2 championships in 3 years! When Naples champion memory meets Conte s champion aesthetics

Even on the sidelines, Lukaku still tries to play the role of leader. The game has entered stoppage time, and local players such as Spinazola and Politano have already fallen into a carnival, and the "Little Warcraft" is still trying to calm down their teammates. In a post-match interview, he revealed the reason for doing this: "In 1999, I watched the final between Manchester United and Bayern..." But Napoli is not the Camp Nou. At this moment, the song "The Leader Goes Away" resounded throughout the Maradona Stadium. Superstition no longer took effect, calmness no longer made sense, and the image of Christ in the chapel of San Severo was removed. The final whistle sounded, the blue Naples fell into a carnival, the red fireworks illuminated the night sky, and reflected in the waves of the bay. Lukaku, Conte and Oriari hugged each other tightly: from 2021 to 2025, they won the championship again, but this time Inter Milan's identity became an opponent. At the press conference before the game, Conte said that the league championship is often the most worthy team, and seemed to imply that the former club Inter Milan's success in the Cup was accidental, which naturally attracted a lot of criticism and made him an enemy of the Blue and Black World. However, in the face of the current victory, the past love and the distant hostility do not seem to be important to him at all.

70-year-old Naplescu manager Tomaso Starache greeted Diego Maradona's statue, and joined the celebratory team of the stadium with a moka pot. He came to the sidelines as usual to pour a cup of coffee for the old acquaintance Ferrara, who served as a commentator. Tomaso, the old man, was born in 1955. He entered Naples at the age of 22 and completely experienced the team's four Serie A championships. He saw Maradona play football, accompanied the team to compete in Serie B and Serie C, became friends with Mertens, and witnessed McTomina's violent aesthetics when he was in his 70s. For him, which scene is the sweetest and which scene is the deepest?

Diego's soul may indeed be protecting Naples - this team has won two championships in three years, and its efficiency in winning the cup alone is even better than the team led by player Diego. The Napoli players also talked about the emotional comparison of winning the championship after the game: in the 2022-23 season, they were ahead of the league, but the moment of crowning did not happen at Maradona Stadium (Salendana equalized the score in the 85th minute), but in the distant Udinette; in the 2024-25 season, Napoli may not be as strong, beautiful and devastating as they were two years ago, but the suspense lasted until the last moment, which means stronger emotional tension.

This time, it no longer takes 33 years of long wait, but it still has a severe emotional impact. The Naples finally understand: what is really sweet is not waiting, but the champion itself.
