On the fact that thefootball vintage that we are preparing to live is among the most troubled, peculiar and atypical in the history of Serie A there is no doubt. The doubts, however, remain with those who have to make the decisionswith today’s statements by the president of Lega Serie A, Lorenzo Casinito unleash the protest on social media.
Serie A and the sword of Damocles of the World Cup
Obviously, the great unknown and sword of Damocles is represented by the Worldwhich inexorably, from Monday 21 November to Sunday 18 December will break down on the league and will oblige the clubs to lay down their weapons and have to live with the need to see the players involved with the national teams leave Qatar and manage who will stay at home plate.
Hot start for Serie A
The first major effect of all of this is one early departure to the extreme, such as they had never seen before. Kick-off of the first day on the calendar August 13 at 6.30 pm, with Sampdoria and Milan hosting Atalanta and Udinese respectively. The shift even closes at Mid-August, when Napoli will visit Verona at 18.30 and Juventus will welcome Sassuolo at the Allianz Stadium. A departure that did not fail to make people discuss and attracted various criticisms, but which today could take on tragicomic contours.
Serie A, starting on August 13 in the balance
Yes, because, speaking on a visit to the Dacia Arena in Udine, President Casini made it clear without half measures that, if (prospect, for obvious reasons, highly probable) the hot these days should not fade before the start of the championship, it could too evaluate a shift in dates. Casini has, in fact, declared:
The first concern is climate-related, given that the possible persistence of the current temperatures would make difficult to start on August 13th. Certainly, it will be an anomalous season due to the break linked to the World Cup, which it will be sad to witness without the participation of the Italian national team.
Serie A, Casini’s words trigger social media
A statement that has rekindled the controversy and attracted half an infinity of fan comments. Many ironically: “But everyone knows that in mid-August 10/15 degrees are expected,” comments someone and again: “It usually snows in August, let’s be calm. Gigi D’Alessio new president of the LEGA AND FIGC please “,” Think about it first, right? That the heat of August is nothing new ”.
But there are more critical comments: “If the heat persists it will be difficult to ask workers to work under heated sheds below 41º“, And then:” 2 years ago after the lockdown you played quietly in the summer not to lose the TV money“. Many those who underline: “Now who is playing friendlies?” and recommend: “Just play in the evening you don’t die “. Finally, a worried fan writes: “Oh we don’t make jokes that I bought the ticket for low-cost flights “.
