🏟️👎 Napoli president De Laurentiis: "The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona? It's a dump. PSG pay the same rent for their stadium as we do, but they have full exclusivity and make €100m a year, while we only have access for three days: before, during and after the match. It’s an old stadium, with an athletics track and even a moat that pushes fans further away."
"Authorities here are football’s biggest enemies. They don’t realise there are 25 million potential voters who care about this sport."
"In 2013 we went to London to play against Arsenal. I visited the Emirates Stadium: 200 lounges and 60,700 seats. The city gave the club permission to build housing in the area around the new stadium to return immediately from the investment. In this way Arsenal was able to stay at the top for 15 years, even without winning a league title since 2004".
"We need more flexibility. Let clubs build or convert stadiums with integrated housing projects. Those revenues can sustain long-term investment." (@cmdotcom)
On my way to DC for NIAFs 50th anniversary gala and it’s given me some time to read Conte’s book.
There’s a part I truly love:
“The new generation has a complicated relationship with ‘struggle’.
Let’s say they struggle to endure the hard work and frustration because, almost always, success never comes quickly.
There’s one remedy and it’s the most simple of all. I trust in two key words which are ‘attitude’ and ‘struggle’.
Attitude because it’s not about the technical competence in which we do things that makes a difference. What makes a difference is the way you do things. Attitude isn’t a gift like talent, you can work on it, you can improve it. It’s a decision and that’s it.
Struggle (hard work/effort) because it’s the very foundation of work. It’s a true and real medicine.”
Love this man
@AzzurriFanPhil How much time does he have to react to the deflection, .1 seconds? Take out the stop watch on your phone and try to stop it inside 0.1
The deflection raised it enough to get over him on a post he had covered, not fair to expect him to react to it
🥇 Inter 2-3 Juventus (2017/18)
Cuadrado tira da posizione impossibile, Hamir qui sembra giocare a palla avvelenata, ci delizia di una schivata di palla + parata laser con mano e schiena appoggiate al palo
combo PERFETTA, la Gioconda di Hamir, 1º posto strameritato
VOTO 10/10
Pensavo di averle viste tutte nel calcio, ma poi ho visto Baldini che ha fatto allenare l'U21 con un occhio bendato per aumentare la concentrazione, migliorare la percezione spaziale e temporale, e sviluppare la vista periferica.
