Aurelio De Laurentiis is enjoying his Napoli. The owner had warm words for the team, coach Spalletti, and the fans after the 2-1 victory at the "Maradona" stadium against Juventus.

“We had a good start,” the president told Dazn. “I have to thank Spalletti, we dominated the game with a very interesting game, always on the attack.” There were many compliments for the coach after the three victories in three games: “I chose him because he is an orderly, diligent man who manages things firmly. I like him because you can always talk to him: he doesn’t get offended by any clarification you ask him for and he doesn’t have ghosts in his ego, unlike others.”

The Napoli president then wanted to have his say on the situation related to the away match against Leicester in the Europa League, with doubts related to the call-ups of Ospina and Osimhen given the anti-Covid rules in force in the United Kingdom. "I'm happy to play against them, but the problem now is to be accepted by Boris Johnson - the patron commented ironically -. This morning I sent a message to Marchetti to ask for clarity: he told me that UEFA has already forwarded the note to the English government. Let's hope they're convinced by Thursday, it would be absurd to play without a goalkeeper and without a starting striker".
