Spit and little custom: the report of violations of the Covid protocol in the return of football | Soccer

–

Yesterday, president of the Chilean Society of Sports Medicine and member of the medical commission of the ANFP, César Kalazich, prepared a report on compliance with sanitary protocols during the return from football and sent it to the Disciplinary Court.

That report was supported by information collected from the various health supervisors who were in each party.

“The vast majority of stadiums delivered. If something was generated that was not in the protocols, they were told and complied immediately. Perhaps it is necessary to become a habit. The subject of masks is complex because some technicians believe that they are heard louder and lower them to speak, “he said in conversation with La Tercera.

However, there were teams that were reluctant to comply with health protocols. For example, one of them entered the dressing room without masks, and when it came to drawing their attention, they reluctantly put them on.

In addition, there are uncoordination in the arrival of the schools to the sports venues, which would risk a sanction.

“The protocols ask that spitting be avoided, and if it is done very often, it will get a wake-up call. The less secretions there are in the air, it is much safer. These are customs that are sometimes hard to become aware of. I don’t know if sanctions are required. In the Conmebol protocol it is sanctioned, but we have not considered it by appealing to the education of the players. If it is something that is very repetitive, we will ask that it be sanctioned, ”he said.

In that sense, the player of Santiago Wanderers, Bernardo Cerezo, He was the first to break that item of the health protocol. Upon entering the field of play at the Monumental Stadium, he spat on the grass, almost automatically.

But there are also facts to highlight. In that same duel, at halftime, the Caturro team decided to rest on the playing field and not in the dressing room.

“If some teams want to stay out, let them do it. It is complex for the coach to instruct, but the ideal would be to stay on the court, ”he said.

In the match between Palestino and Universidad de Chile something similar happened, since Matías Rodríguez had to yell at Larrivey not to hug Montillo after his goal.

“It is the lack of habit. One still understands soccer players how difficult it must be not to celebrate a goal. The players were very controlled in the celebrations. That speaks of compliance with the rules and also of professionalism “, he closed.
