Riccardo Bigon, sports manager and former manager of Napoli, spoke at Radio Marte in Marte Sport Live hosted by Dario Sarnataro.
“How much is Rome-Naples worth? It is difficult to establish the value of a single match, especially in a long race like that of the Serie A championship. It is certainly not decisive, it cannot be, it can be a way to confirm the moment of the two teams. positive for both of them. But in the event of a knockout it would be just a false step and nothing else. It is important to always keep the balance, whatever results come out of the game. Napoli are doing very well, they have an important quality of play but they will have to focus on continuity to try to win something. Even in Rome, if he guesses the right match he can score several goals, as happened in the big matches with Liverpool or Ajax. It is a strong team with important potential. The blow Kvaratskhelia? , also at Bologna two years ago they proposed it to us but they were figures out of reach for our club. Congratulations to Napoli, to Giuntoli and to the president, I am pleased that Mantovani and Micheli of the scout also have a hand ing, they are two collaborators that I brought to Napoli in 2009. I praise Napoli also for the ability to replace important players with youngsters, it means having remarkable knowledge and corporate solidity. Is the current cycle comparable to that started with Benitez and with the various Koulibaly, Jorginho, Albiol, Callejon …? Yes, there is a parallel, because today as then we are talking about two training seasons. At the time we aspired to the step to enter Europe permanently and to be competitive in A. Now Napoli have been in the European bracket for a decade, with this new cycle they intend to try to enter the competitive bracket to reach the top in Europe and to win the title in Serie A. I wish you so, if Napoli and the Neapolitans are happy I could only rejoice. “
