Councilor Simeone: “Hands off Naples and Maradona”
“Regardless of what the many new “experts” of international football stadiums say, the Maradona today presents itself in acceptable conditions! I invite these gentlemen to take a tour of the other Italian and European stadiums, including the facilities in Turkey, before expressing hasty and unjust judgments”.

They shouldn't invent lies and UEFA regulations regarding the athletics track, because otherwise even the Stadio Olimpico in Rome would be called into question. But that would be absurd. We certainly still have to do important maintenance and redevelopment work on the underground structure of the Maradona, especially in the gym area, in the parking lot, on the roof and we have to reopen that blessed third ring... To do all this we need funds, as will Milan, Rome, Turin, Bologna, Florence and Canicattì!”.
