BRESCIA – There are those who say no. Massimo Cellino is not willing to resume playing the championship on May 20 or so as speculated by the president of Figc Gravina.
In order not to return to play, Cellino would be willing to withdraw Brescia from the Italian football championship. According to Cellino, the championship should end here.
The president of Brescia provided these explanations during an interview with Andrea Di Caro for the Gazzetta dello Sport. Let's report it below.
“Tell me the truth, are you kidding me? Or they are making fun of you too … What is it, an April fish?
My line is that the championship cannot resume, for a long series of reasons. I'll list them all if you want. But my speech is based primarily on two pillars: respect for health and safety of the football system. After losing this season, we will also ruin the next one which will be decisive to start again
UEFA cannot push anything: the season ends on June 30, the deadline for the presentation of club budgets and player contracts. They are arrogant and irresponsible: they think only of their economic interests and the Cups. But Uefa does not decide on the Italian championship, Italy decides. To resume the A must end by June 30. Do they make us play every two days? Or does UEFA also have the power to lengthen the days and turn them into 72 hours? If Uefa wants to do something useful, send oxygen cylinders and respirators to Brescia, we would be grateful
I don't want to play to save myself? Lotito yelled at me the other day: "you don't want to play to save yourself". From that pulpit, he who makes fire and flames because he thinks he will win the championship. I do not give a damn to go back: so far we have deserved it and I too have my faults. I make a general speech. To end in June, an impossible and risky tour de force awaits us, to prolong the season it is necessary to change all national and international rules: player contracts, balance sheets, deadlines with banks, transfer market, preparation, start of the new season. An absolute chaos. For what?
This season no longer makes sense. We stopped, no team will return as before, the stadiums behind closed doors, plus there is a risk to the health of the athletes.
For me, going back to business is pure madness. If they force us, I am willing not to line up the team and lose the 3-0 games at the table out of respect for the citizens of Brescia and their loved ones who are no longer there ”.
