Tone-deaf hypocrites! It is obscene, UEFA

another place I can well understand that UEFA, despite coronaen holding firm in the hope of settling the euro finals this summer. If it is was about football. But I'm afraid that it only happens for commercial reasons.

Exactly as we have seen in this week when UEFA, without regard to contagious and life has settled a number of matches in the Champions League. UEFA has ignored the many warnings, as governments and health organisations have issued in a steady stream.

UEFA should have cancelled all matches in both the Champions League and the Europa League, just like all the matches that must be settled at the end of the month over the whole of Europe, of course, also should be cancelled or postponed to a later date.

headquarters in Nyon in Switzerland, there is deafening silence. And therefore, there is no line in relation to, for example the Champions League. Tuesday played the Leipzig home for a full stadium against Tottenham.

on Wednesday played PSG at home in an empty stadium against Dortmund. At the same time, Liverpool had a champions league against Atletico Madrid filled Anfield to last place. Including 3000 fans from Madrid, a city that is in alarming red, when we talk about coronavirussen. It cries to heaven.

another club from Madrid, Getafe, have found out, that one should not challenge fate. Getafe had the Thursday night play in Milan against Christian eriksen's Inter. The fight would UEFA have implemented, even though Milan is basically the epicenter for coronaen in Italy. Only then Getafe quite understandably refused to fly to Italy, had UEFA to bend the knee.

natural things have La Liga in the same way as the organization of division in Denmark are closed for the national football the next two weeks. But with the tone-deaf hypocrites in the UEFA, there is still total silence.

It is only just over a week ago, that UEFA's president, Aleksander Ceferin, delivered an incendiary speech at the congress in Amsterdam. Selvglæden was huge, and he said among other things:

- When the purpose of profit becomes the profit of the objectives, it is time to sound the alarm. Football is not a business like any other. Football has history, traditions and structure, which must be respected.

we can all see that it was just hot air. Profit is the only reason that UEFA do not have closed down for the european tournaments and the upcoming matches. DBU sits like so many other national associations and is waiting for a response from Nyon. But when it does come, must DBU even take the decision and cancel the Denmark's two matches last month against the Faroe islands and England. Everything else would be indecent.

And what's up with EM for the summer? Coronaen has become a pandemic, and there is nothing to suggest that the number of infected people in Europe will decline on a provisional basis. The tournaments in Italy, Spain, Denmark and a number of other countries are set, and it means that there later comes a tremendous pressure on the calendar to get settled postponed matches.

the end of march UEFA have to take a decision about EM. If the pandemic continues to evolve in a negative direction, do ' EM exposed. In 2021, there is no place. Next summer unwinds the women european championship in England, and FIFA has the premiere of their new WORLD cup with 24 participants in the China.

however, For the summer of 2022 free, because the WORLD cup that year is shifted to november/december in Qatar. But the two finals in the same year seems like a tremendous load. All the questions I tried along with a number of colleagues to ask Aleksander Ceferin last week in Amsterdam. He slipped arrogant of them all, and simply said: Let us now be positive.
