“The team is shocked by Pablo Mari’s adventure. Last night I heard our players and they were crying, I talked to Pessina (ss the team’s captain) for half an hour.
This is friends locker room. That’s why we asked to postpone the Bologna game, we’ll see what happens.” stressed the Executive Director of Monza, Adriano Galliani, with his comments on Friday (October 28), but his request was not heard.
As reported by Italian media, the experienced consultant’s request was not accepted by the Italian league due to a lack of alternative dates The game between Monza and Bologna for the 12th matchday of Serie A will take place as usual on the originally planned date next Monday (October 31st) at 9:45 p.m.
“An alternative date was considered, but due to the World Cup the game would be played on February 9, 2023, close to the second-round match Bologna vs Monza scheduled for February 12, which the Emilians did not like.
Then the possibility of postponing the game and taking place 1-2 days later instead of Monday (10/31) was discussed to give Pablo Mari time to leave the hospital, but Monza didn’t like this solution.
Therefore, it was decided to continue the game as originally planned.” claimed the Italian website “Sportmediaset” in its report.
