It couldn’t not happen. On the third day of the soccer championship, the ball machine has already got seriously stuck. First, the irregular postponement of Genoa-Turin due to the twenty-two cases of positivity to Covid-19 among the players and the staff of the taps, now the pantomime of Juventus-Naples with only one team on the field, while Gattuso and his athletes remained immobile in Campania in fiduciary isolation.
No, this program you do not have to do itBut nobody wants to admit it and nobody can afford not to stage it. Soccer, rhetorically used as an emblem of what is so desired “normal”It is because of the playful dimension to which the most abnormal thing in circulation belongs. Protocols, provisions, limited access, imperative sanitation regulations, nothing now saves the sideshow as disaffection grows faster than infections, with that substantial underlying fear of having to. “Living with the virus”, a general concept difficult to digest and that perhaps does not mean that everything can and should be As before.
The infamous FIGC health protocol, an at times comical document animated by a desperate desire not to stop the machines of the show, is revealed for what it is: waste paper. For weeks, months, this agreement between the club, the Federation and the government is seen as the simplest solution to guarantee “normality”, the deus ex machina capable of guaranteeing forever the functioning of the machines of the football show. It was made on the basis of Tsarist privileges, writing it in black and white but without even admitting it openly. But Tsarism we remember how it ended badly, and the ball seems to have the stability of Russia at the beginning of the 20th century.
In two weeks the protocol has collapsed. The fact that among its thousand streams it did not foresee outbreak management directives on equipment was the first sign. The postponement of the Genoa match overwhelmed by the positives, in addition to questioning the effectiveness of the protocol itself (are we so sure that it is slavishly followed by athletes and clubs?), Has shown the first holes. In the end, the lack of directives was compensated by referring to those of Uefa, which say that in case of multiple infections you can play with 12 players on the move + 1 goalkeeper available, and in any case you can only request a postponement per season. Translating, Uefa says we must play whatever it takes, and in theory Genoa-Turin could also have been played. Which is impractical and then shuts down with postponement.
After this, the case Juventus-Naples (with Azzurri coming back from 6-0 against Genoa, it is worth 3 points and two positive buffers, those of Zielinski and Elmas) revealed the impotence of the protocol, revealed that Tsarist privilege, told us that the King is naked and even a little disgusting to see. Juventus-Napoli shouted in our faces what we all knew but did not think about it, that is, that the football circus, in this situation, can only move on. a derogation regime permanent. This is the protocol, beyond all tragicomic prescriptions. Nothing more than the certification of how, to guarantee the football industry, the isolation and quarantine requirements for teams and technical personnel are different from those of mere mortals. All this, endorsed by the Ministry of Health by means of a circular. It is a pity that the Ministry of Health, in the country with the dumbest regional autonomy of all time, does not count anything compared to any other. territorial asl, responding in last instance only to the regional councils thanks to the “competence in health matters” guaranteed constitutionally. In short, if the going gets tough, it even leads to a conflict of attributions. So it doesn’t take much to wreck the bank.
Beyond any conspiracy about the dark maneuvers of By Laurentis (about which, personally, I can guess how, but why it puzzles me), the non-dispute Juventus-Naples is only the sublimation of a total political-administrative clash, mainly between levels of the State but not only, that even on the ball they love to do decisionism and at the same time rebound the ultimate responsibility for decisions so as not to disturb anyone.
I “without prejudice to the opinion of” that the protocol is full referring to the responsibilities of the ASL, the ministers of sport and health, as well as the CTS himself, who basically shrugged his shoulders, stating in various sauces that in the party is decided by sports bodies, but supervisory tasks depend on the local health authorities (who should therefore implement them?), the local health authority of Campania, which emphasizes how its communication on fiduciary quarantine If it were only the ordinary procedure for these situations, which perhaps became prescriptive for Napoli with the email sent to the club by the Region, all this miserably collapses the mythical normalizing force of the protocol. That piece of paper, a tsarist ukaz who decrees that the globe is on a different astral plane than the mass of his followers who seek it, quickly loses any strength if already any of the boyars he questions it.
By the way, in the lower series of amateur soccer, these fattarelli meanwhile are repeated on a large scale. Because there, health protocols are almost unmanageable, and athletes who do not have football as a job are not willing to run the risk of infections and quarantines to play muddy championships where hygiene is never the order of the day. In the slums the globe, the protocol is already worth less than zero. It was not that difficult for this to happen even in the shiny armored car A league, increasingly at risk of playing only for her and telling herself in the mirror that she is still beautiful.
