The CEO of Villarreal, Fernando Roig Negueroles, stated that the club does not intend to hide anything regarding covid-19, but that it does not intend to give unnecessary information about the number of positives, so it has decided to transfer LaLiga and the health authorities these data.
Villarreal CF is one of the few clubs that has not officially announced the number of positives in his club and Roig Negueroles has explained in statements to Radio Villarreal that, in addition to not wanting to give unnecessary information, “the situation it is very changeable and every day something different can be produced. “
“There are players who have already been infected and are close to recovering, some arrive and do not test positive, but they can give it later. In addition, we are waiting to see how everyone is, and we wait a few days to see how the issue evolves for the game Monday against Levante, “he continued.
To this, it is added that from the club it is understood that this is a subject “in which the information is personal and of each player”, which confirms its idea of not offering this type of data and to this argument is added the character sports, since Roig Negueroles admits that they do not want to give clues or information to rivals either.
Regarding the year that now ends, he recalled that 2021 closes with a title that will always be remembered, but also pointed out that football “has no memory” and that now Villarreal is fully involved in the competition and cannot stop. “We are facing an exciting and complicated challenge. We are in three competitions and we want to do well in all three,” he concluded.
