Something has happened that could change the game in the Serie A championship. Imagine Castel Volturno not only as a place for training and tactics, but as the stage for a football drama that is taking shape.
Here, the president of SSC Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, decided to make a surprise visit according to rumors from Sky Sport, perhaps to change the course of events of a season that so far has not smiled on the blue club.
The arrival of De Laurentiis at Castel Volturno
Aurelio De Laurentiis He's not someone who likes to sit idle, especially when his Napoli needs to find its edge again. Therefore, she headed towards the Castel Volturno sports center, a place that these days is more a crossroads of destinies than a simple training ground.
A visit that has the flavor of a general inspection, just at the moment the club's fortunes seem to be fluctuating.
The relationship with Rudi Garcia
Rudi Garcia he's not living in a golden age, and he knows it. Yet, despite the disappointing results, it seems that De Laurentiis has no intention of pulling the plug.
Flirting with Antonio Conte it is now a closed chapter, an illusion that has vanished like fog in the sun. Now everything points to Garcia, who, apparently, will not be a simple 'backup card'. The Frenchman is the man of the moment and De Laurentiis seems determined to bet on it.
What happened in the team meeting
When it comes to football, words are often not enough. This is why De Laurentiis has called up the big names of the team, such as By Lorenzo, for a face-to-face chat. Double training sessions were held, almost as if the club wanted to send a message: we start again from here, with or without the national team players.
There is a cause to support, that of Napoli and Garcia and the president wants everyone to know about it.
That deep, broad and total reflection to find a solution, that solution seemed to be found in Antonio Conte: an old obsession of De Laurentiis, already sought after Sarri in 2018. From there this relationship that has been going on for years, De Laurentiis thought he was the one 'right man. But it didn't happen: Napoli is ready to renew their trust in Rudi Garcia, there is no plan B behind Conte. He moves forward with Garcia.
