As temperatures have gradually dropped, a new round of COVID-19 has returned. According to the British media "Daily Telegraph", the Premier League has once again erupted in a very serious new crown epidemic in the short term, and many Premier League matches have been postponed. But what is shocking is that as many as 19 players and staff of Premier League giants Manchester United have contracted the new crown virus, resulting in the suspension of all training in the club's first team and the postponement of the game.
According to the media report, after the outbreak of the epidemic last week, 19 players and staff members of Manchester United have tested positive for nucleic acid, and 19 people have all self-isolated. According to detailed understanding, these 19 cases are not all related to the first team, but the number has also been large enough to affect the normal operation of the club and the holding of the game, because no one can predict how many more latent cases are still there.
Due to such a severe outbreak within Manchester United, Manchester United's Premier League match with Brentford was also postponed on Tuesday night. In addition to this, the club has closed the Carrington training base on Monday to reduce the spread of the virus between players and staff. But it is difficult to understand that Manchester United has only stopped the training and competition of the men's first team, but the training of women's football and youth training camps is still open to the public.
You think that's shocking enough? Something even more outrageous is yet to come, with United reopening carrington on Wednesday after shutting down the first-team training base, with healthy players in the first team back in training as United consider Saturday's match against Brighton. But outrageously, Brighton also had positive cases, and Brighton head coach Porter also announced that at least 4 players in the team tested positive for covid-19.
In other words, in the case of multiple positive cases of new crown in both teams and countless close contacts, the Premier League still hopes that the two teams will continue to play, which can be said to be a waste of money for the safety and health of players.
Previously, the Premier League side had rejected requests from Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur to postpone the match, as the Premier League side believed that the current situation in the two sides was in line with the requirements for safe play. So the Premier League still hopes that the game can continue, because the suspension not only disrupts the Premier League's plans, but also affects the speed at which they make money, after all, players are just a tool to make money in their eyes.
It should be known that in China, as long as one case or even close contacts are out, they will wait for a strict line, but in the West, there have been 19 cases, or even more, and none of them have suspended the game and quarantined, which really shocked everyone's three views.
