Napoli, Ancora: No one kicked me out, not blaming Lukaku | OneFootball

On Stile TV, during the broadcast "Salite sulla giostra" by Raffaele Auriemma, Tiberio Ancora, former personal trainer of Napoli, spoke: "I need to clarify something because these social media platforms are becoming unbearable. They've called me a coward, presumptuous, arrogant, they've said I've bitten the hand that fed me! They've said everything and more, that I was kicked out, that I don't deserve Napoli. Napoli had presented me with a contract, but due to a personal choice, I had to decline, no one kicked me out, on the contrary, I thank Napoli for giving me the opportunity to continue. Lukaku? I'm not presumptuous, I haven't accused anyone, also because the doctors at Napoli are of the highest level, the athletic trainer is excellent, and I have an exceptional relationship with them, so far be it from me to want to accuse or question the work of my former colleagues. Lukaku's injury could have happened even when I was there, I had a special eye on him because our relationship went beyond just sports. I have said and I reiterate that in my opinion, not yet being at his best, probably the boy, who is generous, gave more than he should have, and I presume, I reiterate presume, he made a mistake in this. But it's just a supposition and I'm sorry if someone misinterpreted my thoughts and I apologize for that. Lukaku was a favored son to me and for this, I paid even more attention to him. I don't understand why they now call me a coward, I hope this intervention can clarify the situation. I feel uncomfortable because I am a decent person, I respect everyone and finding myself in this situation is not something I like, it doesn't belong to me. I'm reading things I don't deserve, I am sensitive and I know I haven't done anything wrong and for this, I am sorry. Today I don't clarify anything, I just reiterate what I've said, always forza Napoli."
