Juventus-Napoli will not be played, at least not on Sunday, October 4. At 9:30 p.m. the referee Doveri officially whistled the end of a match that had never started, as Napoli did not go to Turin and therefore did not appear at the stadium. The Azzurri, after the news of the positivity of the coronavirus from Zielinski and Elmas, on Saturday were blocked by the ASL and have been in home isolation since that time. Pirlo announced the formation, the Juve players took to the field, before the gaze of a few fans (only a few of the possible 1,000 remained). Juventus president Andrea Agnelli also spoke, reiterating his club’s position: De Laurentiis asked me to postpone the match – he told Sky Sport – I replied that there are regulations that must be respected. On Tuesday the decision of the sports judge is expected, who could decide for the defeat of Napoli, who would then appeal immediately. Tomorrow, Sports Minister Spadafora will meet with FIGC and Lega Calcio to study possible changes in the protocol.

Agnelli’s intervention

Around 9:15 p.m., a few minutes from the official ruling of the match, Andrea Agnelli explained the position of Juve, clarifying the reasons that led the Juventus club to appear at the Stadium anyway, despite the fact that Naples had decided not to go to Turin. I do not want to get an idea of ​​the situation or not – his words in the microphones of Sky Sport -. We have protocols that are very clear, and it is foreseeable that it would have been possible to have a positive case in Covid. Sooner or later it happens to everyone. At that point, you trust the protocol and know what to do. You go into fiduciary isolation in an ASL-agreed structure, and in doing so, you can train and play. There is a lot of clarity, you know what happens, what we did yesterday when two people tested positive. We have isolated ourselves in our structure. It is not about the football system, the protocol was studied with the Government, it is obvious that a living regulation, with the days we discovered facets that had not been taken into account, the important thing is to always have that spirit of sports loyalty that is the basis of all. .

Message from de Laurentiis

Then the Juve president told a message sent by his colleague Aurelio De Laurentiis, who yesterday in a PEC had made Napoli’s position clear: We texted each other, he wrote to me. I replied that Juventus complies with the regulations.. I wanted to postpone the game, a request that may be legitimate. But in all industries there are regulations and they must be followed. If we do not comply with the regulations, the first mistake we make is not as athletes, but as citizens. How would we have behaved the other way around? I would have gone to Naples, but the ASL would not have issued that statement.ASL does not intervene if the protocol is observed, if I do not observe it, it intervenes. The ASL depends on the Ministry of Health, the internal short circuit, not external. I prefer to win on the field. Forever.

The opinion of the Cts

Meanwhile, on Napoli’s failure to go to Turin the Scientific Technical Committee also expressed, who tried to clarify with a note: The CTS, in regards to the case of positive players for the infection by the Sars-CoV-2 virus, recalls the legal obligations established for the containment of the virus infection and reaffirms the responsibility of the competent Local Health Authority and, as far as their authority allows, the company doctor for the players and the doctor in charge of the other workers.
