What a strange scene at the Allianz stadium in Turin. The starting grid has already been published. Fans and representatives of the press were there and even the filming music was already playing.
But a few minutes after the scheduled start, Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon was still standing on the pitch looking embarrassed at other responsible parties.
Referee Daniele Doveri and his team had already checked the field and were ready for kick-off.
Meanwhile, the message on a screen in the Juve booth read: “We are waiting for the guest team to arrive.”
Almost all the officials walked excitedly through the catacombs with their cell phones. There was absolute uncertainty.
The reason for these scenes is a real scandal.
After all, the stars of Naples were not in Turin at all, but at home.
The game has not started to date either, but for Juve it scored 3-0. Naples could not help being absent.
Crown outbreak in Napoli’s last rival
Originally, the southern Italians wanted to arrive in Turin on Saturday night, and only to undergo further tests there in the morning. Health authorities called this too dangerous, also and especially given the fact that Napoli were exposed to the virus a few days ago in the 6-0 win over CFC Genoa. The youngest opponent of the Neapolitans now has 22 confirmed crown cases, including 17 players.
SSC players Piotr Zielinksi and Elijf Elmas tested positive for the week; the corona virus was also detected in another employee.

Then, apparently, Naples decided to put all the players in domestic isolation. Players can only leave their apartment to train at the Castel Volturno headquarters. However, you must arrive at the training ground with your private car.
The exit was denied to the team of coach Gennaro Gattuso (42) despite the measures taken by the health authorities.
League versus authority
This creates a big problem as the league has decided to adhere to the UEFA guidelines. And these say that a game must take place if the team in question still has 13 players, including an available goalkeeper. However, the health authorities follow their own guidelines, which also have priority in Italy.
The game is rated 3-0 for Juve. Aftermath is very likely at the green table.
Juve president Andrea Agnelli commented on the events as follows: “Your (that of the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentis, editor’s note. Red.) The message was to postpone the game, which may be a legitimate concern, but there are clear rules and we have to stick to them. “
