Four phantom matches and mess with Naples

Covid outbreaks among Serie A teams caused four postponed games. Local health authorities stopped Bolonia, Udinese, Salernitana and Turin, so your rivals, Inter, Fiorentina, Venice and Atalanta, had to go to the stadiums even knowing that there would be no contest. They all opted for a training session, complying with the rules and winning with an administrative 3-0, at least for now. The most likely thing, as happened in Juve-Napoli last year, is that the teams will earn their resources and Serie A will have to give a new date to the matches that were not played.. While, the League announced the new protocol: if a club has 13 players available between the first team and Primavera (with a doorman), will be obliged to play. With this rule, seeing more games postponed is almost impossible.

Napoli, finally, could dispute its confrontation with Juventus, despite living a huge outbreak (Lozano, Malcuit, Osimhen, Meret, Mario Rui, Spalletti and several members of the coaching staff). The southern health authorities also put quarantined Zielinski, Rrahmani and Lobotka, for having been positive contacts and not having a third dose of vaccine. The club lined them up from minute one anyway, recalling that the protocol of the A league it allowed the “home-work” journey with social isolation. There will be more controversy.
