"Lazio" sports director: "Season suspension for Italian football would be a real disaster"

"Lazio", who are having an excellent season, would realistically have a chance to dethrone "Juventus" from Turin if the "Serie A" championship were to be extended.

Although Italy has been hit the hardest by the coronavirus in Europe so far, "Lazio" sports director Igli Tare is convinced that ending the season would be a disastrous decision.

"The season must be completed. At this moment, there is really no need to think about its cancellation. The number of infections in the country is decreasing, so it would be unfair not to play the remaining matches.

Ending the season would be a real disaster for Italian football. We will do everything so that this does not happen.

The majority of Italian clubs' budgets consist of money earned from TV rights. If that money is not available, for some clubs it could mean disaster," - I. Tare said in an interview with "Sport 1".

Currently, "Lazio" is in second place in the "Serie A" championship and is only a few points behind "Juventus".
