«Osimhen away? Napoli should only invest in a strong striker like him”

«The fans always want more, especially after winning a championship. This year, unfortunately, is not going well. There have been three coaching changes and several players injured, but I hope that this season can end in the best possible way and that we can think about next year to do it again in a big way, because the fans deserve to have a team that is always at the top.” . This is how the great ex commented on Napoli’s season last night Antonio Carecaon the occasion of the third edition of “Football Heroes”, the initiative promoted by Antonio Ruggiero at the council chamber of the Municipality of Agropoli. The Brazilian champion collected the Ussi award “Vincenzo Margiotta”, dedicated to the historic center forward from Agropoli from Salernitana at the time of Grande Torino. «The affection shown to me when I return to Italy is always extraordinary, thanks Agropoli», highlighted Careca after having collected the recognition from the national president of Ussi and editor-in-chief of Rai Gianfranco Coppola and by the Margiotta family.

Without Osimhen

Among the most current issues in Naples there is also the future of Victor Osimhen. Careca said: «I hope he can continue to do well just like he did in Naples. I met him, he is a respectable boy and with Napoli he did very well, scoring many goals and contributing to the victory of the scudetto. I hope that the club, in the event that he actually leaves, can find a new player worthy of Osimhen.” To those who try to play on his value in modern football he replied bluntly: «There is no price, there is no price…». Comparisons are never wasted, even if the eras are different. On one side Ma-Gi-Ca, on the other Napoli who won the scudetto after 33 years. «But it’s difficult to make comparisons. A comparison can never be made with Maradona. Everything was different when I played. There was Diego, a genius, the strongest of all, there is no story. And then there was Giordano, there were many good players who made a big difference. But when I played it was better”, he underlined.

Next to Careca the former masseur Salvatore Carmando, a life in the locker room of Napoli, of the Italian and Argentine national teams: «If Diego hadn’t been there, Careca would have been the best in the world. When he was well, he really made us have a lot of fun.” And the Brazilian striker reciprocated: «Carmando was very strong. We had fun on and off the field. He was a phenomenon too. Every now and then I miss this wonderful period.” Doing the honors, together with the mayor Roberto Mutalipassithe promoter of the initiative, Antonio Ruggiero: «It’s nice to be able to share these moments with the great football champions, including Careca, who delighted us with his memories».

Careca’s visit to Cilento then continued in the evening Asceawhere he took part in an initiative organized by the Napoli Velia Azzurra Club, while in Agropoli today it will be the turn of Stefano Tacconithe former Juventus and national team goalkeeper who is recovering from the cerebral hemorrhage that struck him two years ago, receive the Ussi “Sport and Values” award as part of the “Heroes of football” event.
