Paolo Berlusconi: «Maradona was my brother Silvio’s forbidden dream, but he defended the club crests»
Anguissa and De Bruyne are back
Kevin De Bruyne and André-Frank Zambo Anguissa have both been added to the squad currently in retreat in Pozzuoli, confirmed as a surprise return against Torino. Morning training resolved any remaining doubts. The focus now shifts to determining how many minutes each player has in their legs, but it’s a clear sign of a slow return to normalcy, even with five regular starters still sidelined.

The Referees
Napoli has experienced a somewhat unlucky season thus far regarding refereeing decisions. This explains the particular interest in the appointment for tomorrow’s Serie A match against Torino, scheduled for March 6th at 8:45 PM at the Maradona Stadium. As announced by AIA, the match will be officiated by Michael Fabbri of the Ravenna section. Bahri and Politi will serve as linesmen, with Perri as the fourth official. VAR control will be entrusted to the duo Maggioni-Mazzoleni.

The Transfer Market
The objective is clear: the team needs to be rejuvenated, as the current roster is the oldest in Serie A.
It will be a busy summer for Giovanni Manna and Napoli as they prepare for the club’s 100th anniversary, with Antonio Conte expected to remain as coach – still having one year left on his contract – and the team looking to overcome a season filled with difficulties.

Beware of these two friend-enemies
It’s best to be wary of friends, whether they be D’Aversa or Simeone. Torino’s coach is incredibly close to Conte, even as Simeone holds Napoli close to his heart after three years and two Scudetti. The Argentinian, who chose this team during Spalletti’s time knowing he would be a reserve, punished the Azzurri in the first leg.

The Interview
Napoli and the national team, which will intersect during the March break, but also and above all the Champions League race. Even at 84, football is a daily matter for Dino Zoff, the former Azzurro who observes Conte’s Napoli from a distance, which “…is performing a miracle” according to the world champion goalkeeper of 1982. A miracle signed by Conte, dictated by the necessary escape routes due to the absences the team has had to endure in this final stretch of the championship.
