A stalemate in one direction, that relating to the fate of Juventus-Naples, but clear ideas on the other front, that of the future of the Serie A championship. This is the summary of the long day of institutional meetings held on Monday between the president of the FIGC Gabriele Gravina and the Minister of Sport Vincenzo Spadafora in the aftermath of the sensational lack of dispute of the super-challenge of the “Allianz Stadium” for the choice of Napoli not to reach Turin after the positivity at Coronavirus of the last few hours.
At the beginning of the day, important news was expected on the “missed” match at the Allianz Stadium and consequently reassurances on the possibility of continuing the season.
Spadafora first met the president of the Lega A Paolo Dal Pino, president of the League, and then the federal leaders, but at the end of the day there was only one shared idea: the rules are there and are already clear, but they must be respected. “We need prudence”, the same that made the restart possible – said Spadafora- “but we don’t run the risk of blocking” the championship.
The current protocol will therefore remain in force: “If we all have the protection of health at heart and the protocol is respected by everyone in its entirety, I believe we can rest assured, the championship will be able to compete and take place in safety – declared Gravina – Of course, if there are leaks and someone is wrong then that someone has to pay. I respect: the Sports Judge is the Sports Judge, the Federal Prosecutor is the Federal Prosecutor “.
No explicit mention of the case Juventus-Naples. Will the bianconeri have the victory at the table or will it be played on another date? Two opposite scenarios, from which also the rest of the championship passes.
“The protocol requires a great sense of responsibility – the Spadafora specification – The local health authority can intervene in particular cases, it does not intervene in derogation of the protocol but where there are particular situations. The important thing is that the intervention is motivated and linked to needs that may vary “.
Meanwhile, after the pre-complaint sent by Naples the Sports Judge will prevent the relationship of referee and federal inspectors from being the only adoptable instrument and therefore the 3-0 being decided immediately, the president Aurelio De Laurentiis wrote a letter to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza and to the Minister of Sport himself Spadafora, attaching the key documents and the rulings of the ASL and citing the case of postponement of Palermo-Potenza in Serie C for the ban on moving the visiting team.
Meanwhile, the team is in home isolation in Marina di Castello. At the resumption of the championship, the Azzurri should contend with leaders Atalanta on Saturday 17 Oct.
