I have it with … De Laurentiis, ‘why always you?’. From Milik’s mess to De Luca and Covid’s slips | First page

The eternal will to be the protagonist, always and in any case. Aurelio de Laurentiis does not contradict himself and in a few days he has already given several ideas, covering all possible fronts. From soccer to politics, also passing the personal story of the positivity of the coronavirus. A busy summer for the president of Napoli, who personally took to the field also on the television rights front and the transformation of the League into a media company and for the reopening of the stadiums. But, as is often the case, when the desire to be center stage is too strong, it can happen that you run into some exaggeration.

PASTICCIO PROPERTY – The responsibility for a deal that has been broken to date cannot be considered exclusively yours, but there is no doubt that in the market the telenovela starring Belong to there is the De Laurentiis footprint. That you have not discounted a player with whom relationships have been cold for several months, as he and his entourage decided not to consider any contract renewal proposals. The absolute inflexibility shown in the fine for last season’s riot and on the monthly salaries withheld by the Covid emergency, he faced a player equally determined to assert his reasons. Blurring 26 million euros that, a year after the deadline, would have been so convenient for Napoli’s coffers and that feed the risk of losing Milik at no cost. Not to mention the intransigence line on Koulibaly, who cannot leave without an offer of at least $ 70 million but whose dismissal would also be necessary to unlock the last incoming negotiations.

DA DE LUCA TO COVID – If the market choices and the club’s management strategies will be fairer and more normal, comment on them after the negotiations are concluded, The behavior of De Laurentiis’ character in recent weeks has left much to be desired. on various fronts. The use of Naples to promote the race to reconfirm De Luca as Governor of Campania in the minds of the voters it is quite an incredible blunder, as well as a demonstration of lack of civic sense, considering that a basic principle such as a level playing field has been violated. Then there is the story, which we limit ourselves to defining as grotesque, of the The infamous participation in the last assembly of the Lega despite the fact that the blue president had already shown signs of physical discomfort. We do not dare define them as symptoms of Covid, because we were neither in Capri – where De Laurentiis was before leaving for Milan – nor traveling with him. But it is curious that the result of the hyssop, which was later positive, arrived a few hours after the end of the summit in the presence of the others. Presidents and directors of Serie A. Whose health was seriously compromised by De Laurentiis’ little responsible conduct. The protagonist always and in any case, but not necessarily something to brag about.
