Roma – Di Lorenzo towards confirmation! Giuffredi brings him a message from Conte in Germany

In Germany to bring to Giovanni Di Lorenzo the message of Antonio Conte. The Napoli captain’s agent, Mario Giuffredi, conveyed to the person concerned his indispensability for the new coach. A signal that the Italian had already received, publicly praising Conte. A first piece for “peace” and healing the fracture that arose during the season. The field, however, has little or nothing to do with it.

What Di Lorenzo expects is a signal from the club, some of which has already arrived. Director Manna would have clarified with him the concept of “transferability” expressed in their first meeting at Castel Volturno. Words that disappointed the footballer, but it was a misunderstanding. President De Laurentiis has been saying for years (precisely four) that no one is untransferable anymore, including Di Lorenzo. And no one has ever complained.

This time, the concept expressed in the “ready to go” with the new sporting director would have had a different flavor. But in fact, it was just a misunderstanding. Lorenzo is not being touched, as Napoli clearly wrote in a statement. And there are no problems with his agent either. It’s obvious that Giuffredi does his job, and also from this point of view there is mutual respect.

Relations have always been good and will continue to be so. Almost all the pieces are in place: Di Lorenzo’s discomfort, his disappointment, arises from the management of the disastrous year. As captain, he felt he had done his best, that he had behaved in the best way possible. After Empoli, according to what he whispers, something went wrong. Some internal criticism undermined the captain’s serenity. Then the rumors about the future began, which exploded right at the end of the championship.

The most controversial episode: that of the substitution against Lecce, with the captain “given to the table” to Maradona’s whistles. Di Lorenzo didn’t expect it. Even in this case it is a misunderstanding, Calzona did it on his initiative and there was no direction behind it. Giuffredi knows it well, now Di Lorenzo knows it too.

Luckily, Antonio Conte arrived to act as mediator: the new coach didn’t expect to find this problem, but he practically almost solved it. No one in Napoli is afraid to reiterate that Di Lorenzo must stay. The future role on the pitch will not be a problem: the captain has always made himself available, and it will be the same tomorrow.

The real annoyance, and in this case there is little that can be done, are certain rumors, born and raised on social media. Unpleasant, unsubstantiated gossip about the player’s private life, unfounded. “Inciuci” which unfortunately many like, but which in addition to being false have nothing to do with the player’s future at Napoli. But even these stupid rumors will be put behind us. Di Lorenzo and his team are ready to restart together.
