Agent: Politano Is Tired of Always Being Made Napoli's Scapegoat, and So Am I

Matteo Politano's agent Giuffredi defended his client during an interview with Radio Napoli Centrale.

Politano has often been criticized for poor performances at the start of this season. “Politano is tired of always being treated as the scapegoat for all of Napoli's problems, and so am I. These players of mine have won two Serie A titles, the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup. You cannot so easily put people on trial like this. It is unfair not only to Politano, but to everyone. Maybe people have forgotten what they have done for Napoli over the years. I want to remind everyone that last year Napoli were heavily beaten in the Champions League. I saw a premeditated campaign against the coach and the team.”

“But my players are resilient. Di Lorenzo, Anguissa, Rrahmani and Olivera are all very strong players. When they are gone, we will realize that. For example, Mario Rui was also criticized and questioned in the past. Today I want to ask you a question: Do you still want to see Mario Rui at Napoli? When he was at the club, people even spat at him. When these players are no longer there, Napoli will have a very difficult time. These are tough players and also good people. They should not be attacked without reason by so-called industry insiders.”
