Adl compared Garcia’s Napoli to his old film, hopefully not for that scene. Napoli this year all seems like I could but I don’t want to
It must have been a Freudian slip by Aurelio De Laurentiis when he compared Rudi Garcia to his old film Manual of Love. Film divided into four episodes, as the stages of love should be, at least according to the director: falling in love, crisis, betrayal, abandonment.
The abandonment episode contains one of the funniest gags in Italian cinema: a Carlo Verdone left by his wife, destroyed by grief, decides on a desperate attempt at telephone reconciliation in the middle of the night, gets the wrong telephone number, and is then covered in insults by the ‘interlocutor.
Remembering this episode we couldn’t help but imagine Aurelio De Laurentiis in the role of Verdone who, immediately after the championship, makes a desperate attempt at reconciliation with Spalletti, but gets the wrong phone number, contacting Rudi Garcia, with everything that follows.
The narrative ploy and the institutional tone of the president are increasingly convincing that Napoli’s current season was born in an approximate manner.
What was “communicated” by the club to the team, for the choice of the men called to replace the architects of the championship, is exhaustive regarding the scope of the current season.
The truth is simple: this Napoli, these men were able to express themselves on the levels that we saw exclusively with Spalletti, capable of touching the right chords to allow everyone to feel important, always providing performances of the highest level.
The genesis of the season, imposed by De Laurentiis, is darker in tone and less open to the future. It all seems like I could but I don’t want to. They are chasing the Club World Cup, but they entrust Kim’s starting role to a reserve, waiting for Natan to finish his apprenticeship. Osimhen’s cumbersome contract will become an exciting soap opera, but at the moment it seems to have ended up in the same drawer as Rino Gattuso’s contract. The forced valorization of Raspadori, whose role was defined by Spalletti in the national team, must take place in all roles on the pitch, excluding the natural one. Let’s not forget Simeone. Elmas as a “tertium”, in a midfield with very many men.
Garcia will probably bless De Laurentiis’ sudden nocturnal call up to a certain point. Then it will become yet another chapter in the life of a president abandoned by everyone.
