I will always have a strong affection for them and if you really have to lose then at least they are happy. But of course, I would be really happy if they could resolve their problem next week. I owe this team a lot. One always tries to extract themselves from everyone and everything. But for me, Napoli holds a special place in my heart for my career.”
