A crucial return to start getting serious. There are no other ways to describe the importance of Cristiano Ronaldo. One who, the secret of Pulcinella, comes first and foremost in the idea of football by Andrea Pirlo. On the other hand, it could not be otherwise: 5 Champions League and as many Golden Balls. Needless to say more.
In short, CR7 is damned missing. First of all to Juventus, which in the last 4 games had to do without him. And the opponents too, with Leo Messi scoring last night at the Stadium and who would have liked to face his long-time rival. Appointment, therefore, postponed to Camp Nou, where – touching iron – the Portuguese champion will be called upon to provide a performance of his own.
Eyes on current events, however. With the now famous tampon in the forefront. Unfortunately, the latest tests to which the 7 Juventus underwent all gave positive results for COVID-19. Rumors – unconfirmed – talk about low viral load; certainly there is only the anger of the person concerned who, understandably disheartened by the moment, did not miss his dissapunto via Instagram. Unless, subsequently, remove a badly expressed message.
And if in the Champions League in terms of returning to the field, obviously with a negative buffer, the regulation provides for a deadline of 24 hours in advance for home matches and 48 for away matches, the focus now shifts to the championship. With Madama busy on Sunday, at 3 pm, at the ‘Dino Manuzzi’ of Cesena against Spezia.
The Italian protocol provides for periodic tampons throughout the week, with one – 48 hours before the match – essential for returning to the field. Those who are negative two days before the challenge, through the classic procedure linked to medical examinations, can return to the field.
Meanwhile, Pirlo clings to the obligatory offensive tandem proposed against Crotone and Barcelona: Dybala-Morata. With the first still (well) far from the best form, while the second is towering to the sound of goals canceled by the VAR. Looking forward to better times. Waiting, above all, for Cristiano Ronaldo.
