Bruscolotti stings De Laurentiis: “The captain of Napoli after Insigne? We need clarity”

The old Napoli fans remember him as the Captain, because Beppe Bruscolotti, in addition to having played over 500 games in Napoli, was the man who with generosity and simplicity passed the captain’s armband to Diego Armando Maradona, maximo leader of that Naples that won in Italy and Europe in the late 1980s. A man with a straight back and unshakable principles, today Bruscolotti appears critical of a certain way of managing things in Naples.

Bruscolotti how important is that captain’s armband, in Naples in particular?

–

“Much. And many don’t realize it. The captain must be credible on and off the pitch, mediate between the team, the coach and the club. He must be able to speak to the fans ”.

Who will be the next captain after Insigne?

–

“It’s not clear yet and I think De Laurentiis should be clearer in this. On contracts, on renewals, on objectives. Koulibaly may have the qualities but if now the president has put him in front of an either-or it is not easy. Spalletti is right when he asks the club for clarity on the objectives to be pursued. But I don’t see this clarity completely ”.

What doesn’t convince you?

–

“This way of doing De Laurentiis who always tries to put the blame on the players and does not understand the importance of creating a cohesive team with personality, also taking care of the sports area of ​​the company. Even with the fans, we need to speak clearly. Instead the president is often divisive and does not feed people’s passion “.

Do you think that in the end this season Napoli has lost a great opportunity?

–

“Yes, because if until the beginning of April you are hooked to the Milanese and then suddenly collapse, moreover in two home games, and without even getting a yellow card… it means that something is not working. But if from the inside they are not capable of self-criticism then it is difficult to grow “.
