The protocol also applies to women’s football, futsal and all youth categories.. In addition, it is studied how to finish the minor categories, although studies and health will always be above the calendar and its definitive closure for this season is not ruled out.By last, The RFEF guarantees that it will maintain the existing Mixed Commission to give full guarantee to non-professional soccer players and to also provide ease of payment to the clubs. In addition, as explained by the federal body in its statement, the Salary Guarantee Fund will double to correct any unsuspected situation that may arise around this crisis. Luis Rubiales has made a proposal based on an end to the express championship with no more regular season matches, with playoffs and no relegation. The break of non-professional football is a serious problem for the Second B and Third clubs, which not only lose a significant amount of income, but also face an uncertain end of season with the need to play a Playoff that, under normal conditions , drags the competition until the beginning of July. For this reason, ProLiga sent a letter to the RFEF in search of answers and today the body has presented its alternative.The RFEF, through a press release on its website, has reported that it has contacted the territorial federations after the meeting held with the CSD and has made an innovative proposal. There would be an express promotion mechanism through the usual Playoff, but eliminating the round trip, to leave it in a single match. In this way, they would remain promotions guaranteed promised at the beginning of the season. The remaining days would not be played. However, the competition would change as Luis Rubiales also adds the suppression of declines.
Robert Moreno, Spanish coach of Monaco, He said this Wednesday that his time as coach, in which he classified Spain for the Eurocup, served him, above the controversial final that he had, to demonstrate to himself that he was “ready to lead any team.”Moreno made no secret that he had a bad time when Luis Enrique’s return was made official. “As soon as I left the team, the initial impact was strong due to the situation I had to live in. Those days I tried to isolate myself with my family. I did not hear anything, nor did I read the press for all the things that were published. All the lies that they were saying about me “, he stated in ‘The Coaches Voice’.Robert, however, drew positive conclusions from his time in the national team: “It served to demonstrate to myself that I was ready to coach any team because if you coach the Spanish team, you can coach any team. There are the best players “From the moment he took office and was first coach for the first time in his career, he felt “the responsibility of being the one who makes the last decisions” and “the person who leads a human group.”“Above all, I have to thank the players for their behavior. They made everything very easy. They already knew all the ‘staff’ and knew what to expect. We talked about it clearly in the first talk. The way of working that we had always had was very consensual. And so it would continue. Ideas belong to everyone. Everything is talked about, “he said.The changesIt was the moment in which he introduced news regarding the work of Luis Enrique, who detailed: “From that moment, yes it happened to be me. I tried to develop new ideas, for example making the line of three with interiors, keeping a structure a little more fixed, a different occupation of spaces. But following the great lines that we had until that moment “. The biggest changes in his life were accused by Robert Moreno “outside the dressing room”, where reveals that the Federation asked him to make himself known. “Life changes you a lot when you become a coach. When I assumed the position, one of the first things I complained about was not appearing in the media, out of respect for the whole situation that had been lived up to that moment, but the Federation asked to do it, “he said.“You are a coach. We need people to know you. They asked me to do so and I did so. The entire media part, which for me until then was non-existent, came to play an important role. Somehow, I had to introduce myself to people and I began to live with all that. People recognize you on the street, you have to make decisions that you were not used to making, you appear in the media to give interviews. I tried to manage it as naturally as always, “he stressed.The most positive part of his adventure as coach, he assured, was to make his “passion” come true “and start his career as head coach in a unique position:” It was a wonderful thing that I tried to enjoy to the fullest. It is a position charged with responsibility, for all that involved having to qualify the selection for the European Championship. ““In the end we were able to develop it very successfully. The results and the game are there. I am very proud. Many times we take it for granted that qualifying for a great championship is easy, but football is increasingly difficult. Rodrigo’s goal in the last minute, which already involved qualifying, was an explosion of enormous joy for all the responsibility they had given me, but also before those who had doubted me and my preparation, “he said.

It should be fun, and it makes the sport much more exciting,” said Bolt.Bolt is looking to win gold medals in the 100m and 200m at three straight Olympic Games.
THE Jamaican Jockey Agents Association, led by President Donovan Wilson, has joined the jockeys, grooms and Jamaica Racehorse Trainers associations in dismissing claims of affiliation to either of the two bidders involved in Government’s divestment of Caymanas Track Limited (CTL).The agents, who solicit rides on behalf of jockeys – liaising with trainers – are recognised and licensed by the Jamaica Racing Commission.In a press release signed by Wilson, the agents association said it “endorses the position taken by the racehorse trainers association, the grooms’ association and the Jamaica Jockeys’ Association, as specified in their press release, regarding the neutrality of all associations in relation to the current bid for divestment”.”We also stand with them in their declared stance not to endorse or support any action that involves the sale of any asset or land owned by CTL,” the agents’ release stated.Over a week ago, the trainers, jockeys and grooms issued a joint press release, declaring their neutrality in the process while stating they were “totally against” any proposed sale involving any of Caymanas Park’s 196 acres on which the horse-racing plant operates in Portmore, St Catherine.SAFEGUARDING LIVELIHOODThe jockeys’ agents, in their release, further stated that Government should include a clause to guard against any long-term closure of the racetrack.”We implore that a clause be placed within the divestment negotiations that guarantee that, in the event that local racing ceases to be held at the CTL racetrack for a period of more than three months, that the lease of the property would be voided and the property revert to the control of the Jamaican government,” the release added.This clause, Wilson said, would safeguard his members’ livelihood.”My membership is involved in a very specific profession and they can only earn their living if local racing is functioning.
