“Napoli has never fallen. It has had some stumbles, as happens in life, but from here to saying that Napoli is no longer the Napoli of the scudetto there is a big difference.
I am of the opinion that the accounts are settled at the end". So to Amazon Prime, the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, before the challenge at the 'Bernabeu' against Real Madrid, penultimate match of the group stage of Champions League.
“Let's look at the European cups and the championship, let's see how the big managers of football who have the great responsibility of sinking it day after day, if they can instead make it more modern and effective, less verbose and long for the very young who can no longer follow a football represented in an outdated and old way”, he added.
“Stadiums come first, they must become places that can be used 24 hours a day, seven days a week, like the Bernabeu - goes on -. If the Juventus player Gaetano (Manfredi, ed.), the first citizen of Napoli, will break free from the bond that grips him at the City Council and will be able to sell me the stadium, I promise to make it the most beautiful in Italy in a year".
“If, on the other hand, the City Councilors hate Naples, then I tell them that we have Vanvitelli's Royal Palace of Caserta and Pompeii: either in Caserta or in Pompeii, because they are strongly tied to Naples. Naples and Campania are one and the same.
The president of the Region (De Luca, ed.) is on my side and is the only one who helped the stadium get back on track,” he added.
