Luciano Spalletti warned the Napoli ultras to support the team in the return leg against Milan after they went on a strike to protest in the recent Serie A clash against the Rossoneri. President Aurelio De Laurentiis has been trying to come to an understanding with the hardcore fans, with whom he has been feuding for a long time, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
The supporters filed a request to resume bringing banners, drums, flags, and bullhorns into the stadium. They haven’t been able to do that as of late. It should be accepted this time. The chairman, who’d like to avoid a direct negotiation, wants them to abide by the laws and rules but still be loud. Things seem to be moving in the right direction, at least for the game in question.
The Napoli owner is also planning the Scudetto celebrations ahead of time. He recently met with the Ministry of the Interior Mateo Piantedosi, the mayor Gaetano Manfredi, the prefect, and the police commissioner. They will try to wrangle the massive event. The first one will be spontaneous when they clinch the title. They need four more wins.
The second and more organized will go down at the end of the season on June 4th. The parade will begin at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and continue in the other squares, culminating at Piazza del Plebiscito. The authorities wish to avoid huge traffic jams, disorders, and violence.
In the meantime, Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti is preparing Saturday’s game against Hellas Verona. He’ll likely rotate his squad a lot. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, and Stanislav Lobotka could use a breather. Victor Osimhen is ramping up and might be an option.
