Lazio, Tare: "To finish the season would be important"

After the words of Giuseppe Conte, and of the minister of sport Spadafora, there is still uncertainty in regards to when football will return in Italy. There was an opening for clubs to begin training on May 18th, but it will all depend on the number of cases still in the country at that time. Lazio's director of sport, Igli Tare, spoke to Lazio Style Radio about the situation, saying: "We are surprised. We have respected the decisions of the Government and we thought that May 4th would be the day we could restart. We feel discriminated. The Prime Minister is not aiming to help football, and sports has been stopped for two months. We are all sacrificing everything, but something isn't right."

"Football has an important social role for the country. We don't want to reopen the stadiums and we don't feel penalized becaused we are fighting for the Scudetto, but to finish the season would be something good for the system. In other countries they are going towards a reopening and they have created a protocol that must be closely followed. To win the scudetto is a huge thing to say with 12 games left. But we need to finish the season for the good of the Italian football system. The big clubs, Juve, Milan and Inter, they must take a position. The moment to take this sort of action out of necessity has arrived."
