Wenger, who spent most of his illustrious career in the EPL, stated that fans are an integral part of the game. With the EPL set to resume the 2019-20 season with empty stadiums, the EPL great noted the emptiness that the new guidelines brought to the beautiful game.
New EPL guidelines cannot survive in the long term, according to Wenger
While Wenger pointed out that the absence of fans will affect the aura surrounding the game in the long term, the former EPL manager acknowledged that the current guidelines are the best possible solution to a unique problem.
With several countries locked down during the break, the cancellation of the 2019-20 EPL season was a genuine possibility. The Arsenal legend was optimistic about the new schedule and a definitive end to the EPL season.
Wenger also discussed the new rule allowing teams to make a total of five substitutions in each game. The EPL great claimed that the change in the framework was necessary to prevent player fatigue and ensure that matches took place in a fair manner.
With the Bundesliga rebooting their campaign and clubs across the world resuming training sessions, Wenger is positive that EPL’s superstars are ready to get back on the pitch and proceed with the season.
The Bundesliga concluded their weekend of football successfully, with Borussia Dortmund steamrolling Schalke 04 in the Ruhr valley derby and Erling Haaland back to his best. The Premier League was last seen in action on the 8th of March, and fans of the EPL can take heart from Wenger’s words as they eagerly await a decisive end to the season.
