This is where I come from.
And I went right before COVID, I went on a boys trip with two friends of mine to Buenos Aires.
And they said, I want to witness one time Boca Juniors River Plate at La Bombonera.
That was on my bucket list.
And so I went down there and then we walked through the neighborhood Boca and every second house is blue and yellow.
Every third house is Maradona and it's a rough neighborhood.
And so I understood, okay, you know, this is Napoli in a different way.
And then, yeah, he became a child of the Napolitanians and their culture.
And then when he brought the first title to them,
He will be forever God.
There is his God.
But he could not go out of the house.
If he goes just out to the corridor, there are 100 people waiting for him.
He could not go to a restaurant.
He could not have an espresso in a bar.
Like all the northern Italians in Torino and Milano, we could come or we could go and have a nice coffee.
Players, they'd never have a problem.
They maybe wanted to have an autograph here and there, but they leave you alone.
Not in Napoli.
You belong to them.
