Gravina: "The hypothesis is to start again on 20 May. It is a priority to finish the championships"
UPDATE - Also on the microphones of Tmw radio the president of the FIGC issued other statements: "Resume? No one today is able to make predictions as long as the health emergency keeps society in check. It is a unique emergency for the world, which has attacked every sector, even economic. After this, however, we will have to start again, draw a starting point and football is wondering how this restart will take place, the top priority is the conclusion of the championships. It is a requirement to define the staff and avoid a summer full of legal disputes, this does not detract from the fact that the federation must also evaluate other hypotheses. I have involved our scientific committee, full of distinguished professionals who know this sector well, to understand a procedure that must be implemented by companies in order to put our societies under maximum control."
POSSIBLE DATES - "Until April 18 there should be the lockdown, the hypothesis is from May 20 or in a final analysis to early June, we can in July define our championships. We know that they are hypotheses, we want to give a message of hope to all citizens, but we know that football is an area that goes into the background in the fight against the virus. Going beyond these dates? We are proceeding in different directions and there are two factors: the first is to comply with the government's orders and the second is the opportunity that UEFA and FIFA are giving us, to be able to go beyond 30 June. We are even talking about August and September, I have made it clear that I would regret running the risk of compromising another season to save this. We are attentive and respectful, today no one can make predictions, but planning is a duty."
IPOTESI ESTATE - "There is no definitive date, either for departure or arrival. I thank UEFA, even the highest international bodies live by our uncertainties and try to offer a number of windows. The top priority is to close the national championships, today a further decision has been taken, move the windows for the Nationals freeing the window of June 1-9. We have additional time to complete the national events. The end-May window, until July 15-31 would be the one I would identify, so I have plenty of time to start planning the 2020-21 season."
IPOTESI CAMPO NEUTRO - "It's not a good solution, but it's an idea, which we're working on. We are trying to identify four or five destinations, just as UEFA is trying to define different formats not so much for this league, but for those that will follow. There is an open table for there to be a restart and a definition that is the protagonist of the playing field."
"Undo I think it's quite complicated, with a league that has seen the dispute of more than two-thirds of the league. There would be a grave injustice that would lead to a legal emergency during an epidemiological emergency." This was said by the president of the Football Federation, Gabriele Gravina on Tmw radio. "The Scudetto must only decide to award it or not and Juventus itself I think expressed a dislike of such a solution - he added - Then there is the indication, of international interest, about the clubs that have to go to Europe. This is not the time for this reasoning, but it is clear that those who have the right to participate in a different league, I speak of Serie B, would be the first two, certainly not the third, that should face the playoffs. No one can claim promotion from third in the standings. I will do everything for the definition of the championships on the pitch, a summer in court would not be an act of great responsibility."
