People should take off their Juve tinted glasses.
Both Juve & the league were 100% certain that this game was not going to be played. And yet they both pretended everything was normal. Nothing special at all! Give me a break.
The league should have taken matters into their own hands. Decide whatever you want, but make a decision ffs. Avoid being a joke, for once.
There are international protocols. The Italian government gave their OK for that, and both the Lega and Juventus in this case are following them.
Napoli players got tested 3 times this week, we could’ve had some questions about the incubation period, but this wasn’t the discussion yesterday. I understand though, that it’s in nobody’s interests to take unnecessary risks.
The Lega and Juventus said they wanted to play by releasing official statements, Napoli said nothing. They had ~7 days to solve things.
Napoli somehow decides to follow a protocol from regional authorities, instead the international ones like all the other European clubs. In law international/national always goes before regional laws by my knowledge.
Its a silly and highly unprofessional situation, but it’s not Juventus who decides. It’s the Le. The world can blame us, but if they say we play, then we go and it’s as easy as that.
And there are also practical arguments, as we don’t know what the situation will be after a few months. I think that the show must go on, we need to play as much as possible, because the risk that we’ll face a new lockdown and after that a schedule with every 3 days a match is highly possible. Somehow Napoli thinks that they have the authority to decide when we play.
Besides all those facts, let’s be real. De Laurentiis is a clown. He’s the only president who could create this situation.
