The shift to just 48 hours away from the 33rd day races caused many difficulties to the away teams
Not only for away fans. The postponement of the games scheduled today of the 33rd day of Serie A following the death of Pope Francis, with the relative recovery set for Wednesday 23 April at 18.30, caused many problems also to the companies committed away from home. Here is the situation on a case -by -case basis.
Turin-Udinese
–
When, just before 10.30, the official of the postponement of the race scheduled at 12.30 at the Olimpico Grande Torino arrived, Udinese was practically preparing to take the field: staff and warehouse workers had already placed the race kits and the equipment inside the changing rooms and the stadium. The program was quickly changed: the team’s bus reached the plant, loaded all the equipment and then headed to Caselle airport, from which, with a Charter flight, the Friulian team returned to Udine. Runjaic has given players a free day, tomorrow the finish will be held and then the team will start again for Turin again. The grenade club, considering the little preparation for the postponement, has decided to “reward” those who cannot be present: “The buyers of the ticket for Turin-Udinese will have the opportunity to buy a coupon for Turin-Venezia, scheduled for Friday 2 May at 20.45, at the symbolic price of 1 euro”, reads a note released by the Granata Club.
Cagliari-Fiorentina
–
Moments of chaos, however, occurred in Cagliari for Raffaele Palladino’s team. Fiorentina players were forced to get off the plane that was about to take off and organize a new retreat to Cagliari quickly. In fact, he would have made no sense to return to Florence to start again tomorrow afternoon for Sardinia. The Viola Club did not hide its disappointment, because, lets a source know, “in the morning the Serie A League had made it known that the suspended races would not have been played this week”. Only after two hours did the Viola manage to find a hotel structure at the gates of Cagliari who could host the 50 people of the expedition. In addition, in a few hours the arrival of technical material from Florence for the finishing training of tomorrow, which, by the concession of Cagliari, will be carried out in the structures of the Sardinian club, has had to organize in a few hours. Nicola’s team, on the other hand, following the postponement decided to carry out a training session at the Assemini sports center.
Genoa-Lazio
–
Irritation is also filtered by Casa-Lazio after the postponement of the match against Genoa. Baroni and the team a few minutes after learning about the officer of the postponement returned from Genoa to Rome with a Charter flight, but tomorrow they will have to take the reverse path. Moreover, the Biancoceleste Club did not like the fact that he will then have to take the field on Saturday at 20.45 for the match against Parma and, as reported by Ansa, sent a formal protest letter to the League and, for knowledge, to the CONI and the FIGC. Lazio asks for a confrontation “to find an alternative and shared solution”, the “disappointment” is underlined for a choice “communicated without prior consultation with our company” and that “does not take into account the institutional commitments involving our club”. The biancoceleste club, “historical team of the capital, has in fact expressed its unanimous will and desire to participate in the homage” in His Holiness, scheduled on the same day “. Lazio speaks of “inappropriate overlap” which prevents participation “in a significant historical moment for the city of Rome and the whole Lazio community”. But the League does not consider the possibility of further movement of the match. Calendar problems, however, for the Vieira team, who will find himself facing the Como on Saturday 26 at 15 less than 72 hours after the recovery of the match against the biancocelesti and against an opponent who, having played on Saturday 19, will have 4 days of rest. The rossoblù today learned of the postponement during the neuromuscular awakening phase and decided to support a real training session in the afternoon.
Parma-Juventus
–
Return home, also taking advantage of the not excessive distance, for Juventus, who trained in the afternoon at Continassa after the news of the postponement of the Parma race. Tomorrow the finishing is scheduled and a new departure for Emilia.
