Champions League
De Laurentiis on the aftermath: ‘Meloni should show the same courage as Thatcher’
Aurelio De Laurentiis in his comments on the violent incidents in the match between Napoli and Eintracht, in which he said, among other things, that Meloni must have the same courage as Thatcher to solve the problem.
The owner of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, in his comments to Gazzetta dello Sport, condemned the serious incidents that had occurred before the match with Eintracht in Italy for the “16” of the Champions League.
He expressed pride that those responsible for the incidents stayed away from the stadiums and that the right side of Naples was shown on television, stressing that current Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni must show the same courage as Margaret Thatcher to solve the problem , the “Iron Lady” of neoliberalism.
It is recalled that the former English Prime Minister imposed strict measures to curb stadium violence, while the decision banned English teams from European competitions for five years.
“Sport is like that when the support is healthy. And families should go to the stadium, not those who want to sell or smoke marijuana.
Maybe the “We are Napoli” shouts chased the German fans out of the stadium or they had a duel with the police. But yesterday Diego Maradona looked like an English stadium.
I’m proud that we showed this side of Naples to those who saw it on TV. Now the politicians have to face the situation and I hope Georgia Meloni shows the same courage as Margaret Thatcher“.
