“ADL wrote to me. I replied that Juve complies with the regulations”

“I believe what it is essential is to make a minimum of clarity. We have very clear protocols for these situations and it was predictable what would happen with a positive case. In this case, the FIGC protocol applies, which refers to a circular approved by the CTS. We must go into fiduciary isolation ”. This is the comment of the president of the Juventus, Andrea Agnelli, who spoke with Sky Sport, about the non-exit of the Naples a Torino for the championship challenge that was not played.

“In our case – Agnelli continues – we went to a structure agreed with the ASL that allows us to continue training and playing. I must say that there is a lot of clarity. It is not a question of the Government or the football system, the protocol was studied by the federation with the Government. It is evident that it is a living document, because in the future we will discover facets that are not organized on the table. The important thing is to have that desire to want to play, which is part of the sport “

“It is clear that the priority is the protection of public health – continues the president -, we have a protocol that allows us to continue. Summarizing the specific case, I must say that when a positivity is found, the bubble must be created immediately, so we remember the players and everyone in the team group.

Contacts with De Laurentiis? He wrote me a message. I replied that I would stick to the regulations, as Juventus always does. His message was: Let’s postpone the game. But we have rules and regulations. The request may be legitimate, but we have rules that tell us how to behave. If we have to complete sporting events we must know how to manage cases of positivity. We have increased the frequency, we make three tampons a week. I would have left, but I don’t think the ASL in Turin would have issued that statement. If ASL intervenes, there has been some breach of the initial protocol. The short is internal, not external.

Finally, the president pronounces on the transfer market: “Church? The reasoning always supported is that mine are the best players available.” you have to ask Paratici, I don’t deal with this part of society ”.
