🎙I was reading comments on Napoli's page, and this particular response from a Napolitan to an angry comment from a Nigerian caught my attention.
A comment from a Napoli fan on their official page.
Marcello Cenere:
The center forward of our third Scudetto. But also a spoiled kid, ready to spring like a spring onto the pitch at the first provocation, to argue with his teammates and coach.
The center forward of our third Scudetto. But also an impetuous footballer, who does not always know how to govern the extraordinary qualities that Mother Nature has given him, and for this reason is subject to traumas and injuries (even serious ones).
The center forward of our third Scudetto. But also a difficult character to keep in check off the pitch, from trips to Africa with the consequences we know about to evenings out in the clubs, from photos in blue deleted from social media to reckless reactions to the (intrusive) affection of the fans. And then Calenda, and then December 2023. And that renewal that filled your pockets with money and your agent's mouth with nice words. "African Ballon d'Or, respect is needed.
He still has a lot to win in Europe." So much to win, that in 8 months you were unable to bring any offer to Aurelio's table that was even remotely close to the 130 million clause. And you signed that clause. You accepted it, along with the 10 million per year. You thought, together with your agent, that you could put the president with his back against the wall, in the final hours of the transfer window.
Try again: you'll be luckier. You are left with Saudi Arabia, which is not Europe. You're left with the grandstand, in Conte's Napoli. You still have the chance to continue to grow, as a man more than as a footballer, and learn (you do) to show respect to a people who loved you, to a square that has forgiven you so much, to a club that believed in you, to a team that taught you to play football. Goodbye Victor,
