in The bustling American metropolis, it is no more. Maxime Chanot (30), a defender for New York City FC, looks with dismay at how his home town are suffering from the corona virus. The ex-players of KV Kortrijk, is worried: “the gravity of The situation calls for, apparently, not all the way out here.”

“I’ve got a view of Central Park and the Hudson river from my window. It is the famous ziekenhuisboot, on the one hand, and the park is on the other side of it. I continue to be amazed at the number of people that are still around. It does not see black people on here, but since the weather is nice, there are a lot of people in the park. Although it is less than normal, because the borders are closed, the restaurants are not open, and there are simply less tourists in the city,” said Chanot, in an interview with La Dernière Heure. He will play, since 2016, and the Us MLS. He moved to New York City FC was made, it was 5 years in the us, the country with the White Star, Beerschot, and the team KV Kortrijk.

”but it’s night and day difference, as I have pictures of it in other cities, such as Paris, france. A lot of people are aware now of how bad the situation is. However, there are measures in place, but not all of them will feel there is no option for appeal.”

Strange, because if you do, the newspapers and the news seems to consider, you will be overwhelmed by the dire news from New York city. Due to the overcrowded hospitals, and thousands of infections seems to be in the city, with a view to moving. If this state has already been reached, at least.

“Since about a week I will be inundated with concerned messages from my family. It is a rather paradoxical situation: the Europeans are ongeruster than the population of New York city, it seems. I have to avoid myself a little bit of television, because it’s a little bit frightening, all of them. The situation is critical, but we feel like it’s not there. The measures are still too loose to really be of help to the pandemic in the organisation.”

His employer, the New York City FC, expected to Chanot is that he has to stay at home. “There is a lot of pressure on the club to return home to stay, yes. It was asked not to return to our homeland, or to one of your own for the Americans in the group. Not a single team mate is back.”

in The Us the MLS is still on since the 12th of march, but in the house of Chanot is, however, still very professional. “Every day at 10 a.m. and will follow a training session via video is a good thing. We were also treated to a sprinter bike you can for the disposal, as well as a set of dumb-bells, rubber bands, and a trainingsmatje for us to keep in shape. Everyone will get in touch with a physical trainer. A jog in Central Park will always be my one and only activity outside the home. For the rest, I’ll stay clean for my wife, and my daughter was in the apartment.”
