Everton have given the go-ahead to postpone: do not play against an opponent weakened by virtus and with the danger that the bunch will spread further. It’s the abc of sport
What happens in a league where it is still remembered that soccer is also played in the name of sporting values? It happens that if there is a team that has a Covid-19 cluster underway, with five positives among the players and others in the squad, that asks to be able to postpone the game to be able to play it in fair conditions, on the other hand it does not do so. They find a hopeful niet to take advantage of the situation but an understanding yes. Why not play if the opponent is disabled? It is the abc of sport.
This is what happened today between Manchester City and Everton. The game was supposed to be played tonight at Goodison Park. Three days ago, Guardiola’s team registered two cases of positivity among the players: Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus, as well as others in the squad. They were joined by three other players, as well as other staff. Obviously there is a group going and playing would have been unsportsmanlike (one does not take advantage of the weaknesses of the others) and dangerous for the spread of the virus itself. Even absurd considering that in the United Kingdom they close everything again. We recall that on the Sunday before Juventus-Napoli the Azzurri had faced Genoa, who later found 17 positives. The fear of the cluster was decisive.
In the UK, obviously, things play out differently. The two clubs have found out, Ancelotti has given the go-ahead to postpone the match. At first, the Premier confirmed the match, then changed their mind and surrendered to the tests. No one has uttered phrases like: “I am sorry for the other teams that played in inferior conditions to respect the protocol.”
It looks like another planet. Instead, it’s just the UK, and the protagonist is an Italian. But in our country they will not understand. Neither the lords of Italian football nor Juventus.
