Lorenzo Insigne
“It is not my fault if Napoli loses.”
It is what Lorenzo Insigne thinks when supporters charged him with the defeating of its team. Neapolitans against Neapolitans, they are in favor or against the player. From Frattamaggiore, unlike eminent predecessors, authentic flags such as Juliano and Bruscolotti, he does not manage to come in the hearts of fans.
Perhaps they are guilty his two agents, bad advisers. Before ubiquitous guests to local broadcasts, then disappeared. 5 million euro net a season. This is their contract renewal request during the last pre-season retreat. Reality or urban legend?
Perhaps because of his attitudes which someone considers to much by celebrity. Bleached blond hair like those of his more illustrious colleagues. Gestures of impatience when he is replaced. The obsessive research of the goal, penalizing teammate better located. The damn way of kicking the ball in motion that is not his specialty, as they could tell the ball boys positioned behind the San Paolo goals. His innate ability to choose the worst thing to do.
But how good he is when he manages to stop the ball defying the laws of physics. How good he is when he does the movement and the launch which allows the teammate Callejon to score. It always does, and yet, he always manages to deceive the direct opponent. But lots footballers who play in Napoli thank him for his assists. Because Lorenzo, you do not forget, is the assists prince. And how good and generous when, chasing the enemy from until his own penalty area, he conquers the ball. Beautiful when from the bench, he runs towards its teammate who has just scored, in order to celebrate like a curve supporter.
Difficult period for Insigne,
who is just 25 years old (here you can read its data), and he has not yet reached his full maturity. He can and must improve. He can and must do the Napoli’s history .
It is better not to persecute him, let’s go with him towards the glory, his own and that of Napoli, which are closely linked between them .
