Twenty years of De Laurentiis for the Napleswho today dreams of writing other pages of history with Anthony Conte. The Italian coach spoke about it on the eve of the match against Cagliari, not sparing a few jabs at his past: “I am already part of this history today, even if only for 100 days and it gives me reason to be proud. Having said that, my work here at Napoli has only just begun.
The president and De Laurentiis family have been committed for 20 years, today it is increasingly difficult to commit for such a long time and find an Italian family that commits in this way to a team with such an important location. He deserves great credit for the path he has taken, Napoli was taken when it was in Serie C and was brought to very high levels. Having heard the words of the president, even his emotion in talking about these twenty years, makes you understand how committed his family is to Napoli and the Neapolitans. It was very important, he also spoke of growth off the pitch. I come from English experiences where I know the importance of a sports center, where you can put the first team and the youth sector, make everyone breathe the same air and the same mentality. I think these are important pieces.
Even when I arrived at Inter, for example, Appiano Gentile was a disaster: we worked a lot on the fields, on putting in a guesthouse, now Appiano is a jewel in the crown and I think that a sports center, at the end of the year, can give you a few more points for the final standings. Napoli today is at an important level, with respect to which it is right to continue to grow”.
