No second thoughts. From Los Angeles, before embarking on the flight that brought him back to Italy, Aurelio De Laurentiis gave the ok to his collaborators to proceed with sending the registered letters for the activation of the Arbitration Board and to start the proceedings with the request for compensation that will reach up to 25 percent of the gross monthly salary (on purpose, that of October has not yet been paid) and for Allan alone the request will be 50 percent (about 200 thousand euros). The sum that will be subtracted from the payroll of the players is around 2.5 million euros. The Brazilian median, therefore, will pay more than any other for the offenses against Edo De Laurentiis, the vice president, immediately after the game with Salzburg when the manager tried to convince the players to respect the order of the father he wanted the team in withdrawal. To his complaints, Allan had responded in a piqued way to the point that the parties had even touched on the physical confrontation. An attitude that the president has not endured along with the disobedience of all the other players and the opposition expressed by Carlo Ancelotti on the question of withdrawal.

TOTAL BREAKDOWN - Napoli strategy will be divided into two phases. The first one will concern the arbitration request with a fine request for violation of the collective agreement. The second, instead, foresees a legal action that will be started for just cause for everything concerning the question of image rights and the damage suffered by the club with the act of insubordination that had stained the Champions League night. In short, De Laurentiis did not want to accept any kind of confrontation or dialogue. And it has not seemed, so far, that the players have ever regretted that decision that came close to the grotesque and which threw the whole Neapolitan environment into despair. The consequences of those moments of madness are all in the current ranking which reminds the protagonists of this sad story that Napoli is out of the Champions League zone.
