UEFA issued a joint statement with the Association of European clubs, FIFPro and the Association of European leagues. It notes that the parties agreed on the following points regarding the end of the club season:
“Complete all domestic and European club competitions by the end of the current sports season, that is, no later than June 30, 2020, if the situation improves and the resumption of play is appropriate and reasonable enough.
There may be restrictions or changes to the current exclusive calendar slots, potentially leading to scheduling of domestic Champions matches in the middle of the week and scheduling of matches of UEFA club competitions on weekends. It is possible to adapt the qualifying rounds of the 2020/21 Champions League and the Europa League in the event of an untimely end of the 2019/20 sports season, that is, after June 30, 2020,” the statement reads. Almost all European Championships have been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. Euro 2020 was moved to 2021.
Shevchenko advised the fans of “Milan” in the quarantine to review winning the Champions League final with Juventus.
Former AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko spoke about the situation with coronavirus in Italy and the suspension of the Serie a season.
– I’m very careful. I play Golf, go to the gym, but try to avoid any contact as much as possible.
You can’t put up with fear, you have to look ahead. My friend from Lombardy got it. Now he was starting to breathe on his own, but it wasn’t easy for him. Lots of hot water, tea, and he’s lost a lot of weight, but he’s getting better.
I think the decision to postpone Euro 2020 is the right one. Football is a holiday for people, but if they are not there, if they are afraid, what kind of holiday is it? UEFA made the best decision for the benefit of the players and the audience.
– How do Milan fans spend their free time due to the postponement of matches?
– First, keep in shape. Eat a healthy diet, there are no problems with this in Italy.
Second, at least minimal activity. Exercise on a stationary bike – if you are bored, go out to the balcony or terrace.
Help everyone who needs it, especially the older ones. We must not forget about them, because they are in the greatest danger
– What are the matches to watch after your workouts?
– The answer is simple: the Champions League final at old Trafford “Milan” – “Juventus”. As well as the 2006 world Cup final or the Milan Derby.
The best is always ahead. Italy can be strong when faced with difficulties, and Milan is as solid as it is beautiful, ” Shevchenko said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
