Pique says it is unlikely there will be a Davis Cup this year

The investment team, led by Barcelona footballer Kosmos, bought the right to host the event in 2018 for € 3 billion and has overhauled the organization. The winner of the men's national team competition series has been decided in the final of the 18 teams in Madrid since last year, the traditional home and away duels will only take place in the qualifiers.

This year, too, the Spanish capital will be the host of the final, and the Hungarian national team would also be among the participants.

"I'm a little pessimistic. Without spectators, it would be hard to hold a fight," Pique told Movistar television in Spain.

"There is a lot of uncertainty. We are in constant contact with the Ministry of Sports and the government to see if we can receive supporters. Opinions are different and no one can give a sure answer yet." - he continued.

He added that austerity measures will also make preparations more difficult, but his team is still working to host the event if restrictions are eased - and viewers may be allowed in.

“I think the picture will clear up in the coming weeks, we’ll be ready anyway,” he said.

Pique hasn’t played football since March, but returned to his team in Barcelona last week, where he was given individual training opportunities again. The league president said the Spanish league could continue on June 12, but the player feels it would take more time before he returns.

"It's only been a month without preparation matches. While I'm sure La Liga wants the best and hopes there won't be any injuries, I still think it would take a few more days to prepare properly," the 33-year-old said. world and european champion defender.
