Napoli is preparing for the championship match with Roma, but in the meantime the reason for the team’s lack of presence at Maradona has been revealed.
A season to forget, this is the only way to summarize the year Naples post scudetto. After winning the tricolor just 11 months ago, the conditions were completely different, with the same president De Laurentiis intent on communicating intentions of victory, even aiming for Champions League. And instead, although this year Italy will bring at least 5 teams to the top European competition, Napoli – in all likelihood – will not be able to qualify. All due to completely wrong choices both in terms of identifying the new coach (then changed three times) and for some decisions in the transfer market that appeared risky right from the start. Above all that of replacing a defense totem like Kim with a still very inexperienced young man like Natan.
Yet, despite the disastrous year, what Napoli has never lacked was the support of the public. Whether it was away or at home, the Azzurri have always had a huge number of fans following them. Demonstrating how the passion of Neapolitan supporters goes far beyond the team’s results. A rampant love, sometimes to the point of making the club and the police authorities inclined to let the team move with total caution.
No Napoli team photo at Maradona, decision taken for public order
It can be explained in this way about face arrived yesterday, about the presence of Napoli at the Maradona stadium. In fact, in the early afternoon yesterday, the news circulated that the entire Neapolitan team would meet at the Maradona stadium. Shortly afterwards, however, there was a denial. Today’s edition of Republic underlines what it was motivation which led to this decision. Here is what is highlighted:
The team today she should have met at Maradona for the official photothen the news leaked and for reasons of public order there was a counter-order: we stay in Castel Volturno.
Therefore a decision taken for public order, with the team photo at Maradona which at this point will be postponed. Meanwhile, the group led by mister Francesco Calzona prepares as best as possible for the challenge against Rome next Sunday, having practically the entire group available, except Olivera, who however seems close to returning. Once again, of course, the audience of Naples will support the blue team: yet another sold out of the year is expected at Maradona, with at least 50 thousand fans expected in Fuorigrotta.
