Thousands of supporters, responding to the call of organized groups of Neapolitan fans, showed up with banners, flags and chants to support the Azzurri, currently at the top of the table, in view of a crucial challenge.
Shortly before the technician Antonio Conte in the press conference he spoke about the unique warmth of the Napoli fans and their passion that drives the team.
The event, however, was not just an opportunity to show closeness to the team: the ultras groups took advantage of the media attention to protest against the travel ban imposed on Neapolitan fans for tomorrow's match, a measure that has been repeated several times during the season, penalizing especially residents in the province and in Campania.
The provocative flyer of the Ultras
During the rally, the ultras distributed a provocative flyer, depicting a fake “declaration in lieu of a certificate of residence” form, and displayed a banner with the words: “Change of membership, I request a change of residence”.
The event, set on the side of Viale Umberto Maddalena, was animated by the chants “We have a dream in our hearts” and “Napoli returns champion”, which resonated among the approximately 2.000 people present. “Atalanta-Napoli. White and blue people, we want this victory! We look forward to seeing you en masse on Friday 17 at 14:XNUMX p.m. We salute the league leaders”, reads the joint statement signed by Curva A and Curva B.
The atmosphere at Capodichino recalls memorable moments from the past, such as the last great welcome of 2018, when the fans greeted the team before the historic victory against Juventus at the Stadium, decided in the final minutes by Koulibaly. A gesture that once again demonstrates how much the Neapolitan supporters feel this challenge and how ready they are to make Di Lorenzo and his teammates feel all their warmth.
