Alessandro Buongiorno damages knee ligaments — 41 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 41 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match18 Aug 2036

Napoli refuse to drop out of the race

Position 1, 85 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Mathías Olivera puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Napoli, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad18 Aug 2036

Rafa Marín in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Napoli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market18 Aug 2036

Napoli turn down Juve Stabia for David Hamilton

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom18 Aug 2036

Napoli to lose Kristjan Asllani for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Kristjan Asllani has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad16 Jun 2036

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alessandro Buongiorno

105 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Napoli lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market16 Jun 2036

Napoli turn down Cagliari for Mattia Liberali

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad16 Jun 2036

Tempers go at Napoli

Rafa Marín was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad16 Jun 2036

Words at Napoli training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jesús Rodríguez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad16 Jun 2036

Real improvement from Ignacio León at Napoli

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ignacio León is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market16 Jun 2036

Alessandro Buongiorno linked with a move away

The name of Alessandro Buongiorno keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Napoli say nothing, which says plenty.

Napoli have won it

This is the season the town will measure the next twenty against. The trophy travels home with the squad, and the route through the streets was agreed days ago.

Squad2 Jun 2036

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alessandro Buongiorno

120 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Napoli lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad2 Jun 2036

The season belongs to Rafa Marín

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Napoli have had the benefit of it.

Market2 Jun 2036

Jesús Rodríguez raises the bar for Napoli

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Napoli heard it as anything else.

Squad2 Jun 2036

Tempers go at Napoli

Alessandro Buongiorno was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Alex Meret claims the golden glove

The one award nobody else on the pitch can win goes to Alex Meret, on 9 clean sheets across the season. Keepers wait a career for a season like it.
