Gennaro Gattuso, the most talked about man in Napoli, who in the last 2 matchdays has won 6 points against Bologna and Milan.
A few weeks ago he was criticized by everyone for his statements and the continuous excuses referring to the squad decimated by injuries and the games every 3 days. After only 14 days, however, in which the Neapolitans have recovered key players (see Demme, Mertens and Osimhen) and play once a week, the results are arriving also thanks to excellent performances. Behind the statements released by the Calabrian coach during these months are hidden 2 truths: that Napoli has a large squad, but with players not up to par and that Ringhio is an excellent coach, but still a novice.

Now, however, that the Azzurri will finally be able to play every 7 days and will soon also recover Lozano and Petagna, the coach has a huge responsibility, that is to demonstrate to all of Italy that the Napoli (even with some technical limitations) deserves to be among the top 4. Now for Gennaro Gattuso it is time for revenge, to show his value as a coach and that the words said in recent months were true, that is, that this Napoli, with the conditions listed first, will be able to qualify for the next Champions League. In the meantime, the press silence continues precisely because the former number 8 of the Rossoneri likes to work like this, without making noise and letting the pitch do the talking. For the Neapolitans, the time of taking low blows seems to be over and the real test will be on Sunday at the Olimpico against Roma.

Enthusiasm, ambition, and a desire to immediately serve the team. Alisson Santos, 23, a Brazilian striker who joined Napoli in the winter transfer window from Sporting Lisbon, introduced himself to the Azzurri fans with words that blended emotion and determination. "I'm very happy to be here; it's a dream for me. Napoli is a great club, and I hope to help them achieve our goals," he explained, speaking of his new adventure.
His debut is already behind him, having played half an hour in the Coppa Italia against Como and been responsible for one of the final penalties, despite elimination. "I'm happy with my debut but obviously sad about the result, because I wanted to advance with the team. But now it's time to work and look ahead," he said, immediately demonstrating his mentality and sense of team spirit. It wasn't even his first time at the Maradona: "Tuesday was my second time here; I'd already played in this stadium with Sporting in the Champions League. But playing for Napoli is an incredible feeling, feeling the passion of the Neapolitan fans."
