Danny Rose Speaks Against Resumption of League
England and Tottenham left-fullback Danny Rose have strongly opposed the Project Restart program which is aimed at resuming the league. Club officials met on yesterday to discuss the resumption and venues which will be used to complete the season.
The English Premier League is looking to resume their elite league on the 12th of June. Danny Rose has said it is not right to be discussing the resumption of the league now with the number of infected cases. Presently England has a total of 32,065 deaths from the virus across the United Kingdom.
Danny Rose also said “Football shouldn’t even be spoken about until the numbers have dropped massively.” The 29-years-old player added that people’s lives are still at risk and they are talking about resumption of league.
Danny Rose is currently on loan at Newcastle United from Tottenham Hotspurs, said on his social media, using expletives and saying he did not care about the nation’s morale.
Danny Rose is not the only player who have this motive, Norwich City’s 22-year-old English midfielder Todd Cantwell also posted on social media saying: “We are just people too.” Manchester City and Argentina striker Sergio Aguero has previously said players are “scared” about the prospect of returning to action amid the pandemic.
Also Raheem Sterling is not in support, the 25-year-old Manchester City and England forward said: “The moment we do go back it just needs to be a moment where it’s not just for footballing reasons; it’s safe for not just us footballers but the whole medical staff, referees.
“I feel like once that side of the people’s safety and the players’ safety is secured, and their wellbeing is looked after, then that’s the right time to go back in. “Until then, I’m. – how can I say – not scared, but reserved and thinking what the worst outcome could be.
“I’ve had friends whose grandmas passed away. I’ve had family members as well that have passed away. You’ve got to be wise and take care of yourself and those around you.”
