The Italian Olympic Committee Chairman, Giovanni Malago, said today that 99% of the chances of the Italian soccer league returning to rotation are 99%. "From 1 to 100, how much do I appreciate the odds that Serie A will resume on June 13? For me, 99%," Malague told Radio Ray.
"Everything has been done to resume playing. However, if you ask me what are the chances of finishing the season once the competitions resume again, you need a crystal ball," he added. The Italian League indicated yesterday that it hopes on the 13th of next June to resume the league matches that have been suspended since the ninth of last March because of the pandemic "Covid-19". The government has yet to make a decision on this matter, but remains very cautious about resuming competitions.
However, Minister of Sports Vincenzo Spadafura gave the green light to resume group exercises on May 18, noting that individual exercises resumed on May 4. And remains the most sensitive point on the road to the possibility of resuming competitions, related to the commitment imposed on the clubs to put their players and the technical staff in quarantine for a period of 15 days, once a positive situation appears.
"I do not know why they made this decision, I hear that it is a decision that is still under review, but I do not want to go into these considerations," Malago said about the decision by the Technical and Scientific Committee advising the government on managing the emerging Corona Virus crisis.
"What is certain is that they are serious people and that they are, undoubtedly, between a more restrictive and a more flexible option, who prefer to protect the country," he added. In the same context, the Italian Federation announced the game that it had commissioned a team of inspectors to verify the compliance of the first-class clubs with the health protocol in force to allow the training to resume.
