LaLiga studies concentrations and even sole venue in the Playoff

While the end of the Second is settled in the different committees and courts, and at the same time as the Xunta, the Community of Madrid and even the Prosecutor's Office have various investigations open to clarify what happened with Deportivo-Fuenlabrada on July 20, LaLiga He continues working on having various scenarios planned in order to finish the course in the best possible way. Above all, minimizing health risks. For this reason, the employers are carefully studying the possibility of requesting (without obliging them because it may be unconstitutional) the four teams that must compete in the promotion phase (Zaragoza, Girona, Almería and Elche, if Competition does not say otherwise. ), that they concentrate in their respective sports cities or hotels until the semifinals and the final of the Playoff can be disputed. Another option, more remote and less likely, proposed by the occasional Javier Tebas collaborator, is play the remaining games in a single venue, if possible in a place where the incidence of coronavirus is minimal, as the RFEF has done with the Playoff to Segunda. In this case, only in this case, the semifinals would be played in a single match and after three days the grand final (a match), which would determine who accompanies Cádiz and Huesca to Primera. LaLiga prefers to keep going and going.

Although these options have gained strength in recent days due to the new positives that have appeared in Zaragoza and Almería, in addition to Madrid and Sevilla, LaLiga will lower these options from the confinement in that range of alternatives that it designed. In fact, the speed to dispute the last 11 days every three days was with the aim of leaving the last fortnight of July free, for fear that new problems might appear that would delay the end of the campaign, either due to the epidemic, or floods, blackouts or other incidents. The League understands that there is still plenty of time to play the Playoff as it wanted. August 16 has been set as the deadline, since the First and Second schedule for the 2020-21 season has to be circumvented and delaying it further could be a nuisance and a nuisance for UEFA. The concentrations were always a proposal by Thebes to avoid contagions and, if they did not come to fruition before, it was by force made by AFE. Now it is different because the union understands that it would be something specific (a week or two at most) and the same until necessary to be able to play.

Although LaLiga is in permanent contact with the RFEF and, above all, with AFE, He has not officially communicated to any of these institutions the plans he is considering if things continue to get complicated. Nor has it done so with the affected teams. He prefers to wait for the Competition Committee to rule, surely with some precautionary measure that allows LaLiga Smartbank to restart while it gets to the bottom of a matter which, in almost all probability, will later go through Appeal, the TAD and the ordinary courts. Even so, several representatives of LaLiga have already privately slipped in a president, manager and person in charge of different institutions who are studying all the possibilities, giving priority to those who are directed to distribute the merits on the grass, playing, and not to those who can give direct promotions (Zaragoza, as some information points out) or stays (that of Leganés, as has also been written due to an alleged administrative decline in Fuenlabrada) because the Playoff had to be suspended and the courts have imparted his justice. That, although it is another option, would be the last to adopt and the least desired.
