Napoli greet Higuain with raspberry

By Football Italia staff

Napoli fans have launched an appeal to greet Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain with a flashmob of “a single giant synchronised raspberry.”

The forward infuriated his former supporters when he pushed for a €90m transfer to rivals Juve over the summer.

He will return to the Stadio San Paolo in April, as Napoli host the Bianconeri on April 2.

A fan has launched a flashmob appeal to greet Higuain not with the usual jeers or insults, but something altogether more Neapolitan - blowing a raspberry at him.

“Leave at home all violent intent. The Neapolitan people, civilised as we are, resolve issues not with violence, but in a peaceful manner to even the most deadly of wrongs…

“A single giant raspberry synchronised throughout the entire stadium and then leave it all behind us, goodbye to rancour, because life goes on.”

Neapolitan movie legend Toto was the master of the raspberry when it came to taking down authority figures and his picture is included in the flashmob appeal.

It’s also true that a co-ordinated raspberry would be somewhat difficult to penalise for the Disciplinary Commission.
