Naples, Conte meets De Laurentiis, but Juve calls. What can happen

Face to face, on a new night of celebration. Power of randomness, of a fate that sometimes enjoys creating uncomfortable situations and perhaps even a little embarrassing. Aurelio De Laurentiis at the stroke of midnight between Friday and yesterday, he turned 76 and went on stage to collect the gift that Antonio Conte and the team gave to him and all the Neapolitan people after a year of intense work. With the Scudetto in his arms and the happiness carved in the eyes, Aurelio on the field crossed his coach to whom he put the medal of the first classified around. The next embrace, however, seemed very warm. Now, since last night, Aurelio and Antonio find themselves together in Ischia, where the celebrations for the president’s birthday continue. On an island, for two days, the same restaurant and the same hotel. If we are not at the back of the accounts, we are not missing. Here, let’s say that it is the best situation to finally be able to look into the eyes and the cold mind and confront, on what has been, what went well on and what the technician was irritated from February onwards. Because it is a bit of the secret of Pulcinella: the transfer of Kvara without an adequate replaced has crossed the relationship between the two. And it will certainly not be the winer of the Scudetto who passed everything in cavalry.

The call

And then it is likely that the two arrive at tomorrow’s parade with the future already decided. Obviously, nothing will be announced in the short one, but the road seems traced. On Conte there is very strong Juve pressing and the lady’s charm creates devastating effects in the coach’s head. Who was captain and symbol as a footballer, then leader of a new black and white epic in the three-year period 2011-14. Now Juve claims it to return great, to re -establish after the disappointments of the last vintages. Watch, however, because there is always a three -year contract that binds him to Napoli and the past teaches (see Spalletti) who is never advisable to go to the arm wrestling with De Laurentiis. That on Friday evening, on the field, it seemed conciliatory, while yesterday – at Tg1 – he launched some a little more decisive messages. “Conte remains? One must feel good in a certain environment, if he is not well and suffers it he must change the air. This has happened with Spalletti. With Conte there is an extraordinary relationship of mutual respect and great professionalism, so I thank him. Now those who live will see”.

Selfie

Conte in Naples was very well, he fully experienced the city and its thousand faces. He fell in love with beauty, art, culture. And then of the passion of the Neapolitans, much stronger and more intense than it evidently expected. He loaded himself with responsibility, so as not to disappoint anyone. “This was my most difficult feat – he admitted during the celebrations on Friday -: together with the boys we did something sensational. If I stay? The president and I are of the winners, meanwhile we celebrate together …”. Yet that Maradona’s moved lap of the field with the cup in hand had so much the flavor of farewell. It was already nostalgia, as well as infinite joy. The night did not end there, because yesterday Antonio surprised everyone showing his shot in front of a wall with the date of the Scudetto number 3 and the writing “I dreamed of all the nights …”. And he accompanied his selfie with the new date: 23-5-2025. From there began a virtual procession of fans, all with the same request: “Stay”. Of course, to look good inside an extraordinary path, there would also be those words said by Antonio in one of the many conferences of the season. “Once I would like to start from pole position”. Well, then better than Naples should not be placed for next year, at least that there is no emotionally stronger call. A return home, in his Turin. After a championship like this, would Naples feel betrayed?
