Sometimes, Diego Maradona returns to Naples. Almost 30 years ago, you had to send him away from the port city. Due to a positive doping test for cocaine in 1991.

Hero Maradona is still remained. For seven years he played for the SSC. As he had at the time of its introduction in 1984 in the San Paolo stadium a couple of times with the Ball, watched 75000. Three years later, the Napoli for the first Time became the champion, in 1990, for the second Time. There were people who sold your car to get a Ticket for the crucial games.

Since the great days of Maradona’s pictures hanging up everywhere in the city, probably will change it even. And if Maradona comes in now, sometimes for a few days or maybe just hours, is equal to the whole city in excitement. In front of his Hotel, the Tifosi gather and sing the old songs.

A beauty with Worry –

Naples is a splendid city. Beautifully situated with views of Vesuvius and the sea. With a magnificent old town. At the harbour the ships take you to Capri and Ischia. Naples is also marked by many Concerns. The unemployment, the Camorra, the crumbling facades and dangerous suburbs. And under the earth, the Magma bubbling.

but Never Naples pulsates more violent than when it comes to the Societa Sportiva Calcio. And it’s doing pretty well. Clearly, since the Out is in the Champions League against PSG and Liverpool, despite only one defeat in six games. And clearly, there is the eternally hated by Juve – and it is really hated down there. Juventus is the arch-enemy, to win the championship since 2012 without interruption. Not because it is particularly much better, but because often the referee help – because they are, at least, in Naples, for sure.

In the past three years, the SSC was the Second, third, Second. Now Napoli is on 2nd place. Of course, behind Juve, eight points. Carlo Ancelotti arrived in the summer as a coach for the Chelsea drawn Maurizio Sarri. In the Team Marek Hamsik (31) folk hero status: The Slovakian is making his twelfth of the season; exactly one year ago, he overtook Maradona with the 116. Goal record scorer.

live Quietly? Impossible!

There is a Video on Youtube, like Hamsik kicks in the dark in the old town with the boys. Who will play as footballer for Napoli, dispensed with a part of his life. Go eat in the center, for a new pair of Jeans to buy an Espresso on the promenade – is difficult. The city under siege your heroes anywhere.

Sporty Napoli is on a normal day, well for the FCZ. This is not necessarily to Hamsik, who was already more dominant. But Kalidou Koulibaly, a tower from the inside defender (1.95 m). In midfield, the Brazilian Allan is formative. And really uncomfortable it can be, if Napoli makes the front pace with the Italian national team players Lorenzo Insigne with Belgian midfielder Dries Mertens, with the Spaniard José María Callejon, as well as the Polish national team striker Arkadiusz Milik. In Serie A, only Juventus has also 33 changes made in 16 rounds. The FCZ as opponents – in the South they are happy with it. “Napoli it goes well, Zurich is the next opponent,” writes “Il Mattino”. However, when FCZ is the desire to major in two games against this Club from the football wonder of the world. Maybe less from a sporting point of view.

head of sports, Thomas Bickel speaks of a “very difficult lot”. Coach Ludovic Magnin looks at the opponent “an excellent player”. For financial reasons, but it is for the FCZ a Dreamless sleep. The Tifosi will fill the Letzigrund pretty sure up to the last place. As was to be Maradona’s times, in 1989, acts as the Uefa Cup, FC Wettingen opponent, for his home game to Zurich, which have migrated to and a 0:0 won (game 1:2). Napolis next visit to the city is likely to bring the FCZ around 2 million Swiss francs in gross revenues.
