John Di Lorenzo formalizes his choice in a letter
The words of John Di Lorenzo
Giovanni Di Lorenzo with an open letter published on the Napoli website has made official his decision to remain in the shadow of Vesuvius after weeks in which he seemed determined to leave: "Dear Napoli fans, in recent weeks our love è been a bit' "scumbinato", like what Pino Daniele sang in one of his beautiful songs. It happens even in the most beautiful and intense stories to experience moments of crisis. All those who, like us, carry the blue in their hearts are veterans of a very difficult 12 months. For me, they were the hardest of my career. To go from the indelible joy of the Scudetto to the sadness of a season in which we could do nothing è was a difficult trauma to metabolize. I could feel your disappointment in my skin and I could not with my teammates change the'inertia of our year".
"I admit it, I fondled the idea of leaving. I felt your dissatisfaction with me and, as the president said, I had had the perception that I had been abandoned by the companyà. After the collapse we experienced on the field, forò it was all understandable: your anger, the frustration of the club, my confusion".
"With Mario Giuffredi, my prosecutor, I have a relationship that goes beyond the professional sphere. He perceived my discomfort and did his job: trying to act for my protection and in my interest. But there is no’è person happier than him that I stayed in Naples. That cursed season, però è finally passed. I listened to the words of President De Laurentiis and those of coach Antonio Conte, I talked to both of them in these days, and the message I can convey to you, without making useless proclamations and sailor promises, è very simple: I can't wait to start again. Becauseé I feel like one of you".
" There may be other difficult moments, but I will never deny what Città, fans and Società, in the person of President De Laurentiis, have done for me and my family. Being the captain of the third Scudetto, the first without Diego, is not è only an honor: è a responsibility;. I could not leave like this, after an unbearable season for the value of the jersey we wear. I am sorry for everything that è happened to us, but, I reiterate, è it is now behind us. In front of me, now, I see only the pride of returning to wear those colors I love, that sash, the desire to show Italy the true strength of our Naples and to relive the thrills of 2023.
Our city deserves to rejoice again. Amma struggle' and I assure you that we will do it with an angry face, as the coach said. È time to raise our heads again and we must all do it together. See you in Castel Di Sangro and then especially at the Maradona".
