Serie A Fixture Postponed Due to Superstition

The thirty-sixth day of Serie A has begun, but the League is already thinking about the next one. The reason is simple, a request from Aurelio De Laurentiis that was supported by the League. As reported by La Repubblica, the president of Napoli would like to postpone the match with Fiorentina in the next round of the championship. This request was also accepted by the president of the championship, Lorenzo Casini, who tried to convince the Viola to move the match. The reason for the request to postpone the match is not due to Napoli's extra championship commitments that require time to recover or prepare for a match in the best way. The reason that prompted president Aurelio De Laurentiis to ask for the match with Fiorentina to be moved is the date of the game. The match, in fact, is scheduled for Friday the 17th. Just superstition, therefore, for the president of the Azzurri who would like to play on another day because that date is "unlucky". Scrolling through social media, it is possible to come across several Italian fans of all teams who have criticized the issue. In particular, those of Roma have criticized the attitude of all parties involved that opposed the postponement of the match with Udinese, scheduled for April 25 at 20.00. "Moving the game with Udinese no, accommodating a superstitious request yes," reads a post by a fan, while another adds: "The problem is not the request itself, but if it were to be accommodated."
