Claudio Ranieri was interviewed by Radio Rai and discussed the idea of restarting the season after the stoppage forced by the coronavirus pandemic. The Sampdoria coach had thoughts on the path forward: "To hear from my players, many afflicted with the virus, it was not fun. Now they're recovering, and that's the most important thing. I agree with what everyone is saying to do, but the league is practically falsified. We are coming out of a virtual stop, there will be those who return stronger than the others. If it all begins again from zero, it's unpredictable what will happen. Of course, it's better to play than not to: it would not be right that relegation safety or the scudetto is not decided on the pitch. But you would be dealing with a falsified season. I read that in England they are thinking of introducing 5 substitutions per match to protect the players when they restart. They want to return to the pitch? We'll return. They want to play three matches a week? Ok. But several people positive for the virus, once healed, tested positive agan when they returned to training. And it could also be too risky to make these athletes play, a few weeks after healling, three times a week."
