About 800 agents guard the city: the guest supporters who arrived in Campania yesterday evening were filed and searched. No one will be able to enter the stadium as the German club has returned the entire equipment at its disposal (2400 coupons) in protest
A day of strong tension for public order in Naples is expected. Because despite the prohibitions, many Germans have arrived in the city and others are expected, with garrisons in the railway stations and at the airport and maximum alert in the historic center and in key points. There are about 800 men of the police who are presiding over the city to prevent clashes between the factions, after the precedents in Frankfurt where there were several violent outbreaks in February and over 40 arrests were recorded.
FIRST ARRIVALS
—
At nightfall on Tuesday about 400 Eintracht ultras, all strictly dressed in black, arrived at the central station of Naples, with a train from Salerno. A large group that moves like a team and sings the songs of their team. The police force filed them and searched them. And then transferred by coach, some from the local transport company, to their respective hotels. On via Marina, during the journey, there was a raid by local ultras: an ambush with the throwing of smoke bombs, stones and bottles at a vehicle in transit, fortunately without consequences. During the night there was then a vandal raid against the Alkymya Bellini bar in Piazza Bellini, carried out by a dozen people dressed in black. The exercise was closed and also in this case, fortunately, no injuries were reported.
TICKETS RETURNED
—
Eintracht board member Philipp Reschke, contesting the bans imposed by the Italian authorities in recent days, had also declared: “There could be various ways to actually get around this decree and bring some of our fans to the stadium. But first of all, we won’t let ourselves be divided into postcode areas. We will therefore completely renounce the contingent of away tickets “. And in effect on Tuesday evening the 2400 tickets from the away sector, which will therefore remain closed, were returned to Napoli, unsold. This means that all the ultras who have arrived in the city do not have tickets. It is striking that, beyond some means of the police, there are other buses rented for the fans. It would seem that Eintracht himself booked them, but officially let it be known that he has renounced the away trip of his supporters.
