For his three-man defence, the chosen one is Alessandro Buongiorno, Torino’s centre-back. No contact between the two clubs yet, Cairo has confirmed that he does not want to give up his designated captain but the class of ’99 wouldn’t mind wearing the blue of Napoli after that of the national team at the German European Championships.
