De Laurentiis: Scudetto race open, Napoli need time but in mix | OneFootball

"I've never been afraid of Pisa. Among the anti-Napoli, in addition to the usual three, I would add Atalanta and Roma, which has strengthened."

Napoli, De Laurentiis: "Scudetto? Not just the three from the north! With 9 new signings, it takes time, but Napoli is there."

Aurelio De Laurentiis speaks again about Napoli and the championship, this time from the stage of the Capalbio Film Festival, on the occasion of the Excellence in Film Award. Between football and cinema, the blue president touched on various topics: from the documentary on the fourth Scudetto to the duel with Milan, to the balance of Serie A and the relationship with Pisa.

"Napoli also conquers the box office"

De Laurentiis, a producer as well as president, starts from the success of the docufilm on the 2022/23 tricolor: "There are many Neapolitans in Italy and the passion for football is explosive. Napoli also conquers the box office? I would say so."

"We will not only challenge the three from the north"

On the championship and the Scudetto race, ADL does not limit himself to citing the traditional big ones: "The anti-Napoli are always the usual three from the north, but this year there are also realities like Atalanta and a Roma that has greatly strengthened with Gasperini. It will be an extremely fought and very entertaining championship."

Milan-Napoli: "I always cheer for myself"

On the eve of the super clash at San Siro, De Laurentiis avoids predictions but does not hide his philosophy: "Milan-Napoli? I always cheer for myself, then may the best win."

"With Pisa no fear"

The president also spoke about the challenge with Pisa and the bond with the Tuscan club: "With Pisa, my legs never trembled, never. It is managed by a CEO who comes from cinema and is a great friend of mine. Congratulations to him and to Pisa."

"With 9 purchases it takes time"

"If I could have the same house that I have in Rome in Naples, I would move immediately. Only that in Naples you can't do it because then they come to write everything under the house. I saw what they did to poor Ferlaino, in Naples you can only stay in a hotel", the statement by Aurelio De Laurentiis was commented on by Corrado Ferlaino himself, interviewed today by the newspaper Il Mattino. Here is the excerpt in question:

"There have been negative moments but they were just moments, so very short. The Neapolitans love me and it is a love always reciprocated. De Laurentiis doesn't want to take a house here? Right that he does as he believes. Meanwhile, if I can express an opinion on his management, I say that he is doing really well. And another thing: if I could, if I wasn't still full of work, I would go live in Capri".

Finally, a hint at the work in progress on the new blue squad: "There is always something to fix at the beginning, it applies to all teams. Even more so when there are 9 purchases to be included and assimilated into the game mechanisms".
