Turin-Naples, 11/17/1975: the day when the grenades began a dream tricolor ride

At the Comunale, Vinicio’s leading blue team was beaten 3-1. It was there that Radice’s boys began the ride that led to the Scudetto won on the last day, after a wonderful head-to-head with Juve

All great enterprises are born when one gets to have full awareness of one’s means and, above all, the humility to admit one’s mistakes. At Radice’s Turin, the 1975-76 season, the season that closed with a one-point advantage over Juventus and the Scudetto sewn on his chest, the perception of his own strength and, at the same time, the courage to go beyond his own limits came on an autumn Sunday : November 16, 1975, to be exact. Stadio Comunale in Turin, against Luis Vinicio’s Napoli who were three points above the standings after only five league matches. Too early to talk about a decisive match, God forbid, but calling it a challenge-truth wasn’t wrong. For grenades, in particular.
