‘Napoli the people’s champions’

By Football Italia staff

Esteban Cambiasso believes “the people are on Napoli’s side” in the Scudetto battle with Juventus.

Both sides are setting a furious pace at the top of Serie A, with the Partenopei leading the champions by a point.

“Napoli believe, not just because of the points and being first, but because of their play,” former Inter midfielder Cambiasso explained to Sky.

“They’re admired by everyone and they create sympathy, not dislike, not least because they’re duelling with Juventus who have won for so many years.

“They go forward with a smile and their game, and the people are on Napoli’s side.

“As for Juventus, we’ll need to see how much energy the Champions League takes from them.”
