“I read strange things around, but nothing has changed compared to what I have always said about football: team training will not resume before May 18 and there is no talk of the resumption of the championship for now”.
C'the Minister of Sport, Vincenzo Spadafora, wrote on Facebook. "Now excuse me - he says - but I'm going back to dealing with all the other sports and sports centers (gyms, dance centers, swimming pools) that must reopen as soon as possible". - "When and with whom from the majority on behalf of which Minister Spadafora governs did he establish that the restart of Italian football 'is out of the question'? Does he also want full powers? Resign yourself: the Minister of Sport is not the owner of football. Come to Parliament to discuss it". Luciano Nobili, deputy of Italia Viva, wrote on Twitter.
Football is starting up again in small steps, but it is not a given that it will reach the end of the season in August. Phase 2, that of coexistence with the coronavirus, begins with the green light from tomorrow for individual training in sports centers, which according to the government's precautionary line were supposed to reopen on May 18. This line, supported in recent days by the opinions of experts and the arguments of the Minister of Sport, 5Stelle Vincenzo Spadafora, was in fact 'overridden' first by some Regions and then by a directive from Luciana Lamorgese, head of a key ministry of the Conte government, especially in the ongoing emergency. We go back to running at Contiassa or Appiano, but only alone, as if it were a public park. Now the opinion requested for a second time by Spadafora from the Technical Scientific Committee is arriving, which is about to give an ok to individual training with a detailed protocol from the minister, news that should also unblock the last clubs, undecided, such as Milan or Fiorentina.
