On Sunday, "La Liga" president Javier Tebas, speaking with "Movistar", mentioned that the season in Spain could be resumed as early as June 12. "I would like the season to resume on June 12, but much will depend on the overall situation in the country. Key decisions will be made by health institutions. We do not want to rush," Tebas said on Sunday. However, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique rushed to oppose the "La Liga" president and stated that players might need more time to prepare properly, but the footballer assured that he would like to finish the season as well.
"I understand the league's intention to finish the season, as much is at stake. Despite currently being leaders, we would not really want to triumph in such a strange way. I heard that the league president is talking about resuming the season on June 12. Without football, we have spent a lot of time and we need to understand that we need to significantly reduce the risk of injuries. If I could express my opinion, I would say that we may need a little more time to prepare.
The league leaders communicate excellently with the players, and Javier Tebas himself dedicates a lot of time to it. Some people feel a huge fear of this virus, so we must ensure that everyone complies with safety requirements," Pique explained in a conversation with "Movistar".
"Barca" is currently the leader of "La Liga", but Madrid's "Real" is just two points behind.
