Napoli lifted the Italian Super Cup and transformed Riyadh into an Azzurri celebration that already looks to the future. After the 2-0 victory over Bologna, president Aurelio De Laurentiis celebrated the victory with words that were both proud and challenging.
"Proud of this group that has made history again. Forza Napoli Sempre!", wrote the owner on X, emphasizing the value of a trophy that reinforces the club's winning streak. Then, speaking to Sport Mediaset, the president delved into technical details and delivered clear messages. "I never had any doubts about Conte. We lost 2-0 in Bologna, here we drew the score. With the difference that this is a cup. We look forward to seeing them in Naples for the match of truth," said De Laurentiis.
The Azzurri leader also addressed the fans, recalling a season marked by difficulties and significant successes. "Last year we only had the league and the Italian Cup, but still had a lot of injuries. This year, the same thing happened, despite having signed new players. Through our misfortune, we discovered the value of some new players, and this fills us with joy," he emphasized.
The Super Cup success also has historic significance. "Not since the Maradona era have we won two trophies in the same year. Let's keep going like this and we'll continue to have fun. I tell the fans to keep dreaming," adds the president, who praises the decisions made over time. "The team was already strong two or three years ago. Coaches must be good at finding the right balance to get the players to perform at their best. Conte did well. I don't think I've made many mistakes in my life, both in film and in football."
Naples Mayor Gaetano Manfredi also joined the celebration, emphasizing the connection between the sporting triumph and civic pride. "What a great Napoli, and what a satisfaction for the fans and the entire city. Congratulations to the team, to Coach Conte, and to the Napoli Football Club for this deservedly won Italian Super Cup after last year's extraordinary Scudetto," wrote the mayor.
