Masters’ suggestion might raise eyebrows with some managers who have argued that football is all about emotion, but he appears to have Frank Lampard on side.
Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard reacting to the new COVID-19 protocol said,
‘All sport is played in the moment, with emotion, if we set ourselves the target of perfection, we will fall short.
‘All we’re asking is that players adjust to the situation. I think they understand that we’re in a fortunate position, where we’re able to play, to ply our trade while millions of others aren’t.
‘You’ve got to follow the rules and also set a good example.’
Pep Guardiola says his Manchester City players will try to stick to the protocols but urged: ‘Don’t blame footballers for the pandemic.’

‘We want to avoid [a stoppage] as we realise it’s tough for society. But if football stops, it cannot be because somebody makes a mistake in a game.
‘Let’s be fair. Everyone in the game has been tested the day before. Football is about emotion and it’s about contact.
‘Everyone — especially the players — are making a big effort to keep football moving. We speak to the players but it’s too emotional not to touch when he scores a goal. I don’t know if there is a solution.’
