Napoli-Albinoleffe 0-0
Goalless draw against Albinoleffe
First appearance for the goalkeeper Sorriso, good performance from Di Roberto.
Napoli's championship ends with the twenty-sixth draw in a surrealistic
atmosphere. At the San Paolo stadium in Fuorigrotta, for the game against a
willing Albinoleffe, who had no more to ask from its season, there were little
more of a thousand spectators including the season ticket holders to support the
"partenopei".
By now we must pay more attention to what happens the day after tomorrow in one
of the most delicate board meetings in Napoli's history than to the playing
field.
The game, as it seems to be the case for Napoli lately, doesn't say much, it
drags itself on until the end, when the few Napoli fans cheered their players
with loud boos, throwing back at them the shirts that the players meant to give
to the supporters that followed Napoli's last match.
To sum it up we can say that maybe the Azzurri could have made more out of some
moves, but all in all the draw was the fairest result, as in the first half
Albinoleffe wasted a very good chance with Gorini who very close to the
goal line kicked the ball on Manitta, allowing him to make an excellent save.
However, the most important championship for the Azzurri starts now, the one
that will see the club fighting against the financial troubles, against the
bankruptcy, against the possible flight of his players. The survival
championship starts now!
