In the Naples area these days the earth is unfortunately shaking with worrying regularity. Nino Simeone, councilor of Municipality of Naples, spoke to New Point Radio after the earthquake shocks felt in the Campania capital, focusing on the state of the Maradona stadium which will host the match on Sunday Naples of Calzona and the Lecce by Gotti. Below are his words reported by TuttoMercatoWeb.
The situation
Yesterday’s two tremors scared us, the whole city felt them with fear. We have been living with bradyseism for years now, we should get used to it like the Japanese, but unfortunately we are always careful. The Mayor has reassured everyone, so there is no need to be alarmist now. The city’s facilities are all in good condition, including the Maradona.
Everything under control
Everything is under control. I spoke to those in charge of structural checks inside the stadium, no problems emerged upon initial visual inspection. The seismic event can also create less obvious problems, but the Maradona is continuously monitored and preserved with regular maintenance. The safety of fans and those who use the stadium comes first. There will be no closure of sectors or any restrictions for safety reasons against Lecce.
The match, therefore, should not be at risk. The hope, in any case, beyond Sunday’s match, is that tranquility will soon return to the inhabitants of those areas and that the earth will stop shaking to allow everyone to return to normality.
