Ā Napoli need to turn up for second leg. Very poor in Milan. You can just see one of Milan teams boring and cheating their way to winning it

My lad is trying to find a way to get over there at some point in the futureā¦ The stadium is one of those which makes the hairs stand up on the back of the neck even when empty - just like Lambeau Field and Burnden Park. I hope your lad makes it. Incredible atmosphere. One of my 'hot spells' over there (i.e. where I could attend more than one game) was during big hostilities they had with Hellas Verona. "Veronese, figli di puttana" song still comes to mind from time to time. I seem to recall that it was based on the 'cholera' chants directed at Napoli fans after one of the many fatal outbreaks. Verona fans overstepped the mark as far as the Neapolitans were concerned. Didn't get to a match against them but each of the ones I attended featured that song being sung over and over again. Just the same at Malaga re Sevilla (sorry, puta SevillaĀ Ā ) by the way. Napoli fans are, in general, mad. They are like this in their daily lives so no surprise that it is the same (or a few notches higher) at games. A frenetic, sometimes lunatic but addictive place. Passion. They wrote the book. "See Naples and die" and all that. Just fyi, the hot spell in question featured a star striker they had signed called Beppe Savoldi. They were looking at a second cousin of the missus to be one of the wingers to feed Savoldi. Never came to anything and the distant relative ended up bumming around Campania at lesser clubs like Avellino, Caserta and Battipaglia. I only mention this as his surname was Capone! No relative of the more famous one to my knowledge!

You can just see one of Milan teams boring and cheating their way to winning it Did you watch the whole game mate? Napoli pummeled them for most of the first half. Kvaradona should have opened the scoring in the first few minutes. Surprised that Lobotka didn't bring down the Milan player who prompted the goal with a quick break from close to his own penalty area. Suspect that the coach would have given him a right rocket for that mistake. They missed their talisman. He should be back next week and you will see the real Napoli I suspect. The whole place, not just the football club, runs on belief in a great leader. Maradona, Pietro Savastano, you name it. Victor back will be a massive boost. As you say, Milan (in particular) very hard to break down as proved when they shut out Harry Kane. If however Napoli get one - hopefully early - I fancy them to dispose of Milan. If they do, looks like Inter next.

He has the gall to talk to me for years about cricket and then has this disdain for great football. Carry on as heās a lot to learn. FWIW he loves Bundesliga as well.
