The president of Napoli Aurelio De Laurentiis he spoke at last season’s Gazzetta Awards with Italian champions Napoli. A praise to the city but also to the coach, Luciano Spalletti, who brought the Tricolore back to Naples 33 years later: “Spalletti managed to shape a working group like few others and then above all because at the end of the first year we took away six fundamental players and replaced them with others – he says – So there could have been some doubt that some fans would come to blame me, because I had sent these six favorites home. But in reality in football we make a serious mistake, which is of psychological evaluation, because there are players like our captain (Di Lorenzo, ndr) who embrace the idea of Naples, which is not just a football idea, but one of the city and of Neapolitanism. Spalletti was able to combine new characters and make them perform at their best this is a city that has waited 33 years and would like to win the Scudetto every year, but in my opinion this is a city that has won the scudetto of being Neapolitan for centuries. Only the French clouded us a bit in the 19th century, then the North with Cavour knocked us out, but now this is a city that is recovering.”
Spalletti: “When a city like Naples supports you, it’s easy to win”
And obviously the creator of the Scudetto, Luciano, also spoke on stage Spalletticurrent coach of the national team: “In Naples it is very easy to win, when you have the support of a city like Naples everything becomes easy. This victory made the city explode with joy – he explains – When I go around Naples and they recognize me, I’m the one who wants to hug them.”
Di Lorenzo: “Winning in Naples was a unique emotion”
Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo also had his say on the matter: “Winning the Scudetto in Naples and making these people happy is nice – he explains – It was everyone’s victoryfrom the club, from the president, from the coach who managed to make us champions, from all the players and from all the people who work in Napoli, It was a unique emotion and one that I will carry in my heart forever.”
