Losing the playoffs by a hair’s breadth was not easy to digest. And the bitterness is linked above all to the expectations which had incredibly risen after the extraordinary start of the season and the triumph in that season. Turin.
But rationally the path of the Neapolitans is to be considered excellent, with the start of the season objective achieved well in advance, a perennial sell-out with 4 thousand average attendances and a trophy that is proudly displayed on the showcase. Trophy that will also be consecrated by a book coming out this month, “A cup all of a sudden”. Tomorrow the season ends with the derby against Scafati e Igor Milicic on the eve he says: «This is the last race of the season. I want to finish with my head held high, and that’s what I will ask of my players. We know that this match is a derby and the team with the most desire, the most heart and the most soul will win. All this might seem simple but we know full well that it will be a complicated race. I am ready to face this last ‘fight’, despite being aware that the match has no impact on the rankings.”
Givova’s sporting director Nicola Egidio for his part he comments thus: «We are about to play the last day of a season which has seen us achieve a historic result, since for the first time in the history of the club, Scafati will take part in the championship of A, but with the awareness that we could have done something more.
A somewhat unique derby as it doesn’t offer anything at stake for the ranking, but that doesn’t mean we’re deprived of motivation and stimulation. On the contrary, our desire is to make up for last Sunday’s bad performance, giving one last joy to the fans in what is still a race with particular emotional contours and trying to improve last year’s record. Napoli also didn’t have a good end to the season. They are coming off 10 defeats in the last 12 games, but they remain a team with high technical content, with several players capable of scoring and putting points on the scoreboard. They will undoubtedly want to finish well in front of their fans, we will have to be good at approaching the match well, making it clear straight away that we are mentally connected.”
