‘Matches without fans sadder than dancing with your sister’: Luis Enrique

Spain coach Luis Enrique is no fan of playing matches without spectators as leagues begin to return in empty stadiums after being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Playing matches without supporters is sadder than dancing with your sister,” Luis Enrique said in an interview for Spanish basketball show Colgados del Aro.

Last weekend the Bundesliga became the first major European league to resume action and players were unable to celebrate goals together to reduce the risk of infection while stadiums normally packed with boisterous supporters were left bare.

“It’s very ugly, I watched the German football and it’s lamentable. You can hear the insults and you lose the intimacy of the great moments,” added the former Barcelona midfielder and coach.

Yet he did admit that having live sport to watch on television would provide relief to millions of people who are confined to their homes for most of the day due to lockdowns imposed by governments to fight the spread of the virus.

“We have to understand this is a global business that generates a lot of money and even though the spectacle is very different to when you play with people, it can help us pass the time during confinement and get through this,” he added.

“If you are a fan of football or basketball then watching a match is always interesting.”

Work-from-home is becoming the new normal for India, with job-seekers as well as employers leaning towards working remotely. The trend, which started during the coronavirus lockdown, is likely to stay.

Job-seekers are increasingly searching for terms like ‘remote’, ‘work from home’, and related phrases. Searches for remote work have also increased by over 377 per cent as a share of all searches on Indeed India from February to May, according to the data shared by the job portal. Job postings for remote work and work from home have also seen an increase of 168 per cent in the same period, the data revealed.

Sashi Kumar at Indeed said, “COVID19 has forced many of us to change the way we work, powering a huge shift towards remote working that is expected to continue.”

Meanwhile, several firms are also offering internships through digital modes including the government sector. Recently, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had offered a digital internship for fresh graduates or students, of four weeks duration with a stipend of Rs 10,000. It will be held online and the last date to apply is May 25.

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has also asked colleges affiliated to it to allow students to conduct the mandatory internships digitally. AICTE has also asked institutes to “give challenging problems as an internship to students which they can work upon from their respective homes”.

Further, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur claims that students who had lost their job offers due to the slowdown caused by coronavirus pandemic have received offers to work from home. In fact, several students have more than one such project with big brands.
