Sampdoria President Massimo Ferrero made an extraordinary pledge during the coronavirus pandemic. “I’d be a guinea pig for a vaccine if it meant we could play again.”
The plans are being drawn up to resume the Serie A season from May 30, but games would be behind closed doors for many more months.
“If they want, I’d be a guinea pig for a vaccine if it meant we could play again,” Ferrero told TMW Radio.

“If they want, I’d be a guinea pig for a vaccine if it meant we could play again,” Ferrero told TMW Radio.
“However, those who shout for us to get back out there is just pedalling demagoguery. The important thing is that we defeat this coronavirus, that is what really matters.”
The Sampdoria President believes Serie A should not resume without fans, while he is unimpressed by the idea of social distancing during initial training sessions.
“How does that work, with players running four metres apart and a coach shouting through a megaphone from a balcony? It’s madness!”
