Italian football authorities have they aimed too short on the question of the date of a possible resumption of Serie A, interrupted like all football because of the coronavirus, in early May? This is what seems to think the Italian Minister of Sports, Vincenzo Spadafora. In any case, he refuses to get wet.

"The predictions that made us think that we could resume sports competitions in late April or early May were, I think, a little too optimistic," said Spadafora on Rai 3. "I am very, very skeptical. I can certainly say that if the conditions to resume competitions are met, it will certainly be behind closed doors, ”he added.

“Even scientists have no certainty about the evolution of the epidemic. We have to adapt our decisions to an evolving situation, ”said Spadafora. The sport has been stopped in Italy since April 3. The Covid-19 pandemic killed 8,000 people on the peninsula.
