Volleyball: coach Conegliano, 'let us play summer playoff'

"If the championship is not assigned, I would accept the decision with great sportiness, but I think that after 6 months of the season, everything cannot be canceled. If the classic championship cannot be played, an emergency formula can be found. In my opinion, c 'was still the possibility to end the season with a particular formula ". Daniele Santarelli, coach of the Imoco Conegliano leader of the top Italian women's volleyball championship, invites us to wait any longer and does not resign himself to the idea of ​​thinking about a final summer playoff to assign volleyball titles.
After Fipav's decision to declare the season of volleyball due to Coronavirus ended, Santarelli's hope still remains following a rapprochement between the Federation and the League: "Safety and health first of all - admits Santarelli who spoke on Radio Anch'io Sport on Radio 1 this morning - but I didn't see everything compromised yet. We had everything to lose, we were going great, we could win the championship and also the Champions. For us it was traumatic interruption: you could at least wait to understand if there was the possibility of extending the further possibility of trying to finish the season ". As for the proposal by its president Piero Garbellotto, of an NBA-style volleyball league released by the federation, Santarelli specifies: "Italian volleyball is mature compared to a few years ago, we have made progress. I followed the words of the president, he spoke of a management, of course we are not at NBA levels, we are not even a professional sport and this says a lot. But I think something more can be done ".
