Only running and no ball, not even for the torello. The Serie A teams that were preparing to switch from individual training to group training with the ball, had to change their plans.
Everything as before, the week will begin as it ended, because the Government's Technical Scientific Committee has not yet validated the guidelines for team sports of May 12. The protocol will probably be approved tomorrow and the Lega Serie A has proposed additions - more anti-covid tests and, according to the indications of the president of the FMSI, Maurizio Casasco, on the related anti-doping controls - which the FIGC has already forwarded to the ministry. Football hopes to thus obtain the 'yes' to group training without the obligation of retreat, a solution that most clubs consider logistically impracticable. In essence, phase 2 has not yet taken off, and the resumption of the championship on June 13 remains far from certain at the moment.
The government explains that the CTS approval of the protocol was only delayed by 24 hours due to a hitch, linked to the hectic weekend in which scientists were busy defining the guidelines for the recovery of other sectors of the Italian economy. The CTS, it is assured, will operate with maximum collaboration, but holding firm to the principle of responsibility expressed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte when he explained that "it is necessary that the conditions for a recovery in maximum safety are created". For the Government, those conditions are not there yet and there is no date for the new kick-off. In the League they are waiting. Both clubs and players have strong doubts about the application of the protocol. training sessions, to then think about the one for the matches.
