Gesto dell ombrello maradona biography

Whether it is for ideological or economic reasons, a football derby can be based on many conflicts anywhere in the world. A disagreement in the club’s management can lead to the founding of a new club and thus the birth of a new rivalry. Sometimes, you just want to get the upper hand over the other team in your city or region.

When we analyze the main rivalries in Italian football, the North vs South divide across the country stands out. The economic development of the northern part of Italy also had an impact on football as, traditionally, the teams from the richer cities like Milan and Turin have dominated the Serie A.

However, some teams from the South managed to break the dominance in the 1980s. In this period, southern sides Roma and Napoli were able to battle for the title and even secure a few Scudetto. This led to the birth of a new rivalry, which was dubbed the Derby del Sole.

Since 1928, when they met for the first time, until the mid-1980s, the two sides were basically friends as they were both busy trying to overcome the stronger clubs from the north of Italy. For this reason, it was quite common to see the Romanisti and the Partenopei fans sitting together on the stands and cheering for each other. It had also become a tradition for a Roma fan and a Napoli fan to meet in the middle of the pitch and exchange flags before the game.

So, how did a matchup that used to be played in such a friendly atmosphere for years become one of the biggest rivalries in Serie A?

Apparently, it all started with Diego Maradona’s transfer to Napoli. As more and more home supporters came to the San Paolo Stadium, Roma fans started to have fewer tickets available than what they used to have when visiting the Napoli turf.

Roma’s Curva Sud and Napoli’s Curva B had always welcomed each other, but with Diego’s arrival the stands were not enough for both groups. For this reason, the Curva Sud visitors were moved to another area, but they got into a fight with

“Napoli play anti-Italian football. They are very different from other Italian teams.”

The words of Eintracht coach, Oliver Glasner, the night before Napoli manhandled them in the Champions League.

And. Well. I see no lies.

Napoli have been balling out all season. You open up your phone, check the scores from the weekend and while football as a whole is unpredictable, a certain result in Italy seems to always be a foregone conclusion these days.

The feeling of a team being inevitable shouldn’t be a foreign one to the average fan. Especially the average Serie A fan. But that feeling hasn’t been associated with Napoli in a very very long time.

Actually, what am I saying, the Azzuri HAVE had an inevitability about them over the years.  The feeling that they would routinely mount a title push and inevitably crumble on the final stretch.

Not this time, though. I don’t want to jinx anything, but these guys are flying. Which makes today as good a day a ever to look back on their journey to this point and decipher what’s brought them this close to the promised land.

With that being said, what’s been going on over the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona?

Yo, what is going on everyone. Hope you’re all well. I’m Tinashe and welcome back to another video.

While the top 5 leagues in world football are still pretty open ended, with a unanimous winner still to be decided, it seems that things are pretty much wrapping up in Italy.

After 24 games played games played, with 21 wins, 1 loss and only 15 goals conceded, Napoli find themselves with 65 points. 18 more than second placed Inter. In the Champions League, they topped their UCL group, dishing out 6-1 and 4-1 batterings to Ajax and Liverpool respectively.

It’s hard to imagine they’ll let up anytime soon. Then again, things have a habit of not going according to plan for the Azzuri.

The troubled son of Naples

Napoli have had a rather unique history throughout the ages. To say this is a storied club would be a ma

There was once a brotherhood between Roma and Napoli supporters that was the envy of Italy. It existed as a form of solidarity between the two sets of fans as their respective clubs tried to break the power of the northern clubs, and it gave birth to the Derby del Sole, sometimes known as the Derby del Sud, which hit its heyday during the 1970s and early 1980s. Then, unfortunately, that relationship was fractured and shattered by a series of events, building up to a tragic nadir in 2014. Roma-Napoli now is no longer the true Derby del Sole. For nearly the last 30 years, the fixture has been marred by tensions, clashes and violence on coaches, at train stations, even at police stations, leading up to the death of Ciro Esposito at the hands of Roma ultra Daniele De Santis two years ago. Just this summer, a 20 year old Roman was stabbed and hospitalised in Naples for having a Roma tattoo on his arm on display in the city centre. A deep and mutual mistrust has spread throughout both sets of fans, leading to these violent clashes, and now the game is one of Italy’s most high risk games with away fans often banned from attending. How did it come to this?

Controversy has been a part of this fixture right from the beginning. Roma and Napoli met in the league for the first time back on 10 November, 1929, when both clubs were in their infancy. Roma were 1-0 up when Napoli winger Camillo Fenili received the ball and, from less than 10 yards out, hit an unbelievably fierce shot. Roma keeper Bruno Ballante was motionless as the ball flew past him and the ball seemed to be on target, but it came back off the supports behind the goal and the referee gave a goal kick. Napoli’s players were furious, adamant that the shot had been on target, and in the pandemonium even Roma’s sporting director Vincenzo Biancone said that the ball had gone under the crossbar. The ball had actually gone through the net, and the hole was quickly repaired by one of the ballboys, B
