Gravina on the supports: ‘I trust government recognition will soon arrive’

The president of the FIGC Gabriele Gravina spoke on various issues. From the new protocol to the accident of the Church, passing through the Mancini national team. “Is the new Covid protocol approved in the State-Regions waiting for the approval of the CTS? I hope it is the result of work carried out by the FIGC with the Government, in conjunction with the Regions – he told Adnkronos -. It is a protocol that recognizes the responsibility of sport, football in particular, and interpenetrates the protection of health with the needs of interpretative clarity of our world in the relationship with the local health authorities “. The document that was approved yesterday and now must have the endorsement of the CTS, provides for the blocking of the entire team only if the number of positives is greater than 35% of the members of the athletes’ group. In this way, the discretion of the ASL will be reduced to allow a uniform management of cases of positive covid. It will be necessary to see on what number of players the percentage will have to be calculated, the hypothesis is a squad of 25. “There will be no exceptions. We are confronting ourselves with the Leagues, but the Federation will decide in a short time. Having received the OK from the CTS, a circular from the Ministry of Health will be required to make it operational, I hope as early as this weekend “.

Gravina then talks about the measures in support of the clubs (“I trust that concrete recognitions will soon arrive from the Government”), and about the possible risk of competitions behind closed doors like a year ago: “I hope there is no need – he observes -, but we are inevitably linked to the contagion curve. Despite the divisions, also on this occasion our movement has shown its maturity ”. The FIGC president then dwells on the threats received yesterday, through two banners, by Juve number one Andrea Agnelli (“An obscene, unspeakable act, to be condemned across the board”, by the National team (“I hope that in March we will be left behind the most difficult moment of this new wave of Covid “), and of Chiesa (” Sorry for the injury, as happened for Spinazzola we will have to go out on the pitch and win for him “.
