Madrid.- The coronavirus crisis slowed down the development of the competition just before entering the decisive moment of the season, on the banks of the final third of the course, when the success or failure of each of the tournaments is usually defined. The machinery stalled. Players, technicians, referees and leaders took refuge in their homes, like all, awaiting a solution and an even undecided future.
Speculations about the effects of the virus, the Kabbales about the return, assumptions and calculations, and the pessimistic, moderate and also somewhat optimistic omens engulfed the ‘days after the beginning of general confinement, a measure to which one country after the world had to be gradually and progressively added, to a greater or lesser extent, one country after another in the world. Seclusion has become routine and what at the beginning of the confinement was striking and exceptional is, almost two months later, habit and custom. Still, while the calculations on the performance replenishment, the advances of a miracle vaccine or the proliferation of tests are accentuated, the assumptions around the composition of the templates and the future of the players are also multiplied. Nothing is clear. The development of the football machinery is as diffuse as the mystery around the virus. There is only some consensus in the aftermath that the pandemic will leave and that there will be a future. And it is in the morning that hope, return to normality and encouragement are sustained. That is why talk about acquisitions, assignments, renewals and handovers have been advanced in time and have taken its bodies in this stage of seclusion ahead. They were once summer snakes. Today they’re closing signings. The big names of international football top covers. Illustrious faces, reputed characters and stars to come encourage the commitment of a future yet to define but to good dark. A major economic crisis is looming. Players take on salary breaks, clubs adjust their calculations, set ERTE, layoffs are coming and entities admit that there will be heavy losses on their bottom line. A change of scenery is adventurous. Also in football. Nothing will be like before. Still, day after day, names emerge like pieces to fit into a puzzle. In templates to be configured. The present doesn’t dissipate, but it’s scuing in the morning. Marketing has been eye-catching. Lack of activity in the teams, the desert in the leagues and the emptiness in the enclosures has rushed for these days of confinement the swing of names and triggered the rumour. Javier Tebas’s warning has failed to stop speculation. The president of LaLiga warned of the landscape that awaits football in the short term and recommended that the clubs set aside the signings and resort to the cedings to other teams and footballers in each quarry.

In recent days of confinement and they will, too, in those that are still to arrive. They’ll dance the targets and swing the numbers. Clubs can’t stop their projects, plans for the future. But the dimension has changed. A new economic scenario opens up.
Industry, like the others, is under threat. Everything will be different and the impossible operations, those that go beyond the hundred million euros will fall into oblivion. There will be no short-term transfer records. Dizzying figures and peaks like the one that set Paris Saint Germain at the time with Neymar’s 222 million, as before were the 10 billion pesetas that Real Madrid once paid for in Real Madrid. Nothing will be like that anymore. It won’t be the same. You might also be interested: Conmebol keeps in suspense restart of Copa Libertadores
