It is a Tuesday of fear and doubts for Italian football. Genoa yesterday reported that there are 14 positives in covid-19 between the squad and the coaching staff, after having experienced the contagion of Perin on Saturday and that of Schone on Sunday, news that led to postpone his trip to Naples and the start of the game. The situation caused new controversies about the protocol and about football in general, which for many should stop 'sine die'. For now, the first solution will be to postpone the match between the rossoblu and Torino, scheduled for next Saturday, although according to the ‘Corriere della Sera’ a 14-day break for the entire championship would be being studied, taking advantage of the selection break to reorganize the protocol.
The situation of Naples, Genoa's rival last Sunday, is worrying. The images of the tángana went viral in the final minutes of the match (especially a face to face between Masiello and Osimhen), and now in the partenopea entity await the results of the new tests. Today the players underwent the first round, the results of which will arrive tomorrow, although to be sure we have to wait for the second, which will take place on Friday.
The team azzurro, then, he will not have certainty about possible infections until Saturday, just one day before the game with Juventus, a fundamental confrontation that Gattuso will have to prepare in very complicated conditions. Serie A will meet between today and tomorrow to take further action. The virus has regained strength in Italy and everything that worked in the summer seems to be no longer valid.
