The devilish coincidence that links Cremonese with Napoli and the Argentine national team

Not only did the Cremonese make history by qualifying for the Coppa Italia semi-finals at Roma’s expense, but they linked their name to an incredible statistic that also involved Napoli and Argentina national team.

Bottom of the table in this year’s Serie A, the Cremonese need a small miracle to avoid relegation, but in the Coppa Italia they could well be called a team of… miracles.

And that’s because in the round of 16 he overcame Napoli’s obstacle by eliminating them on penalties at “Diego Maradona”, while in the quarter-finals he eliminated Roma and won 2-1 against Jose Mourinho’s team at the “Olimpico” in Rome won.

This was only the second time in their history that Cremonese had reached the “4” of the Coppa Italia, the first time in 1986-87 when the Grigorossi were only a breath away from the grand final but were beaten by Atalanta.

However, what is driving fans of the stats “crazy” is the fact that in the two best runs of its history at the institution, Cremonese has linked its name to two other sides: Napoli and the Argentina national team.

In the 1986-87 season, when Cremonese went to the “4” of the Cup, the Albisteleste were already world champions in 16 thanks to the magical performances of Diego Maradona in the stadiums of Mexico, while that season the Partenopei won their first Scudetto, led from the “Pipe D’Oro”.

Now, 36 years later, the Cremonese are back in the top four, with the Argentine national team having won the 2022 World Cup since 1986 and Napoli ready to celebrate their third championship, with their difference with 2. Inter already standing at 13 points and has increasing tendencies related to the image of both teams.

Incredibly, Mourinho, he sang it to Kvaratshelias and was hugging and kissing him within 10 seconds

An incredible scene took place in the first 45 minutes of the Roma-Napoli game in which Jose Mourinho first theatrically cheered Kvaratshelias and then hugged and kissed him within ten seconds.

Incredible scene in Rome – Napoli where Jose Mourinho first chants Quaratschelia and then within ten seconds hugs, kisses and talks to him as if he were his father.

In the 37th minute of the game, the Georgian international earned a foul and a yellow card from his opponent, in a phase that took place in front of Mourinho, who insisted that there was not even a foul.

Afterwards, the Portuguese technician initially shouted at Kvaratshelias, telling him that he was just acting, but as he approached Georgianos, he hugged him, kissed him and began talking to him in a very calm tone while the two men found each other. A little later, the recording showed Mourinho having a very friendly chat with Osimen.
