Napoli-Bologna 0-2. Yet another horror film projected on the green lawn of the Diego Armando Maradona stadium which almost takes on the nuances of a demonic horror, given that at home this season in Serie A the Azzurri have scored 6 victories, 6 draws and 6 defeats. A statistic that enthuses the symbolists and obscure numerologists, but which has intoxicated the Neapolitan fans who are completely exhausted after a more than unsuccessful year. Out of 18 matches against Maradona in the league, only 6 wins: a disaster.
With Bologna, yet another technical, tactical and athletic disaster seasoned by a now clear lack of desire to play on the part of some players. If on the one hand there are those who burst into tears of anger and disappointment like Lobotkademonstrating at least that we care about the shirt and our dignity as a professional, man and athlete, there are those who like it Anguissa He wanders around the field slowly giving the impression of not having the slightest idea what he’s doing.
If on the pitch the situation has been surreal for months now, in the stands it borders on science fiction. In the hours before the match there had been discussions about the number of spectators who would be at Maradona for the match against Bologna, with rumors linked to a possible desert climate in the stands of the Fuorigotta sports facility. However, these rumors were immediately stopped by the data, which predicted around 40 thousand spectators at the stadium between season tickets and tickets sold.
However, there is often a big difference between the cold numbers and the reality of the factsand so it was yesterday too: the forecasts of 40 thousand spectators clashed with an avalanche of season-ticket fans who preferred to desert the stadium, in many cases also trying to vainly sell their place as season-ticket holders at the stadium on social media to the race in question.
In the end the sight was depressing: almost empty stands, identical and silent curves in the first 15 minutes of the match and furious against the players, De Laurentiis and the club during the rest of the match. Half the stadium began to abandon Maradona in the 70th minute without even the will to express their dissent at the final whistle. The fans also got tired of booing, enough is enough.
And so yesterday, 11 May 2024, only the 4305 Napoli fans who chose to go to the cinema to watch the film I’ll Be With You on Italy’s 3rd Scudetto won.. Maybe some will have also preferred to go to the theaters at the same time as the match, given that currently the only way to see a team wear the Napoli shirt with honor is via a giant screen, a projector and perhaps with popcorn in hand.
Honor therefore to the 4305 (with a collection yesterday alone of 52 thousand euros for the film produced by Filmauro) who yesterday, with a good deal of nostalgia, immersed themselves in the indelible memories of the team of invincibles. At least the 4305 at the cinema won.
