The fans: «Give us the away sector»
Great chaos around the Scudetto race. Napoli still don’t know if they will play against Salernitana on Saturday or Sunday. “For Ticketone, the move of the match does not change anything because the tickets sold for Saturday will also be usable on Sunday” explained Amedeo Bardelli, TicketOne Sport Business director, on Radio Marte. The sold out pushes the fans to ask for the opening of the away sector for the Neapolitans. «We are waiting for what the competent authorities will say. For me there is no problem putting the guest sector up for sale even if some seats are not for sale. So it would be a limited number of places, about 2 thousand. I don’t see obstacles in putting them up for sale. Today it would take a stadium for over 100,000 people to satisfy all the requests».
The “graveyard” of defeated teams
The umpteenth ingenious idea of the Neapolitans for a scudetto now in the pocket. A real cemetery built in the street with crosses depicting Serie A teams, the ones Spalletti’s team eliminated week after week.
The funeral monument is an idea of the residents of the “Case Nuove” area, near Corso Garibaldi, a gimmick that in a short time attracted the eyes of Azzurri fans ready for the party but also curious. The last to be “buried” is clearly Juventus, beaten both ways by Osimhen and his teammates in a magical season.
Children play with silhouettes
A virtual ball-and-chain dribbling between the Napoli players reproduced in life-size cardboard shapes in a pitch set up to celebrate the imminent Scudetto. It happens in the Traiano district where the almost 3D effect (or rather, 2D and a half) gives the kids who play it the sensation of participating with their favorites in real actions. The silhouettes reproduce the very titular eleven, with Osimhen at the center of the attack line-up.
There is also a photo of the bench where the reserves take their seats, while coach Spalletti, who was perhaps given a few centimeters more height by the pitch builders, reaches out from the sidelines to encourage the team. Around the pitch, located right at the entrance to the populous Fuorigrotta district, gadget stalls awaiting customers proliferate.
The mayor of Salerno: do not alter the league
“We will take official steps with the commissioner and the prefect to ensure that the championship is not unbalanced”. The mayor of Salerno, Vincenzo Napoli, said this on the sidelines of an event, speaking of the possible postponement of the Naples-Salernitana derby. A hypothesis that is fueling much controversy in the city of Salerno. «We understand the reasons of public order but they must be combined with aspects of the regularity of the championship which must be without prejudice. The matches can be moved but creating the conditions so that the continuation of the championship is not disturbed and the teams have their chance of sporting and physical recovery. We need to make sure that everything holds in a balanced reasoning », explained the mayor. «We don’t have to have bell tower fights, we have a balanced, rational reasoning. I believe – Naples concluded – that there are the conditions to ensure that everything is held and that Salernitana is not penalized in this mechanism which runs the risk of being crushing”.
The decision will be on Thursday
Sources from the Prefecture of Naples let it be known that the decision on whether or not to postpone the Napoli-Salernitana match from Saturday 29 April to Sunday 30 will be taken tomorrow, Friday 27 April.
The protest of environmentalists
«In these hours thousands of trees in the Neapolitan area but also in the rest of Campania are covered with non-breathing white and blue plastic which, if not eliminated quickly, can cause serious damage to the shrubs, as several agronomists have reported. This is why we invite all fans to quickly free the territories from these decorations. We also invite everyone to stop using tarpaulins and plastic strips used as festoons as they increase the level of pollution in the area and are difficult to dispose of and remove. Finally, we believe it is unthinkable to organize a procession of smoke bombs in the Vesuvius park both due to the fact that it is a restricted and protected area and due to the risks of causing fires and pollution that are extremely harmful to the already heavily compromised ecosystem. The party does not turn into an environmental havoc» : so the deputy of Europa Verde Francesco Emilio Borrelli and other environmental exponents.
Meeting concluded: what transpires
The meeting at the National Observatory on Sporting Events which evaluated the requests received from the Local Health Authority, the Police Forces, the Mayor of Naples and the Naples Football Club was concluded: the matter would have been postponed Casms, the operational staff that will meet on Thursday morning
Gevi anticipates Saturday
The news was given by Federico Grassi, president of Gevi Napoli, during the presentation of the GP Lotteria di Agnano, scheduled for May 1st. The request to bring forward the Gevi-Pesaro match for reasons of public order to avoid the concomitance with the eventual celebration of the Scudetto, was accepted. It will be played on Saturday 29 at 19 instead of Sunday 30 at 17.30
Two thousand agents and traffic stops in Naples
The request to merge Napoli-Salernitana and Inter-Lazio on Sunday is due to “reasons of public order”. Two thousand agents who are already on their way to Naples as reinforcements, to which must be added the women and men of the Army. And the closure of the city center to traffic. Postponing the Azzurri’s match – this is the reasoning net of other coincidences with Comicon and the Gevi match – would lighten the mobilization of fans at least on Saturday, which at that point would take place on Sunday if the results of the two matches matched up.
Manfredi’s phone call to Casini
Prefecture and Viminale, Naples, Municipality and city council are pushing for the weekend of the possible Azzurri championship to be reduced to Sunday only with two matches at the same time: Inter-Lazio at 12.30 and Naples-Salernitana to follow while today is scheduled for Saturday at 3pm. Or at the latest at the same time as the match in Milan. The unification of the tenders – is motivated by both Rome and Naples – for “reasons of public order”. Just think of the 2,000 agents who are already on their way to Naples as reinforcements, to which must be added the men and women of the Army. And the closure of the city center to traffic. Postponing the Azzurri’s match – this is the reasoning – would lighten the mobilization of fans at least on Saturday, which at that point would take place on Sunday if the results of the two matches matched up. This is what the mayor Gaetano Manfredi explained in a long phone call to the president of the Lega Serie A Lorenzo Casini proposing the hypothesis of postponement of the Napoli match. This is Casini’s answer, who was at the Salerno stadium yesterday evening: “We are in contact with the Viminale Observatory, if there are reasons of public order to move the match, the League will adapt”.
A strong and unitary push, which sees the forces of order, the Municipality of Naples and the blue club together to move Naples-Salernitana from Saturday 29 April to Sunday 30 April, to celebrate the possible scudetto celebration of the city on the same day. This is what emerges from the table that was held on Tuesday at the prefecture of Naples, after a weekend that greatly shortened Napoli’s race towards the arithmetic certainty of the Scudetto: Juventus’ home victory and Lazio’s knockout against Turin in fact made possible the closure of the championship as early as next weekend if Napoli beat Salernitana and Lazio fail to win at the San Siro with Inter. A double possible result that leads to a double party with the current calendar, given that Osimhen and his teammates will play on Saturday at 3pm and Lazio on Sunday at 12.30.
