Napoli’s journey in the Champions League so far on the pitch has been exciting, at an environmental level also marked by intense attention to public order. The story continues in the round of 16 against Eintracht Frankfurt who published a statement on their official website in which they warned their fans about the away match in Naples. The first leg will be played in Frankfurt on 21 February, the return to Naples on 15 March and the city will have to manage the flow of a very passionate fan base, which experiences the European away matches with great participation.
The recommendations
Thirty thousand fans of Eintracht Frankfurt moved to Barcelona for the second leg of the quarter-finals of the last Europa League. A delegation from the German club was in Naples last week to collect the first information regarding public order and thus warned its supporters: The Italian authorities will inform on how to reach the stadium, a meeting point will be designated where the Eintracht fans will be able to gather in the afternoon. You will reach the stadium with several buses, you cannot do it individually. Eintracht Frankfurt advises against wearing fan clothes and staying in Naples in the days before or after the match. Tickets will likely go on sale from the end of January, it is strongly discouraged to travel to Naples without a coupon for the game. Not the first time that there have been these press releases on the eve of a Champions League match, it also happened before the matches against Liverpool and Ajax. Concerns which in any case proved to be well founded because there were clashes especially in the parts of via Marina and via Medina. Supporters of Glasgow Rangers were forbidden from traveling on the principle of reciprocity because in the outward leg due to public order, with the police forces engaged in demonstrations for the disappearance of Queen Elizabeth II, the away sector that was supposed to host was ordered to close Napoli fans.
Twinned with those of Atalanta
From the point of view of public order it feeds the attention of the authorities and the forces of order the twinning that links the fans of the German club with those of Atalanta. A solid relationship, which began in 1999, which has had several demonstrations of affection over the years. In the last Europa League final, won by Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties against Glasgow Rangers, many Bergamo supporters went to Seville to support the German ultras. In the meantime, Napoli is working to prepare for the double friendly at Maradona against Villarreal and Lille. Demme is back in the group and will be available again for Saturday night’s match, Rrahmani and Sirigu worked separately respectively on the field and in the gym. Rrahmani could return at least for a segment in Wednesday’s match against Lille, a fundamental step to be available to Spalletti on January 4 against Inter. The horizon that in everyone’s thoughts in this December so anomalous due to the World Cup is a transitory phase, of preparation in view of 2023.
