When will the Atalanta-Fiorentina match be played
The day chosen by the League for the recovery of Atalanta-Fiorentina is June 2nd, with the two teams taking the field at 18:00. This was made known by Serie A itself, which issued a statement on its official website: «It is announced that the match Atalanta-Fiorentina, valid for the 29th day of the Serie A TIM Championship and not played on March 17, 2024, will be recovered on Sunday, June 2, 2024, at 18:00».
Why it was postponed
Atalanta-Fiorentina, valid for the twenty-ninth day of the championship, was postponed on March 17 due to the illness of Joe Barone, who later passed away due to a cardiac arrest. For weeks, the recovery of the match had become a hot topic, especially for the teams in the top areas of Serie A that are competing for the Champions League. Atalanta, in fact, is currently fifth alongside Roma with a haul of 60 points, but this match to be recovered allows Scamacca and his teammates, as well as Fiorentina, to have one last chance to gain three more points.
The controversies
In recent days, there have been controversies precisely about Atalanta-Fiorentina, with Daniele De Rossi criticizing the situation at the end of Roma-Juventus. Speaking to Dazn, the Roma coach stated that «recovering the match at the end of the championship distorts the normal progress of Serie A». These words were followed by those of Gasperini who targeted the Giallorossi: «The match was not postponed because of a yellow code». The reference is to the illness of Evan Ndicka, who during the match with Udinese suffered an illness and fell to the ground. The defender was then carried off the field on a stretcher and taken to the hospital where he underwent tests that ruled out cardiac problems. The cause of the illness was one of the blows received to the chest that caused a left pneumothorax.
