Will he leave, won’t he leave, the future of the right-back and captain of Napoli, Giovanni Di Lorenzo (30 years old), was still very uncertain in recent weeks. Finally, the player made his decision and decided to stay with the Partenopei. A volte-face that he wanted to explain in a long letter written from the heart.
“I confess, I had the idea of leaving. I felt your discontent with me and, as the president said, I felt abandoned by the club. After the decline we experienced on the pitch, everything was understandable: your anger, the frustration of the club, my dismay (…) My relationship with my agent Mario Giuffredi goes beyond the professional sphere. He sensed my discomfort and did his job, trying to protect me and act in my best interests. No one is happier than him that I am staying in Naples. Our city deserves to find that joy again. We have work to do and I assure you that we will do it with an angry face, as our coach said. It is time to raise our heads. We must do it all together. I will see you at Castel Di Sangro and then, of course, at the Maradona stadium. I look forward to seeing you by our side. As always. Giovanni“, did he declare.
