Reaction from Napoli head coach Gennaro Gattuso, his defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Torino head coach Moreno Longo after 'Gli Azzurri' (The Blues) beat 'Il Toro' (The Bull) 2-1 on Saturday.

Gattuso criticised the decision to postpone Serie A matches in an attempt to contain the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

Four matches were taken off the schedule last week, with five more added over this weekend, including Juventus against Inter Milan.

The fixtures were originally due to be played behind closed doors, but the decision to call them off was taken on Saturday by the league as part of "urgent measures for the containment and management" of the COVID-19 virus.

However, with the outbreak at its worst in northern Italy, Lazio were permitted to play their match against Bologna in Rome and won 2-0 with their fans in attendance.

Lazio moved two points ahead of idle Juventus and eight ahead of Inter, who also had a game postponed last weekend.
