“From the outside, every now and then I see things that are difficult to understand. However, if everyone has their say on this one, it will never end.
“The hope is to bring people back into the stadiums as soon as possible, in compliance with the evolution of the contagions.”
“The data tells us that we have gone from 6m viewers to 3.5m. There are still seven games left, I don’t know what will happen.

“Virtue had to be made out of necessity.”
