It had lasted for almost 37 years, now the historic twinning between Napoli and Genoa fans, born in May 1982, has been broken. At least on an ultrà level, because the relations between the other blue and rossoblù groups of the fans, remain more than cordial. With an official statement signed “Ultras Curva A and B” the breaking of the twinning is announced. Here are the reasons for the decision: "The sudden and persistent solidarity - textual - towards a supporter who gave us a vile ambush without even taking charge of asking how the twin boys were involved in the clashes". The reference is to the clashes of Santo Stefano in Milan among ultra-fans, which held an ambush on those Neapolitans and ended in tragedy with the death of Belardinelli.

THE PRESS RELEASE - And again: "We do not share this line of reaching out and embracing enemy groups guilty of having taken the life of our traveling brothers". And there is also a reference to the first leg to Marassi: "We took care to return the same indifference received in the first match at home because we would not have liked to do the gradassi at San Paolo".
