Elite football returned this Saturday with the resumption of the Bundesliga, which left images and moments for history. One of them happened at the end of the Borussia Dortmund-Schalke 04, when the local players simulated gratitude to the fans despite the fact that the match was played behind empty doors.
After winning 4-0 easily in the derby of the Rühr basin, the members of the team of Lucien Favre they went towards the mythical amarilla yellow wall ’, in one of the bottoms of the Signal Iduna Park, and applauded a fans who, this time, were not in the stadium.
They did, however, without holding hands as they usually do. Why? As part of the monitoring of the security measures that condition this return of football in times of coronavirus. While the ball rolls, of course, the safety distances are not maintained, but when it does not, yes. Neither greeting between opponents in the previous, nor hugs between teammates in the celebration of each goal, or holding hands in this simulation of thanks to the fans.
