Sampdoria patron Massimo Ferrero has joined the debate about the possible resumption and claimed the players ‘are not machines to be turned off and on again’.
The Blucerchiati have been through a particularly difficult period, stopping to give any further updates 'to avoid creating public alarm' after having confirmed several cases of coronavirus at the club.
Sampdoria patron Massimo Ferrero has joined the debate about the possible resumption and claimed the players ‘are not machines to be turned off and on again’.
The Blucerchiati have been through a particularly difficult period, stopping to give any further updates 'to avoid creating public alarm' after having confirmed several cases of coronavirus at the club.
“At the beginning, nobody gave much wight to this invisible and subtle enemy, I instead always said that an era would change,” he told Secolo XIX. “We are all at home today, we respect the rules, we continue to be invaded by bad news, but people are fed up.
“It would be useful, I repeat useful, to understand that the time has come to make profound reforms to change Italy.”
Serie A has been discussing the different hypotheses of a resumption with the respective clubs in the League, but Ferrero has revealed that the Presidents are only arguing their own case, ‘instead of creating a common strategy’
“This drama must give life to construction. The 20 Serie A teams are a bit like the decision makers of football, rather than continuing to spend hours in a conference call every day without pulling the spider out of the hole because we don’t find a common strategy?
“Instead of creating a common strategy, everyone says theirs: 'I want to play for the Scudetto, I don’t want to go to Serie B'. There is talk of playing… do you understand? Always play.
“Imagine [Manolo] Gabbiadini, having tested positive for coronavirus and recently recovered from it, and I must tell him that in May he might return to play.
“He is not a machine to turn off and on again. And where would his head be? And, who will go to the stadium? People? And how, with masks?
“Just talk to each other. Let’s face this moment with our heads and dignity."
