Juan Jesus su Mazzarri
Juan Jesus spoke to Prime Video: “It’s nothing new for me to be a left back. I have a good relationship with Mazzarri, I’ve known him since his Inter days. I make myself available to the team, especially in a match like this, a beautiful one, in which we will have to have fun to do well. Has Mazzarri changed? He is the same, he has the same determination in character. He immediately gave us a hand, we are calm and now it’s all about winning and working. Napoli must not be afraid of Real Madrid, but respect yes. We are eleven against eleven. They are Real Madrid and have a great history, we must assert ourselves and play on equal terms“.

De Laurentiis before the match
Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of Napoli, spoke to Prime before the match: “I’m very happy with the team, because Napoli have never fallen. He had some stumbles, as happens in life. It’s a long way from here to saying that it’s no longer the Napoli of the Scudetto. I’m always of the opinion that the calculations are done in the end. So let’s look at the cups and the championship, let’s see how the great managers of football, who have the great responsibility of ruining this football, if instead they manage to make it more modern and effective and less verbose for the very young people who can no longer follow a outdated and old football. Stadiums must become like the Bernabeu, usable seven days a week and 24 hours a day. A stadium like this in Italy? If the Juventus player Gaetano, mayor of Naples, comes out of the ties that bind him to the city council and sells it to me, in a year I will make it the most beautiful stadium in Italy. If the councilors hate Naples and are not aligned with the population, we have the Royal Palace of Caserta, Pompeii. Either on one side or the other. Naples was a kingdom two hundred years ago, it’s not that Campania doesn’t identify with Naples. The President of the Region is on my side. We loved Napoli with Sarri, with Spalletti, but also with Ancelotti, with Mazzarri who is the first who made us jump for joy in Europe. Let’s hope that politicians do not abolish the decree Growth, otherwise Europeanization will go out the window.” READ ALL THE WORDS OF DE LAURENTIIS.
