Napoli, De Laurentiis: "Juventus has 380 million in revenue, give me 100 and watch Napoli win too"

Ahead of Saturday's Napoli-Roma match, Aurelio De Laurentiis had a lot of important things to say at his press conference at Castel Volturno: "The film industry has taught me that budgets are made at the very end. At the seventh matchday, what do I have to say? I can only affirm that we have a squad that is more competitive last year. This incident happened to Milik, but we have Gabbiadini, Callejon, or the 'false nine.' There are various solutions that Sarri has created. It's clear that it also takes time to integrate the new players, and that's why there have been so many questions about players like Diawara. It's the coach's right and he has to assume responsibility for his choices. This is the same for Rog and the others. Sarri said that Juventus are in a league of their own? The words have to be put in the right context. It's normal that Juventus has a century of history behind them. We have not inherited Napoli: with great humility, I came into Napoli Soccer to keep their history from being tarnished in Serie C. Everyone thinks that there is a link between the Napoli of Maradona and today's Napoli. But it's not so. Do you know why Napoli is strong? Because the Neapolitans are strong too. Then, we had the greatest player in the world, Maradona. But if [former owner] Mr. Ferlaino didn't convince us back then, what would we be talking about today? So I say, hold on tight to these 12 years of the new Napoli and let's move forward. I'm a winner, nevermind if I stay close to this Napoli or not. But I stay quiet, we play in a league where we should challenge for everything and move forward. I hope that soon, this team will be where I aspire it to be. Juventus has 380 million in revenue, give me 100 more and see if we don't win the scudetto too." @GIANMARCalciO
