No victory is sweeter than the loser’s. This is exactly how Neapolitans feel about winning the Italian championship. SSC Napoli last succeeded in 1990, then with Maradona in the selection. Since then he has been worshiped as God. A talent of the century who has kicked himself out of poverty and hoisted himself and the southern Italians on the football Olympia.
The other great folk hero of the Neapolitans, the singer Nino D’Angelo (not to be confused with the German Nino De Angelo), recently dedicated a song to Maradona: “Campiò” is the name of the piece – more love is not possible .
And now the southern Italians prove by winning the “Scudetto” that they are among the best in football, even without the talent of the century. Naples of all places, the nightmare that has become reality for all those who need order and reliability to feel at home. This beautiful city of derelict structures, poisoned suburbs and the Camorra is to blame for most of it. The city where losing is part of everyday life in the face of high youth unemployment and rampant corruption.
In Italian football, this great disparity between the global North and South can be seen under a magnifying glass: Inter, Milan and Juventus Turin have been fighting it out for decades. No team from the neglected south of the country manages to seriously disrupt the party of the privileged in Serie A. Except Naples. Poor David just pushed the rich Goliaths through a tunnel. Damn, that’s good!
