"The goal at Inter at Maradona was one of the most beautiful emotions that can happen. It was very nice and extraordinary. Clementino and I have known each other since we were little, we watched Napoli games together and he was one of the first to call me after the goal." This is what Napoli midfielder Gianluca Gaetano tells about it who, on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, talks about his first goal in the blue shirt at Maradona against the Nerazzurri and friendship with the singer.
The 23-year-old Neapolitan managed to carve out a few minutes in ten league and cup games and showed on the field the confidence that the coach Spalletti and the ds Giuntoli have in him: "Giuntoli knows all the sacrifices - said Gaetano - that I made. I always trained at a thousand per hour, I was waiting for my moment but I was always there ready and in the end even the club was happy after watching me grow. I made my debut at 17-18 years old, everyone was happy, even the physiotherapists. From Spalletti I heard some nice words about me and from the coach he is always pleased, it was an extraordinary journey. Then becoming champion of Italy with Napoli is not for everyone" "For the future - he adds - I want to stay in Naples, score many goals and take away satisfaction, maybe other championships. But let's see, there are so many things to fix."
On the Scudetto won 5 days in advance, Gaetano expresses his "joy": "This year - he said - it was a nice discovery how the team works, we too realized our potential. We fought in every game and the Scudetto arrived. Now there is no shortage of motivation with new records to beat such as points at the end of the championship. These things are also important to us. With Inter it was a fascinating game and we played a great game."
