All in three days. Because the future does not ignore the present, the matches against Bologna, Fiorentina and Lecce: It’s all about Europe. What remains. Consolation. Suspended between the most probable hypotheses and a series of uncontrollable unknowns: if it is true that the fate of the Italians in the Europa League and in the Conference could determine a maxi-grid of miracles for next season, it is equally true that the Naples he must start winning again immediately, from Saturday, to direct the destiny and therefore the construction of the team. There’s no point in going around it. Appeal does not only come through economic poweractually: at certain levels in football it makes a lot of difference play the Champions League. A missed objective for the Azzurri, which will inevitably also constitute a handicap on the market: the best want to live and breathe the air of the Champions League, of the great cup nights, but Napoli at this stage, given how they are playing and the results that he is collecting, can probably aspire to the Conference. We will see, as long as there is arithmetic hope of entering Europa League it would be appropriate to insist and limit errors on the pitch, but that’s how it is.
Talented Naples
The work of the new manager in pectore of the sports area, Giovanni Manna, it won’t be easy at all: the club is solid, thriving, definitely capable of investing and making choices even without the Champions League revenues, but the mission will be to be able to convince the objectives with the project. Which basically, although not yet officially started with the coach’s choice, it sounds very intriguing. Ambitious. Of level. The Napoli squad, the team, is still full of talent: from Kvara to Lobotka, Anguissa, Di Lorenzo, Politano and Raspadori just to name a few. And if in the end Osimhen goes elsewhere, as anticipated by De Laurentiis in January, the proceeds would be monstrous: he has a 130 million clause and even without activating it it is difficult – if not impossible – for Adl to be satisfied with a much lower figure. In short, the 100 million ceiling will have been breached, indeed, and it will be pure oxygen to add and breathe to find a valid alternative.
