Leo Baptistao does not know when the league will start in China because of the coronavirus
"They have given us days off but I think that Chinese players do not like it because I don't think they enjoy it so much knowing that their families are in danger. They are pulling forward. It is something very rare that I don't think will happen again." he added.
In that line of uncertainty, he said: "We have assumptions about when the league can start but they have already changed many times. In principle we should have already returned to China, now they say we will return in mid-April. We are awaiting any information that arises ".
Seated in Andalusia since last January, he says: "It's like a pre-season of a lifetime. We train in the morning and in the afternoon, we have treatments, the Play Station, we talk to each other, we watch games ... and when there is Afternoons, we go out to eat or have coffee. "
"Everything adds up. Living together, getting along, knowing each other's situation ... We know that there are partners who are having a bad time and that creates a positive bond that when it comes to jumping into the field will come in handy," he added.
On the other hand, he talked about the spread of the virus: “At the moment in China they say that every day there is good news. Now it is growing in Europe and I think we should worry a little, avoid it from spreading much, because there you already know how to control it. ”
