deserves a smile with the Neapolitans”

Lele Adani lands in Naples and is welcomed like a rock star at Comicon. The former player and sports commentator, one of the most loved on the small screen and on the web – among the souls of Bobo TV – receives a standing ovation from the audience of the comics salon after openly declaring his Maradonian faith: «Messi is the best among humans, Diego was the most tangible sign of God on earth.” Always close to Napoli and Naples, on the eve of the Azzurri’s match against Roma he talks about the difficult moment that the team and club are going through, with predictions on the next manager: «I would like Maurizio Sarri’s return with all my heart, it’s like an unfulfilled love which deserves to find a conclusion.”

Today a Napoli in full crisis faces a Roma in very good form.
«Napoli will still give battle. He has to do it because he is still playing with the shield on his chest. As? Breaking away from the incredible chain of negative events that have affected her so far and leveraging what has always been her belief: taking to the field to have a great match. He has the means to win even against a strong and confident Roma, he must leave the frustration at home and concentrate.”

How do you explain a season like this after a championship?
«There are various reading levels. The most apparent one is having given up on a coach and a sporting director who had built a team capable of surprising in Italy and Europe. But it is too much to justify such a strong leap back, despite the will and seriousness of the successive coaches. I would therefore say to divide the responsibilities between the team, the benches and the club.”

The causes?
«A mix of fate, absence of some figures and end of motivations. Probably triggered by bad choices from the start.”

Ideas for the next coach?
«If De Laurentiis builds a project on Conte it is good. I also respect Pioli, but the dream is a Sarri encore. Not even Spalletti scored Sarri’s points, an expression of football never seen before, in the sense of breaking with the past and transmitting emotions. I believe that Napoli and Sarri, who is Neapolitan, deserve to smile together.”

He has never hidden his sympathy for the city and the football centre.
«I feel like a Neapolitan in fact, like Diego was, who was more from Naples than from Buenos Aires».

Still convinced that El Diez was the strongest ever?
“I’ve always said it and I repeat it: there was, or rather there is, something divine in Maradona’s plays.”
