With a resurgent Napoli leading Serie A by 18 points, Naples is primed to erupt like Vesuvius
Sunday was supposed to be the day. Not just the day, but the best day in 33 years, when Naples was to erupt like Vesuvius in a fireball of ecstasy.
Families got together before the afternoon Napoli-Salernitana game at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium for a celebratory lunch. That meant fish, the traditional festive meal in Naples, and copious amounts of Greco di Tufo and other varieties of crisp white local wines. In the midafternoon, when the game started, the smell of cooked fish still lingered in the air, the horns blared, and smoke from blue flares filled the streets.
In spite of Napoli’s non-victory on Sunday, the team has already been hailed as one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of European soccer. De Laurentiis broke all the rules in rebuilding the team. He learned how to do more with less – because there is no other choice. Incredibly, Napoli actually reduced its payroll in recent years, bucking the trend of paying the GDP of small countries to buy superstars.
