According to the supporters, the Frenchman celebrated the game-winning goal too much and right in Hirving Lozano’s face. Moreover, in their mind, he dived on the foul that led to Frank Anguissa’s second yellow card. Rafael Leao came to his teammates’ defense on Twitter after a series of ugly insults.
Infelizmente as redes sociais são um instrumento onde toda gente pensa que pode dizer o que quiser .. triste são essas pessoas que aproveitam o facto disso para tentar mexer com o nosso psicológico . No passa nada irmão Deus é com a tua família sempre ??@TheoHernandez ❤️?

The Napoli fans were on strike in the recent Serie A tilt with the Rossoneri to protest. However, they will make their presence felt Tuesday night, Corriere dello Sport relays. De Laurentiis interceded in their negotiation with the authorities, and they rubber-stamped the newfound peace with a picture. As Luciano Spalletti intimated, everybody will row in the same direction to try staging a comeback after a one-nil loss in the first leg.
The Ultras confirmed their intentions with a statement.
“Together until victory. The dialogue between us and the president was serene, clear, and productive. He recognized the importance of our sacrifices, passion, and love for the team, and our contribution to the results, while we acknowledged that his management finally brought Napoli to the football elite. Now everybody will do their part in their respective roles.”
