Ciro Ferrara is projected at the big match on Sunday at Maradona between Naples and Rome. The former Italian defender gave an interview to the microphones of the Gazzetta dello Sport to analyze the challenge that he will face Antonio Conte and Claudio Ranieri on the bench, starting with the choice of the Giallorossi club to focus on the former Cagliari and Leicester coach: ” For the fans, Claudio is one of the people.

The season is long, I know how much Antonio is worth – who I know well – but, to begin with, already regaining the Champions League League would be a success. And in any case we’ll see, Napoli, who have always been there in Europe, was a low blow.”
It has tasty anecdotes that can be revealed.
“On the eve of Napoli-Milan, in ’92, a match that we would have lost 5-1.

Which, given the size , it almost meant walking around in the field.
