worry about their families overseas all the time.
According to media statistics, the registered players of this season are from 74 countries and regions, which makes SLS one of the most diversified football leagues in the world. In contrast, Premier League players come from 63 countries and regions, Bundesliga players also come from 63 countries and regions, Serie A has 65 countries and regions, and La Liga has 52 countries and regions.
At present, the epidemic is still spreading around the world. These players and coaches who play or coach across the ocean in North America are feeling this dilemma of internal and external troubles. This season’s MLS only played for two weeks and was suspended due to the epidemic. Players had no ball to play, and salary shrinking in the future was also a high probability event. Although these foreign players and coaches basically have spouses and children around them, other relatives and friends are overseas, and they cannot return to their countries or regions to visit them for the time being. It is conceivable that they are anxious in their hearts.
Henry, the former French superstar and the current manager of the Montreal shock team, is one of them, and France is also one of the countries suffering from the huge impact of the epidemic. He said: “Now there is the same epidemic all over the world, and the whole world has become the same country. No matter where you are, you will miss your family and your relatives and friends. I hope they can stay at home and don’t get infected. What I can do now is to make a phone call with my family as much as possible to see how they are doing and whether the supplies to deal with the epidemic are sufficient.”
The former Italian golden boy and former Italian international joined Giuseppe Rossi this season Real Salt Lake, but they did not expect that Italy was still in hot water because of the epidemic. “I have many relatives in Italy. Not only can I go back to see them now, they haven’t seen each other for a month or two. Even if they live very close, this is really worrying.”
Venezuela coach Savarese currently teaches Portland Loggers club. Although he was born and raised in Venezuela, his parents were Italian and eventually moved back to Italy to live. The epidemic often put him in chaos. He should not only protect himself well, but also care about Italy’s movements at any time. In addition, he should take good care of the club’s players.
“The situation in Italy is still difficult at present. My relatives still dare not take to the streets. It is really sad to see so many people die. Some of my relatives and neighbors are infected, and these relatives are more worried about their own safety.” Savarese said.
Currently, almost all the SLS teams are using various video chat tools to keep communication with players so that problems can be solved at any time. Savarese feels the situation of foreign players in the team and thinks they need to be more concerned. He said: “Although the club does not play at present, it keeps in touch with the players at any time. If foreign players have any difficulties, the team will try its best to help them solve them.”
Olsen, the head coach of Washington, D. C., feels the same way. “These players from overseas can certainly get less support than local players, and they need more attention. In this difficult time, everyone can only watch and help each other.”
