a virus spread. why do we panic and when we'll all. come for just 3 of the topics covered and. if you would like to make more information on the coronavirus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast. get your podcast you can also find us at. science but. i don't like it to be honest. with you.

it's a phenomenon affecting all of the top lakes the leading teams over how far fewer points than it was. same stage in recent years. and coaches know exactly why. ask the others who are in the song mom mom is on don't need to use don't need to use a lock or wanted to through 640 gig suits 34 to give it's one game after another this season even more than in previous years on average the reigning champions of the top 5 lakes played $22.00 matches and a $101.00 days between september and the end of december. if you look do you like to do it like you always do before. coronavirus mental e seasons began much later than usual and even without internationals some teams have matches every $4.00 days on average a doctor told us aside from being increasingly injury prone another effect is

obviously players decreasing ability to perform. there are no breaks and on top of that stars are having to play in empty stadiums that can help with motivation right. just for these guys this was under this and this is going to be. sure to get. in touch with who's going to go to play instead of memphis it's boring and might be. unusually silent stadiums and extreme workloads a combination that doesn't help performances so what can players do things that are really twice and thrice trying to think about the times when. everyone agrees too much is too much but as some point out it is what it is. the time for me to get done most of it to kind of dignity for. power through that's

what we're all doing and ultimately the task is the same as ever. can. the knicks are not as modern as an i thought is and for the most on the job or the demands of jet a folk d. of tender question i named systems person of good on passed on on just bestsellers to to do it sort of not and cry and certainly are making the best of things they ended 2020 top of the table and with more points than after the same number of games in the previous season 6 points more in fact buy and both have been the exception to the rule. aside from then almost all the european top clubs clearly suffered between the start of the season and the end of december spain england france italy the extra strain has visibly left its mark on their performances. to do.

sit back take a deep breath. look at the scheduling and use common sense now i think is an important time to look up to the players. his players in particular had a hectic schedule between late november and late december. so what does the fixture of pileup lead to. quality drops off the game just isn't as visually appealing. of course you get underperforming teams every year but you never seen this many title favorites misfiring at the same time. let's look at how many points the dominant sides of the last few years have won at the start of 2021 it was noticeable that most of them apart from bahrain had far fewer than after the same number of games last season for example liverpool had 13 points fewer than last season and 11 fewer than in 201819. manchester city had

3 fewer than last season 12 fewer than the previous year and 14 fewer than in 201718. barcelona were 9 points behind their tally from last season 6 from the previous year and 14 from the year before that. event us up to 13 games were 11 points off the pace set last season 13 from the previous season and 7 from the year before that. and p.s.g. total was 7 lower than last season 12 love in the year before and 9 love that then 201718. the big boys are suddenly losing to small teams why well obviously the players are running themselves into the ground. it's just too much the product suffers losing its shine and sometimes schedulers

make things even worse. not board a ship it was shot with all of the yeah got a lot of got there got it made and got shot. yeah this city and as we played on choosing to always 2 teams of 2 teams were good went to choose the kids i'm contention all 4 percent of the 12 whatever that's ok these are nice but it's ok by the weapons the teams should not even be in consideration for that just not. seems reasonable but the people setting kickoff times don't take that into consideration and that's how you end up with teams having just 2 and a half days between games from wednesday evening to saturday lunchtime and then the performances suffer. you can see verse after that i thought we were actually playing simple about the movements. 32nd of course. and with stadiums n.t.t. there's no one around to cheer the players on that can make things easier for

people is not the same unfortunately without the fans and the captain so the. takes away from it i don't think anyone. has been in the situation the players don't like it to be honest thomas. mann football and messi says it's horrible feels like a training session and it's very tough to get going at the start of a game. so what can a player like messi do when deprived of the big stage. the situation apparently affects the big stars more. so there was. where i need to be to say these and it's meant to be i mean fun. to play

without like 20 people. but i don't have more. when i go and other countries like other players more than me. it's hard to think of anything else when you're playing so often including internationals top players had to play every $3.00 days at the start of the season it was every $4.00 days the previous year. that different serves iran point 6 days makes a big difference to play is physically as the doctor tells us the heavy strain and insufficient regeneration time lead to an increased risk of injury and limited ability to perform if you have to find too. much under the conditions or the lack of a summer break due to the champions league also didn't help.

and aside from that the play is huge. rhythms what disturbs. like kilian em back pay said they got no holidays no rest. even the toughest sights a struggling to cut. news not let us just be up to a french units post a comment if i see just the months i've got a limit is to skip the whole mr will log me boy oh boy if i dida he's under the bunch of 15 on a snatch butte or the guise of all sorts of not likely said power through but at what cost we've already got $2.00 major reason they're probably not just my players or the team's players so we need to think about them as shish will not last the amount. if it of that of course or think they might do not wish your gracious or.

not actual mask a chemical make at. the last order out here's the part feel. inspired lee a new problem and coaches have long complained about the amount of football played some even more. is a lot faster. when they saw everybody in the last weeks know how many just the players they have. we're going to kill them because who's followed. the tide. solution long people devotionals. for i'd slip below the plate bodies but football associations don't want to hear it they say in the old days they would just as many games and no one complained. and technically

much just came around just as often as in the precursor own era. but that's not a fair comparison because as our doctor says the game is always getting faster and more dynamic. and the pressure to succeed is always increasing. doses musicians like books and pits mood. to those who sit. in the sea those are. the kind of. buildings that something to the city of. in this particular analogy fee for your wife and the least other microwave and the more what's called games the better that means more t.v. money it also means the t.v.

companies have a say in who plays when and how often. do you believe. you can argue that. if things keep going like this the whole idea of fake competition will be under threat players at the big club simply have to play far more games than those 2 thirds of the other teams in meddling and there were 6 international match days in that time it all puts players at risk. there is a danger that injuries and problems from being overworked will pile up leading to increasingly long absences if you're waiting for change don't hold your breath. if you could choose new ideas and hopefully become a euro 2 euros in the summer because if they have. let's see who will come out of. the players so everybody knew it was ok it's fine we have you found

a solution to play on that's great but now we can stop thinking you have to stop being. i and sustainable trouble how does it work and what can you discover when you're away from the popular sites lucas state sets out to explore blue by bicycle so swollen innovative and green edge. because there they have a university that's completely focused on the topic of sustainability. chicken. league plays cancer research benefiting from the fight against coronaviruses doctors in germany are testing your muzak seen that comes from the same laboratories being used by penn demick researchers it's designed to help the body fight cancer cells on its own only play with a cutting edge approach this vaccine is tailored to the immune system of each
