Napoli continues to prove week after week: the hype surrounding Europe's most exciting team is justified, and real.
Last night (Tuesday) after the 0:2 away victory over Eintracht Frankfurt (Ossiman and Di Lorenzo scored) which gave Frantenupi a significant advance towards their first ever qualification for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, even the commentators already understand that the team needs to be taken seriously.
"We proved that we deserve the status. I'm happy, I'm not smiling either," said coach Lucitano Spalletti at the end.
After six wins in seven games in the Champions League this season, and with the good record of conquests in the factory, Spalletti allows herself to release a statement to the rest of the continent.
"We played an excellent game, and we proved that there is no reason to underestimate us. They said that we play the best football on the continent only because we play in the Italian league, but tonight Frankfurt was the one that played in an 'Italian' style, and mainly defended. This game proved that it is time to get rid of the clichés about Italian football The defensive."

Giovanni Di Lorenzo, the scorer of Napoli's second goal which came after a brilliant team move and a wonderful cook by the hot Habicha Cabrezadalia, said that "this move is not accidental. We work on it in training, and today we executed it perfectly".
He added: "We knew it would be a tough game against a very physical and swimming opponent. We knew we had to be careful of their explosive attacks. We were a little tense at the beginning of the game, but later on we showed our quality, and we won."
The one who stood in the center of attention of the commentators was Habicha Kabrazdalia, who continues to be the hit of the continent this season.
The 22-year-old Georgian admittedly missed a penalty, but he displayed wonderful ability and was, as mentioned, signed to a great cook.
He became the youngest player in the Champions League this season to be directly responsible for 5 or more goals (in possessions or assists).
"I think he is the most exciting player in Europe right now. One can only imagine what he will look like at Real Madrid next season," said G.
