For the Sake of the Late Maradona, Napoli Won a Landslide Victory over Lazio

DBasia.news – The figure of Diego Armando Maradona has an important role behind Napoli’s landslide victory over Lazio in the 2021-2022 Serie A continuation. Il Partenopei appear crazy to pay homage to the legend who died one year ago.

In the match that took place at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Monday (29/11), Napoli beat Lazio with a score of 4-0. This victory confirmed the position of Luciano Spalletti’s team at the top of the standings.

The match against Lazio was used by Napoli to commemorate the one year anniversary of the death of Maradona. The Argentinian man breathed his last on November 25, 2020.

Before the game, Napoli unveiled a statue of Maradona. The home players also wore special jerseys with Maradona’s face print for this match.

As if to give a gift to Maradona, Napoli appeared aggressive from the start of the match. Piotr Zielinski was able to break the deadlock when the game had only been running for seven minutes.

Dires Mertens then scored two goals to close the first half with the score 3-0. Fabian Ruiz then completed the hosts’ victory five minutes before the end of normal time.

“We want to remember Diego (Maradona) with a great performance, it means a lot to us that we respect him tonight,” Lorenzo Insigne told DAZN after the game.

“I asked to turn on the television and watch everything (Maradona’s memorial program). But they told me to stay focused in the dressing room, so I’ll watch it later.” The victory over Lazio further confirms Napoli’s status as a serious challenger to the Scudetto this season. Maradona can increase the motivation of Insigne and his friends to win the title at the end of the competition.
