Napoli-Milan, Maradona fans after Spalletti’s appeal: what will happen

Anger at refereeing, Luciano Spalletti’s strong words, the day after the narrow defeat against Milan in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Naples was crossed by mixed sensations, because the result didn’t go down well. There are those who react with irony (“I ask the Neapolitans in Milan to be circumspect because if you meet them Kovacs warns them”) and Diego Maradona jr receives many views on his comments: “Arbitrage to say the least shameful. Kim ridiculously cautioned because he was warned. And Anguissa was expelled when in the action of the first yellow card there was first a clear foul on Kvaratskhelia not whistled”. But Diego jr remains confident: “We are much stronger. Next week, however, we will materialize”.

SHOCK SHOULDERS

The words spoken in the press room, after the match, by Luciano Spalletti also make us think. Evidently he too has been harboring something for ten days after what happened in the stands during the Napoli-Milan championship: “I don’t know what climate to expect on my return, and you can’t imagine how sorry I was to see our stadium in that way. We are winning the championship after 33 years of waiting, we were playing an important game and seeing that ‘all against all’ is something I will never be able to understand and that I will always carry with me. If the same thing happens on my return, I’ll leave the bench and go home. Because it’s something inexplicable.” The majority of the fans, the one who booed the ultras ten days ago, are with the coach. But how will the organized groups behave on Tuesday? We will see a first sign on Saturday in the match against Verona, to understand if a dreamed and not unattainable semi-final of the Champions League can also be propelled by the compact help of supporters.
