Aurelio De Laurentiis spoke on the microphones of KissKiss Napoli, the official radio. And obviously the barrels were not missed. Starting from the alleged interest in Icardi and the negotiations to bring James Rodriguez to Naples.
THE MEETING WITH WANDA - "It is a colossal, huge stupidity - said De Laurentiis -. I met Wanda Nara three years ago and I have no intention of meeting her again. That meeting was enough for me. Also because Icardi does not fit into the current needs of Naples. When I asked, it was another historical moment. It was the year that Milik was injured and we wanted to find his replacement, but Sarri was good at making our goblin Mertens one able to overcome thirty goals. "
THE KNOT JAMES RODRIGUEZ - That for James is a hot negotiation, but not yet defined. "It is in our hearts, especially in the hearts of those who trained it better than anyone else, Ancelotti - specified the president of Naples -. James's problem is that we have to deal with Real Madrid. We are tough, we do not want to give in to the unjust requests of Florentino Perez. We are not in a hurry because our team is already very strong. We need to make only blows, nothing in particular. The blows are done in two, between those who want to buy and those who want to sell. We want to buy, but we don't want to make mistakes. "
THE GROWTH OF NAPOLI — De Laurentiis also focused on the evolution of Naples. "The club - he specified - has always had an international level. Apart from that period between the farewell of Maradona and our coming. First there was that genius who is Maradona, then we arrived who since we returned to Serie A we had the Quagliarella, the Cavani, the Lavezzi, the Higuain. Many footballers who show that the internationalization of this club was underway. Napoli unfortunately won little, only two championships. But the times and football have also changed. Napoli lost time in its first 50 years. No one can be blamed today ".
THE SCUDETTO DREAM— The tricolor is a fixed one for the Neapolitans. De Laurentiis is clear: “Every time I meet the fans I would like to satisfy them. They ask me when we win the scudetto? They give me a little bitterness, but they make me so sympathetic. I tell him that the important thing is social belonging to this shirt. You are Neapolitans, you cannot fail to rejoice that in the last 10 years we are the only Italian club to live in Europe. I'm sorry if someone is not satisfied and happy. It would be easy for me to take applause, win the championship or a European cup and fail a moment later. But I don't think this is in the interest of Naples and Campania. Then there are the Neapolitans who are always dissatisfied who are linked to Milan, Inter and Juventus. We go on our way, with all the cazzimma that must never fail. But respecting the rules and the economy of a club that, compared to the economy of the major Italian clubs, does not have one euro less ”.
THE RACIST CHOIRS — Finally, the reference to a problem not yet solved, that of territorial discrimination: "If football in the stadiums is what Governments need to keep everyone good, peaceful and calm, instead of going down to the streets to make revolutions , that's fine. How is it that only in England has the Government succeeded in finding solutions? Have you ever seen racist incidents in an English stadium? If it happens, a bodyguard comes and throws you out ".
