Napoli: Stadium talks to proceed without De Laurentiis in Manchester | OneFootball

Republic - Napoli, De Laurentiis will be in Manchester: the summit for the stadium will be held without the patron! The situation…

The Champions nights are back. The last one was on March 12, 2024: defeat against Barcelona (3-1) and Napoli's elimination in the round of 16, which then even missed qualification for a European competition. Water under the bridge. Thursday there is a new chapter to write that has the strong flavor of nostalgia. Because the champions of Italy will play again at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City. On September 14, 2011, in the first Champions under the management of De Laurentiis, it ended 1-1. Different story, the current one tells of a Napoli with the tricolor on their chest and the desire to surprise even in Europe. The appointment is important and the presence of the president, who will follow his Napoli in England, is confirmed. He will be at the Etihad and not at the services conference of the Zes on the stadium project in Poggioreale, scheduled for the same day of the match: for the azure club, lawyer Arturo Testa will be present. Mayor Gaetano Manfredi will not be there either. The summary is one: another interlocutory meeting. Priority to the challenge of the Etihad Stadium. About 2700 supporters will be able to enjoy the live show in the guest sector. Napoli published yesterday the instructions for the many who have decided to follow the Azzurri in Manchester. It goes from the meeting point before reaching the stadium (Shambles Square, in the city center), to the strict rules for accessing the facility. The prohibitions are the usual ones (no to drugs, long umbrellas and of course fireworks or rockets) but not only.  The color difference will not be so evident: between the light blue City and the azure Napoli it's a matter of nuances, but the fans of Conte's orchestra want to make themselves heard at the Etihad. Napoli is back in the Champions. Some nights are unforgettable. Thursday will be one of these.
