What to expect in soccer this season

[Ucy]

I see that some big leagues let fans to visit stadiums, like Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Ekstraklasa or Belgian league. There is limited number of fans there, but it gives much more enjoyable experience while watching games. I hope other leagues will follow these examples. Limited number of spectators with distancing between them don't put people in danger.
Actually, I missed live football so much that now I'm visiting games of my local team, despite that they are playing in 4th or 5th division and players are just amateurs who are playing after work .
Seems that Virus is here to stay for long, so I think we should return to normal life as much as possible in such occasion.
And I think that players getting Covid-19 will be normal thing this season, something like injuries. And if they are team leaders and they will have to go into quarantine, we can expect some strange results.

Personally i will not suggest you or anyone else to go to stadium for watching live matches but you can express your love by supporting your favorite team through social media. Just like you can easily post your line on their official posts which will definitely inspire team boys.

I'm not really sure how it can inspire players? Could you elaborate.

I like the way you think and have spoken. Well said.
The matches I view these days seems more like a training in session without the fans at their post booing and cheering up players. You know that celebration when a player scores and races to salute the fans, the tension the fans build in the players to increase performance, the noise to raise enthusiasm and others, they are all gone.
It's just not like soccer without fans.
The Covid19 has spent almost the whole year with us already, if it's here to stay, then we've just got to get used to it and keep the vulnerable that includes the aged persons and those with pulmonary or heart related diseases. From my view point, almost people of every endeavor are out in their various fields now. We are all tired, it feels like living in captivity.

I sometimes wonder how they would  handled the situation if there were no television, social media, internet etc... would they still take the extreme approaches? Or send the spectators back home if there is another crisis?
The sides involved in making decisions in this crisis seem to be holding strongly to what they think is right rather working together and copying each other good/reasonble ideas.

Expect things to be quite normal in socccer, NBA already resumed their season amidst the pandemic by following all the protocols from players to staff. In fact NBA is on conference finals which we can clearly conclude that it might just happen to any sports even soccer.

It may happen, as the sports commissions can do the same, by following  all government  protocols this favorite sports may
also track the same path as NBA.

The only thing they will weigh is the person involve in the sports,, as we know players on field in soccer is more than in basketball so that might be a factor also.

Considering that fact, there are many people that involved to this sport but likewise if government protocols will be followed
it will be able to survive and continue the season.

I am sure they can handle that, even if no television, social media because right now, we have the internet, which can help them broadcast the match to the public. They will be able to get their audience while the audience is at their homes. But it will be different than before because we are in the pandemic which we don't know when it will end. At least, the audience could still get entertainment in the sports industries.

This pandemic really affects most of the games that we love like basketball, soccer and etc. This new season, I would love to support them also by betting the team that I love while looking also for the best odds that are going to offer by the casino owners.

This season will definitely affect the players also as there are players who can give their full potential if there are many supporters around them but because of this covid19 there will be less supporters or even none if it is not allowed, let see if how those players will adjust to the situation

This Covid-19 pandemic surely had detrimental impacts on every aspect of our lives. And now this, the things we enjoy doing, has been affected also. For sure there will be restrictions in accordance with health protocols in compliance with the new normal. But I do hope that players’ performance would not be affected by these restrictions. I hope for the best results.

The biggest impact of coronavirus on the sports is that most of the sports and soccer matches will be played without the crowd. Even though this should not impact the performance of the players but there is some physiological advantage when the players see a lively crowd in the stadium. Playing in empty stadium is something new for the players.

I definitely agree with you. The liveliness of the audience certainly brings some type of vibe that consequently impact the mood of the players as well. If only this Covid pandemic would end and just vanish. I miss the old days.

With the advent of Covid19 almost destroying all that we love about the game, laying waste to our owning ceremonies and award presentation culture and sports in general. Here is the start of a new season for fans of soccer. Now that we can't watch from the arena, what's the best way to cheer up our heroes on the pitch to let them know we've got love for them and the team or perhaps, how to help them out their minds in the game?

Send them notes and give them shout out to their social media pages and let hem know that you are behind team all the way also encourage other fans to do the same, team will understand the situation and they are playing now because they believe that their fans are cheering them at home

Few months back when some of the leagues resumed the season, one of the biggest difference was the home advantage from different leagues. I don't know the stats but you'll notice that some teams started underperforming at the last few games of the previous season. Now that we're in the new season I expect visiting teams to get more draws or maybe pull an upset now that home advantage isn't the same as it used to be. The second match of PSG is one example where they lost at home vs Marseille.

The pandemic virus is still not gone and in order for us to be safe, they wouldn't be allowed any sports to execute to avoid the risk of spreading the virus, which is really good, imagine if those sports will happen, the social distancing will not be followed. We should set aside first the sports betting while the pandemic is still there, we can change the game we want to play as of this situation, we may play online gambling, like black jack, poker or anything just to avoid attachment from other people.

[dothebeats]

Probably not as intense as the previous seasons pre-COVID19. Most teams or players would surely feel somewhat demotivated on playing since there are no crowds, and even if championship is on the line, there’s no one who will hype them up to score those goals and defend viciously against attackig enemies. It would seem to feel like it’s more of a practice game rather than a real match. Admit it or not, the crowd cheering for their teams certainly add up to the morale of the players, and without it I don’t think they’re gonna give it they’re all. There’s also the anxiety of playing with someone that may have the virus, so yeah, kinda sucks.

Just endure it.

The covid19 won't be that long when vaccines are already made. Many vaccine makers are on their way to the creation of it, they're all in the particular last trial for its completion.

The actual audience is still different but just endure it while we're not yet back to normal.

[bitbunnny]

It will be different from any other season. No audience and strict epidemic rules that might become even harsher with coming of fall.
Without audience and lack of competitions some teams might get demotivated and their paycheck might get lower too.
I think soccer will survive although with severe consequences and the question is whether we will ever get back to normal.

[Smartvirus]

Surely there paycheck would drop and it would be a rather very uncomfortable situation for the players. Having to adjust and live a life they are no longer use to and thoughts of it might be brought along to the pitch, which can make the team have a bad game.
The Covid19 totally destroyed last champions league. Something that we celebrate even outside the pitch and viewing centers, we viewed as though we were in sorrow.
I can still recall the last two finals that Real Madrid won, with players flagging their country, dancing on the pitch, smiling and waving at fans, drinking and snapping with the UCL Trophy and more. But now, everything is just a hurry to live the pitch.
The silver lining in the dark clouds is got to start shining.

[AniviaBtc]

Even if we can't support our favorite teams and cheer them up while they are in the arena, there are a lot of things that we can do to cheer them up.

Social media is a powerful tool to support the teams that we want. Soccer has a lot of community supporters and a lot of fan so it is never become worthless, there are still platforms where we can show our love and support in that sports, by merch, by sports betting, and campaigns. Football is really the most popular sports in Europe and other countries besides basketball, but still they can continue the season just like what NBA did.

They just need to follow the safety protocols in order to put it into place and prevent spreading the disease to other players and staffs.

[MCobian]

Even though soccer this season is very different, because it is still in a pandemic situation. We must still be grateful because we can
still watch our favorite team play, even though we can only watch from home. And most importantly, sports betting can still run,
so I can still play sports betting every week. Indeed, the excitement of the match was slightly reduced, due to the absence of crowd
at the stadium. But it doesn't matter to me, because we must be able to adapt to the current situation.

Every pandemic and situation is different. Few months back no one was sure when the sports will be resumed. Many people though that it may not resume in 2020 but thanks to the players and the management who have arranged the matches keeping in view the pandemic precautions. We can afford to have no crowd in the stadium but at least we have the option to watch these live matches on our TV screens and also can bet on them.

Slowly everything is getting to the normal condition. During the pandemic people weren't allowed to watch from the stadium,now with limitations limited number of audience were allowed to watch the match. As said there is less chance to watch matches few months back, now people have known better about the virus and has begun to follow all the guidelines putforth by the government. Particularly more players got affected and now slowly everyone getting into the practice session. So, the rescheduled leagues will commence one by one.

that is actually the important thing - their game is already happening live, minus the audience. but yeah, at least betting on this sports is alive again. dont ask too much as the vaccine is not yet out. maybe when the vaccine is already available to the public, thats the time that they will think to accept audience again in the stadium. but for now, be grateful that sports are coming on the air again.

[Cullly]

You can cheer on the players online, but now you still have to be careful not to gather and pay more attention to health issues.
