The race director, Mauro Vegni, went to the cyclists’ hotel to meet with the directors and discuss the situation with them. Hence the decision to cancel the second edition of the Tour of the United Arab Emirates, the only one of the World Tour in the Middle East.

According to news from the authorities, all the people staying in both hotels must pass health controls to rule out infections, and if positive, establish the precise protocol.

It was his own team that announced the positive of its runner through a statement. Likewise 1 x bet, the Russian squad also announced that three other runners are undergoing additional tests to see if they have tested positive for coronavirus.

Strakhov made a statement to reassure all those who have been interested in his state of health. "After passing a fifth test at the hotel, I was told that I had tested positive for coronavirus and that I had to go to the hospital. It is true that I did not see the results of the tests. At the hospital I have had additional tests, a blood test, and the results will be reported to me in a few days. While I wait, I feel normal, I am following all the security measures and I hope this situation is resolved soon".

The Tour of the Emirates is suspended due to the coronavirus

The Tour of the Arab Emirates peloton, free of coronavirus

It should be remembered that Gazprom-Rusvelo and UAE Emirates are the two teams that still remain in caurentena in a hotel in Abu Dhabi since the race was suspended on February 27 when the existence of two positives for coronavirus was known.

This Arsenal de Arteta continues in free fall. Today, a new defeat and one of those that hurt against an unstoppable Wolverhampton in transitions. He bit in the first half to get ahead in the first half and endured as the canons send in the second to seal a very valuable victory. The power of Adama and Pedro Neto were key. The ‘gunners’ make waters in defense.

Incidents

Emirates Stadium (behind closed doors).

Full-blown superiority of the Wolves in the first two halves. Yes, there were three times on the Emirates. The first lasted five minutes, until David Luiz and Raúl Jiménez collided their heads at the exit of a corner. The Mexican left on a stretcher. Then came the second half, where Wolverhampton showed that not a game stopped for ten minutes cooled the initial intensity.

The ‘wolves’ passed over a flimsy Arsenal with legs. Those of Adama, Pedro Neto, Podence and company. Physical and technical display of Nuno’s top men, who were able to finish the game before the break. Arsenal’s long holdings were of no use. Because Wolverhampton, based on transitions, created danger when they wanted. Until Adama went into action. The Spaniard broke Tierney and crossed, Dendoncker headed the crossbar and Pedro Neto picked up the rebound to open the can.

Arsenal wanted to react with Gabriel’s header, but not even 1-1 changed the direction of the ‘wolves’. They knew each other superior and went ahead again on the scoreboard. Adama started, Pedro Neto took the witness and his shot was taken advantage of by Podence, after a ‘delicatessen’ chopping the ball, to beat Leno. Before the break, the Spaniard scored 1-3, but missed his shot in the area. Disaster ‘gunner’ in defense, especially behind the sides.

"There was no medical error, nothing could be done for Diego"

The chilling image of Raúl Jiménez

Arsenal improved in the resumption and Saka was able to tie the duel to the center of Bellerín. But the ‘wolves’ were also able to kill the counter, especially with a stellar Pedro Neto and plenty of legs. But it was Podence who, after breaking Holding, had the 1-3 in his hand. Then the ‘gunner’ team gained ground again as the minutes passed. Wolverhampton was already doing well. He waited behind, closed ranks and only conceded a forced header from Aubameyang. Fair victory.

Barça are already on their way to Valladolid, where that night they will face Sergio González’s team, corresponding to the fifteenth day of the Santander League.

The Catalans have headed to the Pucelana capital after training at the Ciutat Esportiva. Ronald Koeman has decided to speed up the start time since the match will be played at 10 pm, and possibly in an environment with low temperatures.

The Catalans cannot let the three points escape, after the draw against Valencia, so they will have to go all out against a team that occupies the eighteenth place in the standings, with 14 points.

Messi: “I’d rather win the League again than get another Pichichi”

A breath of fresh air

Koeman is likely to line up an offensive team to seek victory from the first minute, although Valladolid have shown efficiency at home.

The one who was president of FC Barcelona between 2000 and 2003, Joan Gaspart, has once again reviewed Luis Figo’s escape to Real Madrid, which took place on the same day he won the elections to the presidency of the Blaugrana club.

Ex-Barça president Gaspart reiterates that Figo’s move to Real Madrid was illegal

Gaspart maintains that the operation was illegal: "It was a genius of Florentino, but illegal". And he reiterates that Figo would have continued at Barça if he had wanted to: "It was a case that was won in the courts yes or yes, but Figo was afraid that they could claim the penalty that his representative had signed on his behalf".

It should be remembered that at that time, Figo was in negotiations to renew his contract with Barça and to pressure the Barça board, his representative, José Veiga, committed to the then Real Madrid presidential candidate Florentino Pérez if he won the elections. The agreement included a penalty of three million euros (500 million pesetas then) in the event of non-compliance by the footballer.

Barça, calm with Lautaro: He wants to come and will not renew for now

"I offered him all the legal guarantees, that we were going to fight him, that it was a case of illegality. That he was calm about that"explains Gaspar, who adds: "But no, he wanted a guarantee from La Caixa. It was midnight, I had just been elected president and I found that. It couldn’t be. Nowhere. Neither for time, nor for the substance of what I asked".

Italy woke up with the impossible dream of Messi

20 years have passed, but Gaspart continues to consider that case as a betrayal of Figo, but he does not regret the decision he made: "Maybe we could do more, but it would have meant straining the club’s economy".

Former Portuguese soccer player Luis Figo, former player of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan, recalled in a statement his move from Barcelona to Real Madrid in the summer of 2000, 20 years ago, an operation that would now be "more difficult", although he warned that "nothing is impossible in football".

"It may be more difficult, but nothing is impossible in football. Who was going to say 20 years ago that you would pay so much for a player? People remember less that I came to Barça to replace Laudrup, who had just signed for Real Madrid", Figo explained in statements to the ‘Sports Club’.

The former Portuguese player considered that now the clubs "take more precautions" with "very high termination clauses", although he admitted that in his case he never thought that the termination clause that he had then would be paid, which was 10,000 million pesetas (60 million euros).

"I always thought that no one would be able to pay my clause", admitted the Portuguese player, who remembered his first game at the Camp Nou with the white jersey. "It cannot be denied that it was going to be special, but not with the dimensions it acquired"Figo recalled.

The Portuguese winger considered that the time of Madrid of the ‘Galacticos’ was "a very beautiful time", in which he won the Ballon d’Or, a trophy that by then was "more difficult" because there were more players who opted for him.
