“Holy Father, now that you are moving in the high spheres, can you let me know when the Napoli will win it title?”.
“In 54 years.” This dialogue between Jude Law e Silvio Orlando, taken from the TV series 'The New Pope', the fans of the Napoli they remember it well. The director of that series ironically brought it up again today on Instagram, Paolo Sorrentino, commenting “the discussion regarding a possible change of coach of the Napoli" and ironically underlining that the wait for a new championship is once again long after the joy experienced last spring.The scene ended with Orlando waking up from the nightmare screaming in bed: “I don’t have another 54 years to live. I don’t have them!” A phrase that the Oscar winner makes his own, interpreting the desires of a generation and a city that would like to get used to victory and does not accept the difficulties of this start of the championship.
Sorrentino seems to embrace the requests of that part of the city that hopes for a change of coach to find a strong Napoli, the one that Sorrentino has watched from the sidelines in some matches since last season. Among those waiting for the choices of the president of Napoli on the future of the coach of Rudi Garcia the writer too Maurizio de Giovanni who posted a thought on Facebook: “Hi, I'm Maurizio and I haven't looked at any sites about Napoli for twenty-two minutes.” An ironic phrase – that of the author of Inspector Ricciardi – to make us understand the inner difficulty that the long wait for a turning point causes in everyone.
