And that’s why we are going to give answers soon, “said Rubiales in the ‘Play Time’ program of the COPE Network.
“We have the commission for monitoring the coronavirus crisis activated, we continue working. We already said this at the press conference, whichthe sporting part stopped but the administrative followed 100%. And, if possible, it now requires a tremendous effort because there are many doubts, there are many calls, many uncertainties that we must try to answer every day, “he said.
“By now, any of us may have the virus or may have been in contact with someone who has it. What I do believe is that the measures that have been taken and especially the conversations with the CSD, that we maintain every day, are going to help that from now on that curve begins to go down, which is what we all want, “he said. insured.
“We activate the protocols before anyone elseWe tried to measure up, we were very close, we saw the problem coming and we made ourselves available to the CSD, after the Ministry of Health and the Administration itself. It is clear that, when I called this delegated commission on Monday and on Tuesday we were already talking about suspending and on Wednesday everything was suspended except professional football, which was suspended on Thursday, at the beginning there were people a little more reluctant, “he recalled.

And I am happy about that within the tremendous difficulty we have, “added Rubiales, noting that” on a daily basis “he remains” in contact with Aleksander Ceferin “to discuss the future of the Euro Cup next summer.

But we are already working to respond to all these scenarios and very soon, very soon, we will speak first with the soccer agents and then with the media so that they are aware of what will happen depending on what is happening, “he said. continued.

“There is no doubt that everything that is decided in Europe can changeOr it can influence the measures we each take in our own federation, “he said.” The federation has done its homework well and we know that we have a high level of security. But it must also be said that in the poor man’s house the penalties are greater. And in that aspect we are waiting for the most modest football, “he stressed.
“It won’t be long before there is an answer to all the questionswhich are already being considered in football and indoor football among the most modest teams, “insisted the president of the RFEF, who on March 17 would meet by videoconference with Ceferin and the UEFA senior staff to decide what to do with football on the ‘Old Continent’.
