Napoli got tangled up in the rules. Mastrandrea ruling protects national football. The indecent canea of ​​De Luca & C .. Agnelli avoids poisoning your people. Calciopoli Scudetti, there is a way to get them back …

According to the Federal Prosecutor, Napoli got tangled up in the rules. And he explained it in detail, almost meticulous. Napoli canceled the flight to Turin before communicating that they would not travel. Since it is not my custom to make a trial on the intentions (and therefore excluding that Napoli did it subtly), two hypotheses remain reasonably. The first: that fear has prevailed in the club, after the team had played with Genoa, as is known, decimated by infections. The second: that the cards have been misinterpreted. Moral: Napoli defeated by three to zero and with a penalty point. But there is another aspect highlighted by Mastrandrea’s device: the position of the Napoli team doctor. Who could be responsible for having allowed the “home” to the players, without having demanded (following the positivity of two elements of the squad) the expected “bubble” of isolation. This was found by the federal inspectors in the “investigation supplement”. And still, it seems, they are not finished. This could go beyond sports justice.

I agree with those who explain that the story is only just beginning. Napoli will appeal (as its right) in the degrees provided for by sports justice. In case it will go to the Tar, to the ordinary one. I believe that sports justice (despite the inappropriate statements of the appeal judge Sandulli: “The ranking is not done with Covid”) could confirm the provision of Mastrandrea. But the TAR could overturn it. Opening a conflict of competences. The country’s situation is objectively delicate, due to a pandemic. Football needs to end the season: the interests involved are enormous.

Mastrandrea’s decision also appears as a warning to those who had thought of doing like Napoli. A decision that protects national football.

All this does not mean that the chances (magistrates, writers, journalists, singers, actors, doctors, former players, former managers, politicians) were found to be indecent. De Luca’s words cannot be declassified as a mere fan purge.

Nonetheless, everything could evaporate. Juventus avoided appearing in court. If the verdict is overturned, Juve will not appeal and will play. Andrea Agnelli reiterated this at the shareholders’ meeting. Solution that I do not despise: you win on the pitch, not at the table. However, avoid Agnelli to submit to the date of January 13, assumed for a possible recovery. And not only because that date would be close (four days) to the match against Inter and eight from the SuperCoppa match against Napoli. The “prince” is often forced, for reasons of state, to make decisions that do not please him. Machiavelli may be illuminating. But Agnelli avoid poisoning your people.

The shareholders’ meeting certified a “red” (expected) of almost 90 million euros. Reiterated that Juve has nothing to do with the Suarez affair, and that Juve is an injured party due to criminal infiltrations in its curve, Agnelli announced (Football Director) the new role of Cherubini alongside Paratici. And then Agnelli explained that Juve has not given up on getting the league titles canceled by Calciopoli: they are waiting in the Tar. But the Tar president Agnelli will not give you satisfaction. Go to Strasbourg and entrust the case to the lawyer Dupont. It seems he never lost an appeal in that forum.

Saturday will compete in Crotone. The last purchase will also play, Chiesa. There will be Morata and Kulusevski. There will be no Ronaldo, positive for the virus. Not yet Dybala, struggling with intestinal problems. Not Mckennie, not Ramsey. Let’s see what Juventus is worth without them.
