In his editorial for the local edition of the newspaper ‘La Repubblica’, the journalist Antonio Corbo he expressed himself thus on the season finale of Naplesa team that did not go beyond a 0-0 draw against Lecce yesterday at Maradona, thus also failing to reach ninth place: “They come out with the Scudetto on their chests and their heads down. The disdain has the voices and whistles of the crowd, its anger, in this stadium still called Diego Armando Maradona in an apotheosis of sacrilege. At 7.52pm not a championship ends but an unbearable penance who knows where, far from the city of triumphs, even the president experiences in the most painful solitude”.
On the choice to focus on Antonio Conte, this is Corbo’s thoughts: “A terrible evening if in the same hours one of his delegations tries to convince Conte, a coach with no other known offers in Italy, to put together what remains of a dream. If the hiring is completed, the figures that can be read are other crowns of thorns for the most attentive administrator in Serie A, with the best balance sheet, he will have to pay triple the amount of Spalletti’s management in order to command much, much less, a very high bill that De Laurentiis seems willing to pay to get out of the corner “.
