In the week of matches of matches for Napoli fans, namely the one against Juventus on Saturday night at the Maradona and after the victory in Bergamo against Atalanta, the double ex, namely the "core 'ngrato" Josè Altafini, speaks.
"Napoli is a team that deserves first place. The people of Napoli are always enthusiastic, in my day we always brought 80 thousand people to the stadium. In my house everyone is a Napoli fan and I have to hide in my room when the other teams play."
The Brazilian, former striker of Napoli, Milan and Juventus, said this as a guest on 'Radio Anch'io Sport' on Rai Radio 1, about Napoli leading the league. For the former champion, Milan “It’s the biggest disappointment, and especially the right-back role with Emerson Royal. Walker is strong, but the only defender who could mark the centre-forwards even at 40 years old was Vierchowod.
“Milan is the big disappointment”
Leao? He is like that, he is inconsistent, sometimes he sprints and does incredible things, other times he walks, it almost seems like he is swinging around the pitch. He should be taken like that”. On Juve and the Vlahovic case: “I would never give up on a strong striker like Vlahovic. He may not play at his best for 89 minutes, but then in one minute he can decide the match. Even Lukaku he was criticized for the same reason, but in the meantime he is a player who works for the team.
“I'm a big fan of Raspadori”
Players like Vlahovic, Lukaku, Leao must never leave the pitch. The best striker in Italy? I like Lukaku, Vlahovic, Leao and Retegui. And I'm a big fan of Raspadori, I'm sorry he's not used much", concludes Altafini.
