Damn international games. What a cluster F! 15 players gone???

[Artan]

probably some players will catch covid until then

[Sleeping Giant]

Draw is the best possible result I expect but Gattuso plays bit negative, boring game. Let's see...

[nefremo]

The best possible result is 3 points. We are good enough to take 3 points against anyone. We'll see how the game goes, but Napoli is not all that. They play slow football with sterile possession. They have great individuals, yes, and that can always cause problems. But at the end of the day, we play a more dynamic, intense football. The game can swing either way. But i'm no longer in the mindset that a draw is the best result here.

[Bennacer]

I think a fully fit Rebic will work wonders for this team. And with Sale injured, this is an unique possibility to try both Leao and Rebic at the same time as wingers. As i said, this could be really devastating.

With Gattuso as a manager, Napoli dont plays as flamboyant football as with Sarri, but they are more a solid unit who takes few risks. Home advantage is reduced with 90% with no spectators in the stadiums, so i think we will have a solid chance here.

During the HT of the friendly TUR v CRO, Domagoj Vida has received his covid test result which was positive. Hakan even though on the bench risks 14 days of isolation.

Screw these international useless games.

Screw these international useless games.

Quick question: will the entire team be isolated? If they still have NT games yet to be played, should those be abandoned?

Also, you said the test was during the HT. I suppose the result didn't come out before the second half? If it did, would the second half be called off too?

This is beyond ridiculous. I can't believe FIFA and UEFA would still go ahead with those stupid games.

How can he be there is a test he is *waiting the results for* That is criminal level in any situation not just football (showing up for work, going to party, etc.) First guilty is Croatian team, second guilty UEFA.
