Inter owned defender Valentino Lazaro has shared his belief that the decision to postpone the European Championship’s which were due to take place this Summer to next Summer is the right decision.

In a meeting with their 55 member federations among other people earlier on this week, European football’s governing body UEFA announced that they would be postponing the tournament in order to allow domestic leagues and cups and continental competitions finish.

“The decision was foreseeable and I think it is the right choice. At this extraordinarily difficult moment for us, the focus is not on football, but on health, cohesion and our society,” he told Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung.

Lazaro’s Austria have qualified for the tournament and are in a group with the Netherlands, Ukraine with their final group member to be determined by the playoffs, which will now take place at some point June. They will begin their European Championship campaign against the as yet undetermined opponent in Bucharest, Romania.

The 23-year-old spent the first half of this season with Inter but was loaned out to Premier League side Newcastle United for the second half of the campaign. All in all, he has made 16 appearances, in which he has scored one goal and provided two assists.
