On December 28, 2023, according to the CCTV5 program list, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the European Cup, which was originally scheduled to be held in the summer of 2020, was postponed to June 11 to July 11, 2021, the first time in the history of the European Cup. This decision has different impacts on players, fans and the host, both advantages and disadvantages. Let's analyze it together.
For players, the postponement of the European Cup has two sides. On the one hand, the delay will allow some players who cannot participate in the European Cup due to injury to have more time to recover. For example, France's Mbape, Holland's Van Dijk, Germany's Sule, England's Kane, etc. They are important players of their national teams. If they can participate in the European Cup, their strength will be greatly improved. On the other hand, the delay will also make some players who are in good condition lose good opportunities, such as Ronaldo of Portugal, De Brauner of Belgium, Ramos of Spain, etc. They are all over 30 years old. If they wait another year, their condition may decline and their competitiveness may be weakened.
For fans, the postponement of the European Cup also has two sides. On the one hand, the delay can give fans more time to prepare, such as buying tickets, booking hotels, arranging travel, etc., and also can give fans more expectations, such as paying attention to the players' status, predicting the results of the game, participating in various activities, etc. On the other hand, the delay will also disappoint the fans, such as missing the original holiday, wasting the original cost, missing the original grand occasion, etc., and will also make the fans worried, such as the change of the epidemic, the safety of the game, the health of the players, etc.
For the organizers, the postponement of the European Cup also has two sides. On the one hand, the delay can give the organizers more time to prepare, such as improving venues, optimizing services, increasing revenue, etc., and also give them more opportunities to cooperate, such as establishing better relations with sponsors, media, government, etc. On the other hand, the delay will also make the host face more challenges, such as taking more risks, bearing more pressure, dealing with more variables, etc., and will also make the host lose some of the benefits, such as returning tickets, compensating contracts, reducing audience, etc.
In a word, the postponement of the European Cup is a matter of necessity. It has different impacts on players, fans and the host. There are both advantages and disadvantages. We hope that we can see a wonderful European Cup next summer. Thank you for your attention. See you next time.
