I hope you are there be on safe.

Yes, saw this news in several websites. Many Serie A but also Serie B and C are postponed and things isn't clear yet for Inter in next Thursday game in Europa League...

I didn't expect that things are going to be so serious in Italy with Corona virus.
Health and safety are above all, but I think that this is a positive event for Inter as players will have the chance to get some rest.

3 games are now postponed and many more probably on the next 2 weeks, safety 1st.

Juventus won yesterday and CR7 scored, if he will score again on his next played game on SerieA he will do an ALL time Serie A record for goals on consecutive games.

I also just learned this news, I think the corona virus in Italy is not very meaningful, I mean far from being worried. But in reality it makes the match postponed. I hope this virus is not even bigger, because it is feared that it will interfere with the big match in Italy.

One more game has been postponed

Torino - Parma is now TBA

Milan are now getting better and are now in 7th place and the competition is very tight so this season Milan will not have any significant changes but it will not be as bad as the previous game before Zlatan came.
I think Milan need a player who can be relied on in the front lines and the middle will be stronger in defense and attackers if you rely on Zlatan then it will not be able in my opinion.

The unbelievable come back to the top of AC Milan after the free transfer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic has changed the race to the last spot for Champions League. Now, it is the race for Atalanta (they temporarily have taken the lead position), AS Roma and AC Milan.

With all due respect to the excellent history of winnings in Champions League of AC Milan, I wish they will appear in Champions League next year.

Zlatan has not been in his best phase (he is older and older) but his effects on the whole AC Milan team, their mentality and ambition in particular, is beyond my imagination.

Ibrahimovic is a born leader and a very charismatic player who is always hungry for victory and never gives up.
Just look at how he resurrected Rebic, who was in deep crisis before his arrival in Milan or how he yells at his players if they don't try hard enough.
He is a leader and I believe also as a very successful football coach in the future.

Could he be a coach after he retires? I did not think there.
Yeah indeed Ibrahimovic was made the leader at Ac Milan even though Milan have improved up the ranks unlike before it was in 10th position and now it is in 7th position.
I think Ibra did not make a good contribution to Ac Milan despite being in the forefront but still unable to score in every match.

Looks like Roma vs Lecce hasn't been cancelled. Let's see: Lecce are on a winning streak while Roma are winless in their last 4 league games (1D 3L) and their last home win was in December   Not keen on backing underdogs today but Lecce double chance @3.30 isn't too shabby.

3 games are now postponed and many more probably on the next 2 weeks, safety 1st.

You know things are really bad when entire towns in some regions are being quarantined

He helped both AC Milan and Ante Rebic improved their forms but to say Ibra will become a good coach, I don't believe it.

Even think of his next career as a coach, I don't think it will happen. And if it happens, he will not become a good coach. Genaro Gattuso is an example. A good, energetic, ambitious and victory-enthusiast players do not always become good coaches.

Gattuso failed with his clubs: Sion, AC Milan, Napoli. Another good player, bad coach from AC Milan: Fillipo Inzaghi.

Only games taking place in Northern Italy (2 regions tho) are cancelled. Roma is playing in Stadio Olimpico in Rome so it is allowed. BTW Roma is leading until now 1-0

The sad thing is that this virus is a bastard, he needs up to 20 days for the incubation stage so when 1 person is discovered is already late.
It will be the same in other countries too soon.

Anyway, Lazio won and kept the streak near the top.

Ah they are talking also about next game on EURO cup for Inter, it can be

delayed
played with closed stadium
played on a 3rd part stadium

There is at least one confirmed SARS-Cov-2 infected case in Rome, according to yesterday report. The most terrible thing in Italy is the authority has not yet identified who is the first case of this disease. Consequently, they have not yet been able to trace the contacted people for infected cases and quarrantine them.

Let's enjoy matches till worst thing come but don't forget to wear mask if join visit stadium for matches.

I agree. What happened in Italy raised a big public health issue over the Europe, not only in Italy.

yes, and it is serious, they would not cancel carneval in Venice if it is not, hope that everything will pass without too much trouble, but from the information that are currently circling around, we must be aware of the momentum and possible spread over Europe...

I heard Barcelona will face special measures when arriving to Italy to face Naples tomorrow.
Serie A games and other major events risk to be reported or cancelled and if Corona virus will continue spreading then Germany, France and Switzerland will be at high risk in the short term..

I really hope that Ronaldo is able to score again in the next game but in the next match Juventus will face Inter on (2/3/2020) and I think this will be a fierce match..

IF they will play, for now the most probable situation is to play the game without people at the stadium.

[Pmalek]

Exactly. According to Italian SKY, the Serie A President has sent a letter to the Italian government asking that matches shouldn't be postponed because of the tight schedule. Instead he suggests that they should be played with empty stands.

This is the best option to make sure the season would end as at when due and also to avoid a packed and rushed schedule when the end of the season is close. It's sad, but we have to live with this, the virus we hope is curtailed quickly enough, but also people's safety comes first, so an empty stadium would work, even if it'll make the match boring and unspectacular, but in this situation, it's unavoidable.

I really hope that Ronaldo is able to score again in the next game but in the next match Juventus will face Inter on (2/3/2020) and I think this will be a fierce match..  

Ronaldo is on an impressive scoring streak of late. Top of the table clashes always come with its difficulty, but if there's any man worthy of overcoming that, it's Ronaldo.

This is really tricky situation for big clubs as season is going to end and champions League is also in knock out stage and they are facing this empty stadiums just because of Corona Virus hopefully this will all go ahead peacefully for all players and spectators.

a lot is on the stake here, it is not just Serie A, they have to stop Corona spreading, or their entire tourist season will be shut down, so empty stadiums are only solutions for now, could not see that anyone will allow to have 40+ thousand people on one spot, with this rate of virus spread

On a Milan fan's standpoint (my standpoint) I don't think we need to rush things just by qualifying into the Champions League next season. Because to be honest being a fourth, thirds, or even in the second spot of the Serie A table right now doesn't show any good competitive advantage when it comes to the Champions League. If Milan rush things just to be qualified their next transfer window would be a mess for them trying to overspend on everything just to somehow "improve" their chances of winning some games in the CL. Aside from that there is still an issue about the future of their manager, Stefano Pioli, with both Ragnick and Allegri being suggested to be the next manager next season their will be a new system in place that majority of the players aren't aware of. In my opinion as a Milan fan I'll be more than happy to see them qualify in the Europa League and see if they are worthy enough to be in the Champions League.
