The banner of Sunday at the San Paolo was more than anything else evocative of happy moments. That "Sarri one of us" exhibited in curve B was to remember the anniversary of Koulibaly's 90th goal at the Juventus Stadium, which gave Napoli an illusory victory in the scudetto race last season. While walking, in the double-face match with Atalanta, however, the dispute against the company and the team is mounted and consequently the bad moods involve the coach.

SURVEY - From the start of the season the comparisons between the games of Sarri and that of Ancelotti have been a continuous torment. But then the good results in the Champions League, at least until December, had appeased some speeches that are now back to bomb. Naples and its fans are disappointed and quite divided in the evaluation. On the one hand the Sarrians who claim the fun of the past vintages with the Tuscan technician and the fact that in any case in two seasons out of three the fight for the championship lasted until the end or almost. The supporters of Ancelotti instead point out that the results have improved, because in any case the team will arrive second in the Italian Cup, it went out in the quarterfinals and in the European Cups it went better. Certainly, however, and it is an objective fact: in this season Napoli has slowed down losing motivation too early, although Ancelotti has used turn over as a method to bring the whole rose in good condition for spring.

FUTURE - The Ancelottians are convinced that with the summer market coordinated by Carletto the next Naples will be truly his, and therefore more competitive. But critics accuse him of excessive corporateism, and the skepticism about Aurelio De Laurentiis's investments remains. Another negative fact is irrefutable: the San Paolo emptied of people and passion. Playing in Naples for the opponents is no longer like entering an area of gladiators for the deafening cheer.
