Napoli: 'Play Juve-Inter instead of Coppa'

Napoli have suggested “it would be fairer for all concerned if Juventus-Inter was played on Wednesday, postponing the Coppa Italia semi-finals to May.”
The fixture list has already been thrown into chaos by the Coronavirus outbreak, with over 1,100 cases confirmed and 29 deaths.
With the five Serie A games set to be played behind closed doors this weekend – including Juventus-Inter – rescheduled to May 13, the Coppa Italia Final has also been moved to May 20.
Now Napoli have a new proposal and it’s set to radically shake everything up yet again.
“We are faced with an emergency of a global scale with the Coronavirus and must therefore respect the decisions, but football is nonetheless an industry that must be protected,” Napoli chief press officer Nicola Lombardo told Radio Kiss Kiss.
“To us, it seems that it would be fairer for all concerned if Juventus-Inter was brought forward to Wednesday, so the two Coppa Italia semi-finals can easily be postponed to May.
“Otherwise, the tournaments are going to be distorted by these changes. If games are going to be moved around anyway, it would be only right to ensure the fairness of the Serie A tournament and of the individual teams if Juventus-Inter is played on Wednesday and the two Coppa Italia semi-finals moved to May.”
The first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals has already been played, with Juventus-Milan set for this coming Wednesday March 4 and Napoli-Inter on Thursday March 5.
Juve-Milan would be open to fans from everywhere except the regions still under lockdown, which are Lombardy (the capital being Milan), Veneto and Emilia-Romagna.
