In Naples they sell Napoli jerseys with De Light #4 on the back.

Exactly why Italian football is so shit.

It does not have the financial muscle to compete with EPL. Look at Roma for example, they actually had a pretty decent team last year which was torn apart through sales.

IMO, Serie A needs a AC Milan and Inter Milan to become good again. This in the long run will benefit everybody and motivate our players especially. I get the feeling our players themselves are getting bored.

It's not only about money. I posted yesterday that Juve has a higher wage bill than Ajax and Spurs combined. The mentality of football in Italy is awful. Shit stadiums, with a few exceptions, ancient tactics, terrible image with racism, etc. EPL success has come with a good generation of new talent too. Who are the Italian equivalents for Sterling, Alli, Kane and Sancho

You'll see the Inter version of that next week when we play Inter in San Siro.

All true, but Serie A has only "one rich team" and that team clearly lacks domestic competition. I even think the lack of competition destroyed Bayern Munich in the long run. The Spanish have been the best because it has just the right amount of competition to keep their best teams competitive (Real, Barcelona and A.Madrid) without it being too competitive. The EPL has actually suffered since the turn of this decade because it became too competitive. But too competitive is better than no competition alone.

It was a great EL season for Frankfurt, but sadly the EPL giants are going to be too much to handle for them.

I expect a complete destruction.
