The Minister of Health has coordinated a videoconference to which they were summoned the captains of the four teams Spaniards who have played the Champions League this season and in which Carvajal, Gerard Piqué, Koke Resurrección and Illarramendi have finally participated. The minister has taken the pulse of the players in just over a week for the restart of the League Championship. Salvador Illa has been accompanied by Fernando Simón, the director of health emergencies and by Irene Lozano, president of the CSD. The captains of Madrid, Sergio Ramos, and of Barça, Leo Messi, have excused their presence and have delegated to Carvajal and Piqué. The meeting was advanced yesterday Monday by this newspaper.
In the telematic meeting, Salvador Illa has been interested in the shape of the footballers And he has guaranteed them that the protocol approved by his ministry is “the most advanced in Europe”, although logically zero risk does not exist. The footballers, meanwhile, have let the minister know that they wished they had “a little more time” before going back to compete. It is in this matter that Piqué has insisted, who has already made the same claim to Thebes.
During the meeting, Carvajal excused the presence of Sergio Ramosbut he said that Madrid players respect and trust the standards approved by Health. The most active was Gerard Piqué, who since Monday night had promised to attend instead of Messi, as this newspaper reported exclusivelyto. The surprise at the meeting was the presence of Illarramendi, player of Real Sociedad, and the absence of Dani Parejo, from Valencia. La Real is currently in Champions League positions, while Valencia have participated in this edition.
