Napoli President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has slammed the Lega Serie A officials for handing his team a tough fixture schedule around the UEFA Champions League matches.
Laurentiis furiously left the hall during the fixture unveiling ceremony of the 2011/12 Serie A and insisted that they had intentionally planned it against his team. After the opening fixtures revealed by the computer, Laurentiis
lost his cool and stormed the officials with controversial words. The Patron threatened them to take to the court and insisted that everything was pre-planned against his team.
“I am ashamed to be Italian! I’m going back to cinema. It’s all been mapped out against us. Enough is enough; I’m going back to cinema. I’m ashamed to be Italian! I want to change citizenship!”
Napoli will start the campaign against Genoa on August 28th, 2011, while they will take on Italian Champions, A.C Milan in the third week of the campaign. The game against Milan will be just four days after their first
UEFA Champions League game in 21 years.
The Azzurri will take on other heavy weights, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, just three days after their second group stage game of the Champions League. Laurentiis is gutted with the draws and believes that powers in the Italian authority want
his team to be separated from the elites of the game.
The President believes that this is not the first time that his team have been treated like this and the governing body has done this in the past too. Laurentiis reflected on the incident when his team was relegated to the Serie
C after bankruptcy allegations.
Laurentiis has threatened to leave his charge at the club and believes that these type of activities will harm the Italian football. The chief has pleaded the international governing bodies to take action of this matter and believes
that the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) members should be punished for their double standards.
Napoli might be handed a hefty fine for this behaviour from the President, as the Italian Federation have called an investigation committee on the matter.
