Legendary Inter goalkeeper and current manager of Cagliari Walter Zenga has admitted he thinks it will be difficult for the current season to be concluded by the end of June.
Almost every league across Europe is currently on hold as a direct consequence of the global Coronavirus pandemic and last week all of UEFA’s member associations, who it applies to, made a commitment to conclude their domestic campaigns by June 30 at the latest.
However, due to the complete unpredictability of the currently ever changing situation, it is completely unclear as to when the season may resume, if at all.
“If football resumes, it means that some sort of normal life will have resumed and we will accept whatever will be but I think it is hard for the season to finish by the end of June. It would be easier to play through July,” he remarked in an interview with Milan based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Holidays? Who cares about holidays. If we have to play into the middle of August, let’s play in August.”
He then went on to discuss midfielder Radja Nainggolan, who is on loan at the club from Inter.
The 31-year-old Belgian, who has 30 caps for the national team, has made 24 appearances across all competitions to date this term in which he has scored five goals and provided six assists for his Rossoblu teammates.
“He is a top player and can play where you want him to, even in front of the defence but I will look to find a permanent position for him, the one where he will be able to give 100%.”
