“The right harmony was restored in a time of great difficulty for the country, we need to be aware of the very serious health problems in our sphere, within football,” Marotta told reporters outside the CONI headquarters.
“The attempt is to complete the championship with the utmost regularity, without creating a competitive imbalance, but as you can see the scenario changes constantly.
“We are waiting for a new government decree, so we can travel on sight. Behind closed doors is the only way to finish the league in light of the situation and the restrictions that the government are rightly adopting.
“The council ratified the proposal of the 20 clubs to resume suspended games, this is the solution of the Lega.
“There is one slot difference between the end of the week, with the suspended games, then the Lega will communicate the dates.
“Juve-Inter? It can be played on Sunday or Monday.”
