Turrini: ‘Ferrari denounced by seven teams, that’s what’s underneath. Chaos calendars? Zhang is right, Agnelli and servility ‘| First page

Dear Leo Turrini, I fear that we will have to start from the virus.
“I’m afraid too. We live a moment, alas long, unprecedented in national history. And we are all on the verge of a nervous breakdown. “Italian football included.
“Look, it happened to me to say, right in this pleasant location, that there is no shield that is worth an epidemic. It seemed to me an absolute banality. ”

And instead…
“Instead I fear the usual Winston Churchill was right, who was not a Liverpool midfielder. With a thread of cruelty mixed with contempt, he declared that Italians fight wars as if they were football matches and live football as if it were a war. The theater of the last few days has confirmed this. I just don’t understand how last Saturday, in the absence of any scientific indication!, The Football League may have decreed, together with other matches, the postponement of Juve-Inter, scheduled without audience for the next day. A senseless gesture “.

They brought up the damage to the image of the country.
“Really! Not even Trump, who is Trump, would dare to argue that the image of America passes through the Lakers-Clippers stands. Sorry, we are all worried about our loved ones, in a panic for the elderly, we begin to feel the economic effects of the virus and someone imagines the live applause of the fans for a reversal of CR7 or a dribble of Lukaku fundamental for the Homeland ?! ? But how do you do it? ”

Someone suspected Juventus pressure not to lose the advantage, undoubtedly, of the field factor.
“No, no. Juve has always publicly said that it would comply with the provisions of government, regions and prefectures. Then, but Agnelli has nothing to do with it, there have always been and there will always be those who are greedy for servility, those who are more realistic than the king. But it’s another matter. ”

Your president Zhang, your because you are an Interista, got very angry and was highly criticized.
“Instead Zhang, apart from tones and personal references that others will eventually have to judge, was on the right side, as the epilogue of the story shows. It will be played behind closed doors and for a month because, but look a bit, there is no shield that is worth an epidemic. We always go back there. I add one thing, certainly unpopular: the sooner we realize that football is not the navel of the world and the better it will be for everyone “.

But in the end is this championship regular or not?
“In the meantime, we hope to be able to take him to port, which is not certain. The conditions are extreme, there are teams that have been stuck for three weeks in the league like Inter, Juve haven’t played for eleven days. All this is not normal, but I would like to understand that it depends on the virus and not on a monstrous plot. Then there were the Lega Calcio mistakes I mentioned, but I recognize that it is not easy for anyone to manage this phase, at any level “.

Speaking of plots, could you explain what is happening in Formula One between Ferrari and rivals like Mercedes and Red Bull?
“I’ll try, so I get a little distracted. So, are you aware of a mystery shrouded in an enigma? I start from the beginning. Late summer 2019. Suddenly the Redhead begins to fly. Leclerc and Vettel win three GPs in a row and conquer one pole after another. ”

To the general amazement.
“Exact. Amazement and pissed off of rivals, who suspect irregularities on the engine of the Cavallino “.

Were they right?
“Wait up. Urged by Mercedes and Red Bull, the international federation opens an investigation. That results in nothing done. ”

But then…
“Wait again. The rivals, however, do not give up and slide a very detailed explanation of the systems that Ferrari uses to fly its car on the tables of the FIA ​​inspectors … ”

And where did the tip come from?
“Here we would like Le Carre ‘, the author of the Mole. In any case, the FIA, using the information provided by Deep Throat, reopens the investigation. However, it cannot prove the willful misconduct by Ferrari, which in fact had given a very daring interpretation of the technical regulation, very close to the limit, but not patently illegal “.

What a mess!
“More or less. It turns out that Fia and Ferrari are transiting, to use legal language. That is, they agree to disagree, in the meantime the federation changes the offending rule in an unfavorable sense to the Red and this would be archived. No sporting process, contents of the agreement between the secreted parties. Except … ”

Just what?
“Apart from Alfa and Haas, who are customers of Maranello, the other 7 teams arise. They make an official protest, demand transparency and threaten compensation claims. ”

Who is right and who is wrong?
“In F1, the opacity of decision making has unfortunately been a practice for decades. This is yet another battle for power, over things that remain obscure to the common enthusiast. On the other hand, the mystery of the Soffia fascinates me greatly. Ferrari wins little and, moreover, it doesn’t have many friends in the pits. ”

But do you know who Deep Throat is?
“Let’s move on to the next question.”

The last. You still haven’t told me who wins the Italian Derby.
“Public health. And thank goodness”.
