Idea for the Italian Cup: the final four!

MILAN – The agreement found yesterday by the League Council leaves three games in limbo: Juventus-Milan and Napoli-Inter, the return of the Italian Cup semi-finals, and Inter-Sampdoria on the 25th day of the championship. He refers to this situation Beppe Marotta: «It is important to meet immediately at the meeting and develop a common strategy to give regularity to the championship and guarantee management continuity for our companies». Inter is more aware of the problem because it has two backlog matches, with no dates in the event of a successful continuation of the journey in the Europa League and the Italian Cup. In Via Rosellini they will take time until the outcome of the Nerazzurri’s Europa League round of 16 with Getafe (return to Spain on March 19). An elimination would release four dates. Otherwise, the risk of clogging would become increasingly concrete. For this reason, the idea of ​​an Italian season queue beyond the last day of the championship, May 24, is taken into consideration. In this case, the authorization of UEFA should be sought and negotiations with the Federations for the national teams committed to the European Championships. Nyon will not give the go-ahead to the Italian Cup final on 20 May at the Olimpico. It is not possible to obtain an extension to the mandatory release of the stadium in Rome for the European Championships, set for 18 May.
