The president’s choices, the programming started in 2022, the recognition of errors and the ability to convince Conte. That’s why the tricolor rewards first of all the Neapolitan patron
The Scudetto of Aurelio De Laurentiis, even before Antonio Conte. To reread the Napoli ride to the fourth title of history, the starting point must be reverse. It is true that the most winning technician of Italian football, when it comes to accelerating sports projects, transplanted to Naples a culture of victory that seemed impossible to make you take root in a few months, but stopping at this by forgetting everything else risks making you lose sight of what really happened this season at Maradona.
A figure is enough to help: the rose made available to Conte is the one that had the value at the time of the acquisition of the cards of the highest players after Juventus. More than the Inter of the zero parameters and the Milan of the return plans to maximum competitiveness. De Laurentiis did not pay attention to expenses of the last summer, that of the 150 million invested despite not having managed to sell Osimhen, and he had done in 2022 by closing the previous cycle and opening what he would immediately lead to the tricolor of Luciano Spalletti.
The Scudetto of De Laurentiis, from the dispute to the choice of Conte
Often the president is accused of the Neapolitan fans of not wanting to give body to dreams. The sale of Kvaratskhelia in the January session, without an adequate substitute arriving, has put it back in the sights of the criticism and Count himself, but the numbers tell a different story.
Not only that, even in the choices this is more than ever the Scudetto of De Laurentiis. He had the courage and strength to convince Conte to marry Naples and his project, he guaranteed him free hand and respected the pact of silence Defiland himself even when he would have liked to respond to criticism and prickles. Not only those coming from outside, but above all those addressed directly from inside the technical group. A sacrifice that paid and that must be recognized to the man to whom the Neapolitans owe the great merit of having returned to the square in the Italian and European football scene.
Conte’s outbursts and De Laurentiis’ programming: so the Naples Scudetto was born
In one of his outbursts in the season finale Antonio Conte sailedly accused him of not planning, but of improvising. He does not respond to truth. Whatever the opinion towards ADL, it is a fact that This Napoli cycle was born from an iron programming that began well before the summer of excellent adii. Insigne lost, Koulibaly, Mertens, Fabian Ruiz and others, many have believed that Napoli was reduced after having only caressed the victory in the Scudetto. De Laurentiis knew how to explain that it was an operation that cannot be postponed to balance the club, but that ambition remained the same and the facts gave him reason.
Having understood and accepted the amount of errors made in the post -scuds months in 2023, making the active repentance in subsequent choices, is another root of the shield tree. The title torn from Inter will go down in history as a masterpiece by Antonio Conte who deserves applause and showcases: not alone, however, because De Laurentiis’ contribution was central to building a fairytale season on which to graft the future.
Naples Scudetto, now you need investments for the Champions League
Huge resources will be needed, programming and great foresight to transform a perfect group to chase a single goal into a team that can hold the impact of the multitasking season, with the Super Champions League to drain physical and psychological energies. This is the challenge that awaits Napoli, collecting the legacy of the tricolor ride. A work to which De Laurentiis cannot be subtracted but who is not said to want to face. Also for this reason it is not realistic to ignore the weight of the president as beautiful is happening to the Neapolitan people.
