First it was Belgium the one who opted for cancelling his competition, later added the Eredivisie and the last league in adding to the car of the cancellations has been Tie it 1. The French championship has been the first of the called 5 big of Europe in announcing that the campaign will not restart . It seems that the Premier League, the Bundesliga and LaLiga​ yes will return, but in Italy there is increasingly doubts with the Series To. The minister of sports, Vincenzo Spadafora, conceded an interview to Onmibus and desveló that the possibility that it cancel is very real.

The minister ensured that it follows having contacts between the distinct parts so that it can go back to train, although it admitted that return to the trainings does not involve to restart the season. "The contacts are in course between today and morning between the technical committee and scientist, and the FIGC, that had presented a protocol of training that the committee considers insufficient. Go back to the trainings does not mean that it go to restart the championship", commented.

Spadafora Would opt for giving by finalised the course as it is not to run risks, the same that they already have done in France and Holland. "If we do not want to have uncertainties, simply follow the line of France and Holland, that have cancelled the season. Sincerely I see that the way to the recovery narrow. The trainings are different, but if I chose would think already in the new season", confirmed.

The Italian politician insisted in the example of France, that suspended Tie it 1 turning into the first big league in announcing that the championship would not have denouement. "The election of France also can presionar to Italy and other European countries to be followed this line. It could have a majority of smart presidents to ask the suspension to prepare better for the next championship", explained.

The minister continued his argumentation and, although it recognised that for the Italian sport is important that the Series To play , also signalled that only it would have to contest if there is not any risk of contagion. "Like minister of sports would be a silly to the demonizar the football and the Series To, that contribute money to all the sportive system. But if the turn is not safe, will see us forced to detain us. It is absurd that three or four presidents still do not think in this", affirmed.

It demands a 'plan b' to the leaders of the Italian football

Finally, Spadafora urged to the managers of the Italian football that think alternative in case the campaign can not restart. It seems that the denouement could arrive this week when the technical committee and scientist dictamine if it can go back to train. "I think that the leaders of the football, am referring me to the League and also to the FIGC, would have to begin to think in a 'Plan B'. To more take this week, the technical committee and scientist will say if the protocol of training is feasible and in some days will communicate it to the clubs, with those who taking into account the data will decide if we restart the championship", concluded.
