Naples in Turkey – organizational difficulties, last minute deals: that’s why
Napoli will go to Turkey from 1 December, they will also play two friendlies with Antalyasport and Crystal Palace.
Spalletti’s team will be the protagonist during the Regnum Winter Football Series. The departure for Turkey was in the balance until the last moment, given that there were some important organizational difficulties.
According to Il Mattino, the most serious problem was represented by the pitches that will host the Azzurri and five other clubs. To verify the conditions of the turf, the blue club sent one of its trusted agronomists for an inspection. Having land in perfect condition is essential to avoid physical problems, which Napoli wants to avoid at all costs.
