President Aurelio DeLaurentiis spoke to the media present at the CPO Giulio Onesti, during the Golden Collars, expressing his vision on the present and future of Italian football. According to DeLaurentiis, the world of football has changed radically compared to Maradona's time: life is getting longer, seniority is growing, fans are becoming increasingly long-lived, but at the same time passionate young people are emerging ready to push for change. “Football is political and politics slows down because it wants to maintain its positions,” he said, underlining that transformations are inevitable and that those who do not want to change risk leaving their place.
The president then commented on the figure of Malagò, stating that "it would be a disastrous step backwards" and asking who would replace him, highlighting the importance of an entrepreneurial approach to the sports sector. He reiterated that Napoli is in a phase of consolidation, with coach Allegri having demonstrated his ability to manage the team, going from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3, obtaining positive results. DeLaurentiis expressed confidence in the players and in the future of the club, recalling that Napoli has already shown that it can compete in Europe, although it suffered a defeat against Real Madrid.
Finally, the president asked not to create "chaos with the K" and to continue to get people talking, highlighting the need to keep communication with the fans alive. With these words, DeLaurentiis closes his speech, inviting us to look forward and support Napoli in its evolution.
