For something that's out of Napoli's control.
Juventus have been handed the 3-0 victory by default and Napoli docked one point, as the Disciplinary Commission rules the Partenopei didn’t follow the COVID-19 protocol.
Napoli did not make the trip to Turin for the Serie A Week 3 fixture on October 4 because they had two players test positive for COVID-19, Piotr Zielinski and Eljif Elmas.
The club argued it had been banned from travelling by the local ASL (health authority), which urged the team to self-isolate as a precaution.
Juve and the Lega Serie A pointed out this had been taken into account by the existing COVID-19 protocol accepted by all the clubs before the season began and two cases did not warrant pulling out of the match.
The Disciplinary Commission has now ruled Napoli did not have enough reason to warrant missing the fixture.
The ASL could technically over-rule the Serie A protocol, but the investigation decided this did not warrant ‘force majeure’ – unforeseeable circumstances to prevent their journey.
As a result, Napoli are automatically owed a 3-0 defeat in the match that was not played, plus they are docked a point as punishment for not attending the scheduled encounter.
I'm a Juve fan, so I might be biased, but I sincerely think there was no other possible outcome for this case. Serie A has rules agreed from all clubs, these rules were decided to prevent the league from stopping each time someone tested positive to covid. And these rules of course differ from those that apply for the rest of the country. So what was the point in contacting the regional health board to ask for directions? Napoli knew(or should have known) that they were supposed to attend the game, just like Genoa and Milan did under the same circumstances.For something that's out of Napoli's control.
Maybe Napoli is seeing the bigger picture ~ health safety concerns.I'm a Juve fan, so I might be biased, but I sincerely think there was no other possible outcome for this case.

Asl can't legally ban anyone from traveling.That's a joke. I mean they (the whole team) are banned from travelling so what the f can they do? ignore what the ASL said? Geez.
Would it have happened had it been your club who didn't turn up?I'm a Juve fan, so I might be biased, but I sincerely think there was no other possible outcome for this case.

Why would they agree on the protocol in the first place then? It is bound to happen on multiple occasions... could it also be possible that they were missing some key players and they wanted to take advantage of this chance? If you know De Laurentis then it should be obvious that this is not a possibility to dismiss. If clubs behave like this everytime there will be a positive in the team, then there's no sense in playing at all. And not just in Italy, but in all the rest of Europe as well.Maybe Napoli is seeing the bigger picture ~ health safety concerns.
Gov and FIGC (aka Serie A) made a protocol to handle how football should handle Covid situations.If they're banned from travelling, by the actual law of the country, what were they supposed to do?
Still go there and play a game of football?!
And is a 3-0 defeat given not bad enough punishment?! Why also the point deducted. Very odd.
He sent a SUUUUUU via facebookdo goals go to Ronaldo or?

that's what GOATS do. respect and get well RonnieHe sent a SUUUUUU via facebook
that's exactly it.To be honest I can understand the decision. If someone at United called a public authority to ask if Bruno has to quarantine as he was in close contact with someone who tested positive, they would say yes. However the COVID football protocols allow Bruno to train and play.
Is that genuinely what they’re called, or has your autocorrect just sold you out on a public forum?I mean Nipples speakers are even criticizing Juventus for showing up.
Thanks for explaining.Gov and FIGC (aka Serie A) made a protocol to handle how football should handle Covid situations.
So Napoli first violated the protocol by letting their players going home after Zielinsky and then fully knowing ,going against what all 20 teams signed and discussed with Gov, went to Asl and ask for directions while they all knew what to do.
Why? because they knew that Asl can't tell someone "oh whatever man" if you call and ask they're gonna threat you like a normal citizen telling them "hi I have Covid what should I do?"
So it's Napoli that is in the wrong.
FIGC when Napoli asked to postepone the game clearly told them NO as there weren't the conditions but they still refused to go.
DO YOU EVEN KNOW! what's the punishment for them not following the quarantine? A FINE UP TO 1000euro!!! that's it.
So how people can still claim WTF LOLOLOL Napoli coudn't do anything are simply ignorant of what's the facts and the state of things.
Don't fall for those Nipples tricks
I like the idea he just signs on to furiously argue any situation he feels is an affront to Juventus.Is that genuinely what they’re called, or has your autocorrect just sold you out on a public forum?
You can claim it, but you just sound bitter as heck.I still claim Juventus has never won a single trophy in a honest way. =)

Sign him upDefault has scored more goals than United's highest scorer this season.
