Mexico City /
It can become a whim. Forward James Maddison made one of those celebrations that could go down in football history and more in the context that the world is currently living under the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic that is forcing clubs around the world to play behind closed doors and with strict off-field measures for players.
That’s why Maddison’s curious party after scoring a goal against Southampton in the Premier League is striking. The footballer ran to one side of the goal and when his companions wanted to hug him, he stopped them and greeted them with a “healthy distance”, that is, he waved his hand in the air, and with it the new anti-covid celebration in football.
The fact is, you don’t have to worry.
We’ll see how many players imitate him, Well, the celebrations of the goals so far are still with hugs and handshakes despite the fact that health authorities around the world do not recommend it due to the high risk of contamination.
Maddison’s goal was the first in the Foxes’ 2-0 win in the Premier, result that places them second in the rankings. The other was Harvey Barnes doing comp time.
The fact is, you don’t have to worry.
