Iervolino and the ultras' statement: "Words misinterpreted"
The patron of the Granata once again cited the press release from the ultras “South Siberian curve”, making on the statements made to The morning which had caused discussion. For him, however, it is a question of “a big misunderstanding” and a “lack of context and interpretation of the note issued by the fans”.
“First of all, I want to make a premise: we are very happy, proud and we applaud this great Napoli – said Iervolino -. We are working to create a bridge between the two teams, a third half in which we all go and have a drink, we are for the South and for the teams of the South".
“Then, there is another discussion to be had: we still have to save ourselves, we are running in the same category – he adds -. The statement reiterated the dream of a city, that of Salerno, to achieve salvation and Salerno fans asked everyone to celebrate at their own home, but the statement is addressed to the people of Salerno".
“Neapolitan fans free to celebrate, even in Salerno”
"If there is a Neapolitan fan in Salerno, he can absolutely cheer with pride and display what he wants, maybe not at the stadium, in the temple of Salernitana. The press release was perhaps responding to this excess that wanted another team's result to be celebrated in their own temple".
“Politeness and hysteria serve no purpose and it doesn’t seem to me that neighbouring teams that can play a derby like Roma and Lazio or Milan and Inter have such cordial relationships as the fans of Napoli and Salerno.”
“I never tire of clarifying the fact that we are from the South and we are moved by a common culture and the will to do well and make all the teams from the South do well. The statement is the result of generalized misunderstandings, but it is addressed to the fans of Salernitana, not to the Neapolitans who live in Salerno”.
"The statement does not have a threatening or violent tone, I think it is just the passion that moves football. Just as Napoli fans who live in Salerno can display the flag outside their balcony, the Salernitana fan who lives in Naples can display his flag, football is beautiful like this".
"We are proud of Salernitana and our fans, but these controversies always arise during long breaks because we miss football and when we don't play we talk about other things. We have a difficult match against a direct competitor, Napoli must continue their triumphal ride so full steam ahead".
