Napoli boss Rino Gattuso says Serie A is a “distorted league” at the moment due to all of the postponed matches.

It was announced yesterday that five games were rearranged for May 13, including the Derby D’Italia, as the Coronavirus spreads in the northern part of the country.

The situation could prove extremely problematic towards the end of the season if Italian sides advance deep into European competitions.

Napoli coach Gattuso says there has to be some level of continuity to the league.

The situation could prove extremely problematic towards the end of the season if Italian sides advance deep into European competitions.

Napoli coach Gattuso says there has to be some level of continuity to the league.

“We need to give regularity, it doesn’t make sense to play one game today and the other on May 13 because the situations change,” said Gattuso in his post-game press conference.

“The league is distorted at the moment, playing in a month or two is totally different.

“Playing with teams that haven’t played for two weeks is totally different in respect to those who are playing now.

“There is a lot of money at stake, as you could’ve expected. You've got to do things properly, it’s not the same playing in different moments.”

Napoli’s game did go ahead last night, and the Partenopei beat Torino 2-1 at the Stadio San Paolo.
