Italian soccer teams and Serie A’s governing body are squabbling with each other about when to play games, with Inter Milan’s chief executive, Giuseppe Marotta, saying the season even runs the risk of being unable to finish.
Five games scheduled of the Italian league over the weekend were postponed on Saturday in an attempt to contain the coronavirus outbreak.
“The decision was down to me, but the clubs involved were contacted by telephone, so we know everyone’s positions, which were difficult to reconcile,” Paolo Dal Pino, the president of Lega Serie A, said on Sunday. “I invite everyone to think as Serie A, not as individual clubs.”
Lega Serie A announced on Sunday that it had called an emergency assembly for Wednesday to “examine the consequences the governmental measures related to coronavirus have had on the fixture list.”
All five matches were rescheduled for May 13 although there are reports the league is considering playing Juventus vs. Inter on Wednesday and moving the Italian Cup semifinals, which both clubs are involved in.
Marotta attacked the league’s decision, but Dal Pino said on Sunday that Inter had refused another option offered to the clubs.
“On Friday we proposed to Inter to move the match against Juventus to Monday night to be able to play it with fans present,” Dal Pino said.
“Inter categorically refused to go out onto the field, so it should assume its own responsibilities and not talk about sportsmanship or a falsified championship.”
