Napoli, sky-high enthusiasm for the first appearance in Castel di Sangro: sold out at the Municipal, team already in great shape

CASTEL DI SANGRO – The Municipal Stadium is sold out today for Napoli's first appearance in the second phase of the summer retreat, after the Dimaro break. The Neapolitan fans have flocked in large numbers to watch the team's first training session under the watchful eyes of the entire technical staff. The atmosphere? Very hot, almost like an official match.

The team responded with an intense session, very high rhythms and an energy that made them forget the workload of the previous phase. Anguissa and Mazzocchi are already shining, looking brilliant and ready for the season. De Bruyne, is still in the running-in phase from a physical point of view, but every touch of the ball has drawn applause: pure class.

Conte was directing the orchestra, who never stopped giving instructions to his men. The offensive and defensive phases were tested with a synchrony that surprised for being only the first day: more than a training session, it seemed like a dance studied in detail.

A small shiver ran through the stadium halfway through the session when Mathías Olivera collapsed to the ground after a clash. The medical staff intervened promptly and the full-back left the field as a precaution. His condition will be monitored in the coming hours.

Special mention for the show within the show: the goalkeepers' training. Milinković-Savić and Meret took turns in spectacular saves, between feline reflexes and plastic dives. Seeing them live was a pleasure for the fans' eyes.

The atmosphere around the team is that of the big days. The environment strongly believes in a season that can bring Napoli back to the top, and the air that is breathed in Castel di Sangro is the confirmation.

On leaving the stadium, the fans poured into the food area of the Fan Village, among sandwiches, cold beers and a lot of enthusiasm. To further color the festive atmosphere, some very special blue flags... solar in every sense. Thanks to the Campania company SGA Service, a leader in the photovoltaic sector, which previewed its photovoltaic panels colored Napoli blue: a perfect combination of clean energy and sporting passion.

In short, the retreat has started in the best way. Napoli is here. And its people, as always, are already ready to follow it everywhere.
