Lazio defender Patric insists Serie A clubs and players ‘would not accept’ seeing their season cut short like Ligue 1, as they return to training.
All the clubs are allowed to train from this week, albeit maintaining social distancing, although the Government has not yet decided whether the 2019-20 season will be allowed to continue.
“We are not afraid and, with the right precautions, have to get back on the field,” Patric told El Chiringuito de Jugones in an Instagram live chat.

All the clubs are allowed to train from this week, albeit maintaining social distancing, although the Government has not yet decided whether the 2019-20 season will be allowed to continue.
“We are not afraid and, with the right precautions, have to get back on the field,” Patric told El Chiringuito de Jugones in an Instagram live chat.
“Football is no different to any other business, we’ve been at home for two months now and want to get back to work. If everything else is returning to normality, why shouldn’t we?”
Ligue 1 is the only top five league to have officially shut down early, along with the Netherlands and Belgium, so what would happen if the Italian Government tried to do the same?
“We wouldn’t accept it,” replied Patric. “This is an historic moment for Lazio, we are having a fantastic season. They can’t assign the title when it’s so tight and there are 12 games left to go.”
