This is not possible. And not only in France but all over the world. Clubs will collapse! This is not possible. There is no recipe”.

Bernard LaPorte strongly feared the collapse of the sports world, “Will be bankrupt for restaurants, but also in sports world”.

If I were told that we keep 1 person for every 4 seats in a stadium and 1 person for every 8 seats in a closed room, it would seem logical to me “.
