WHY Napoli made us believe in football again | From bankruptcy to Serie A winners 

Can we just appreciate how incredible the content that DW Kick Off! make is? Always world class and each video is a joy to watch

3 Italian clubs in the ucl quarter finals truly makes me believe that serie a is finally back

I am a Bologna supporter, l think 3-4 years ago Napoli had more famous players and a possible Victory wouldn't have been a miracle. The MIRACLE is this year! Because they didn't spend TOO MUCH money, they built team with great INTELLIGENCE and they played GREAT, with the RIGHT players in every field-position. Naples should be an EXAMPLE for everyone, it's still possible to win without spending too much, in 2023.

It's almost criminal how little this video talked about Kim. He's also one of the aces on the team, along with Osimhen and Kvar. Need to put more respect on his name. The local fans surely do. Either way, it'll be interesting to see which players will be staying with Napoli after this season. It'd be cool to see them all stay and go for round two next season.

To think that they couldn't win the scudetto with Hamsik, Koulibaly, Mertens, Insigne and Higuain is mad 😮 congrats to the class of 2023 👏

Calling Napoli a "Cinderella of Italian Football" seems a bit outrageous. In the last 10 years Napoli have always been in the top 4 places of the Serie A Ranking. It is a glorious achievement after 33 years, true, but it should not come as a surprise.

What's quite ironic is that almost a year after the great maradona passed on, 2 of his life long desires (Argentina winning the world cup & Napoli winning the scudetto) have been achieved....it all comes full circle and in the end there is a silver lining (or a smile) in the sky: probably maradona (The once acclaimed God of football) smiling down at us watching the beautiful game he once adored. The kind of stuff immortals are made of.

I'm not a tifoso of Napoli, but I'm so happy to see them winning the Serie A title this season. They've been a tough competitor during the last few seasons and this year is finally their year. Saluti!!

Congratulations from Ukraine 🇺🇦 Forza Napoli!!! 🏆

I have been a Napoli fan since the days of Maradona.Congrats to Napoli for being crowned Champions of Italy.. U deserve it 🙏👍⚽

I LOVE NAPLES!! Best city in Italy and now 3rd time Champions!!

Don't forget Lobotka. He was amazing

¡Forza Napoli Campeón de Italia! 💙🇮🇹⚽🇦🇷!

I am not a Napoli fan but I can assure everyone that here i n Italy ,let alone the northern italian fans, we are all happy for napoli ,this victory we all hope that can help to change the script we have in serie A in which the winners are always the same 2 or 3 teams , because of their money and mostly bcs of their political influence . we all hope something is going to change , and the investigation against juventus for fraud can be a sign , and from now on many other teams can start joining the race to the serie A titles .

Diego played for Napoli for years although he could have played for much better teams and earned much more. The current players will all go to the biggest clubs in Europe with the most money. No one comes close to the legend status of Maradona in Naples. He lived what the city is all about.

Well done Napoli. From Celtic FC

Everyone is trying to know more about Napoli, because of success in football. I ❤their passion

well done, Napoli! 🏆🏆🏆

Love how much hate Napoli receives in Italy and how much love it receives from other countries. Forza Napoli Sempre

Aguante Napoli!!! saludos desde argentina!!

I wish Diego was here to see this. Napoli Torna Campione!!!!!!

So happy for Napoli. I really felt like Arsenal was the premier league version of what those guys are doing in Italy.. Unfortunately we didn’t achieve it in the end 😢😢 I was cheering for Napoli to win the Champions league too.

Whoever picked the soundtrack did an excellent job! Nu Genea...James Sanese e Napoli Centrale...well done!

Argentina ama al Napoli!!!!!!

I was expecting to hear one name among the heroes of Napoli this year. His name is Kim Min Jai. He deserves to be mentioned more than anybody else.

It's not a miracle. Napoli has already won 2 titles in the past and a UEFA cup and has been among the top 3 in the Italian championship for 10 years, always playing in Europe. So it's not a miracle (for example like Leicester a few years ago). This is the culmination of a long construction process. Napoli has been a very strong team for at least 10 years. Forza Napoli Sempre! ❤

Napoli wasn't , isn't and it's not going to be a new Leicester (with all due respect to them). We have got 7 top 3 placement in 10 years, 1 scudetto now, 3 italy cups and one supercup. 15 years in a row in Europe, and Uefa ranking position between 11 and 20. Second italian team of the decade. And right now we have the best team, and some of the best financial current situation. I believe we are going to win some more scudettos in the next 3 years

This makes me so wanna go see Napoli play at home stadium

Happy for the team , the coach and the fans . All true fighters . NAPOLI is the new SerIa A CHAMPION for many years coming. 💙💙💙

Forza Napoli! I moved here at the right time the atmosphere is incredible right now

As romanisti i'd like to said congrats to ssc napoli and i admire that spalleti achieved with ssc napoli this year,,,👍👍

Grazie Napoli !! 👏🏾👏🏾

Man I wasn't surprised to know when Napoli signed Osimhen. This dude was actually a beast back in Football Manager 2018!

El Napoli es un gran equipo, el juego de conjunto que han logrado es digno de admirarse. En México estamos felices por Hirving Lozano, porque también él hizo un gran trabajo. Gracias DW por un reportaje tan interesante y bien realizado.

Great coverage! I don't watch much European football, but I'm glad I learned a lot about Napoli and the Serie A rivalry. It's always great to see different teams compete and win the league. It is what makes football so enjoyable.

One thing is repeatedly reported wrong about Napoli's history, and Italian football in general, it's when they say it is a poor city and poor club that surprisingly bought Diego Armando Maradona to win. Napoli had already tried to win the title in the past, sometimes breaking the world record of the biggest purchase in football history (i.e., Jeppson in 1952, Savoldi in 1975). How? The club has been often one of the richest in Italy, especially when most of a club income came from tickets sales. They never managed to win before Maradona, but it's not always been down to economic power. The repeated scandals of Italian football may give a clue on what other type of power was decisive. For those who don't have any idea, since 1949 Napoli is the only club who has won 3 scudetto besides Juventus, Inter and Milan. It's not just the South that never wins, it's the whole of Italy besides those three clubs. Also, the emphasis given in this video on the role played by politics is misleading. It is true that in order to buy Maradona, the president Ferlaino asked 'Banco di Napoli' to provide the liquidity, but he offered his own assets as guarantee. The 'Banco di Napoli' was publicly owned, like many other companies and institutions in Italy at that time, and of course it's hard to believe that such an operation could have happened without the approval of the politics. But this was no different in any other part of Italy. Most Italian entrepreneurs, big or small, have always relied on the support of the politics to run their businesses. With the banking system owned by the public, no entrepreneur was able to access finances without the political support. Most Italian private companies relied on political support to supply goods and services to public institutions and companies, have authorisations granted, laws adjusted, subsidies, etc. Ferlaino, like Berlusconi in Milan, started as a developer. He already had the relationship with the political system without having to witness the success of Roma and copy that model (like journalist Corbo says in this video). Another thing is wrongly worded by Corbo is that "...Tangentopoli stroke in Naples". In fact, the centre of the political and corruption scandal called "Tangentopoli" was Milan.

GOOD SQUAD , GREAT MANAGER I.E SPALETTI

Napoli is my number one team like this.

Wow. The city must be so proud. 👏

Whilst there has been no love lost between Napoli & most of the northern Italian clubs, I do notice a mutual respect between them & Fiorentina. Fiorentina have been through exactly the same as them and even a few weeks ago gave them a very classy guard of honour. Even heard that the Fiorentina fans applauded in the stands. You often hear fights break out between Napoli fans against let’s say Inter Milan, Juventus, Lazio or Roma fans. However, never heard of fights between Napoli & Fiorentina fans.

This is a BRILLIANT video, grazie mille from San Francisco, California!!! I AM the number one supporter here, I am over the moon about this victory, it has been a long time coming. Forza Napoli!!

Complimenti per il video!! Grazie e forza napoli sempre 💙💙💙💙 un abbraccio da napoli

Forza Napoli Sempre 💙

From Napoli supporter: great video, thanks a lot. On the technical point we cannot say one player over the others, honestly everybody contributed in his role a lot and it was a real lovely concert. Of course, the forward Osimenh, Kvara, were more on the stage but in the midfield Lobotka was so important to tune the music and in the rear side Di Lorenzo, Kim and the goalkeeper Alex Meret was faboulous....but all players were great...I will never forget the goals of Raspadori against Spezia and Juventus (both in the extra time) or Politano and Lozano running and running , of the giant Anguissa....and Rrahamni....its was a real tem victory...they are in our hearts forever 💙💙💙

DW Kick Off is always worth watching. Great job guys!

What a fantastic insight into the club & Napoli. Absolute perfection!! Great job Guys ❤

Forza Napoli Sempre 🍾 💙💙

That was a fantastic presentation! I wish to learn Italian.

Wow! This is a cinema-worthy documentary!

DW kick off video are so spectacular. I was watching it like season film. I love all your documentary. Am subscribing now. Congratulations to Napoli from Nigeria 🇳🇬

loved the content and presentation ❤

Grazie a te che hai fatto questo video. Forza Napoli sempre.

Congratulations Napoli - Maradona would be very proud of all of you🎉🎉🎉

As a Milan fan I'm glad that Napoli won. They have been consistently good for the past decade and were the only real opposition to Juventus dominance for a while. This is the culmination of years of hard work. They showed that in football it is still possible for an outsider to win without insane amounts of money or unsustainable debts

First of all, congrats for the contents of this video. Then, as Maurizio De Giovanni said in this video, this Scudetto is the result of a long term planning started 19 years ago. Considering the last 10 years Italian in Serie A Championship, Napoli is the second team in terms of point scored: this means that's a very well job done in all these years. For that reason, in my opinion, better is yet to come. Forza Napoli Sempre! 💙💙💙

Awesome video. Great to see Napoli on top again. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations guys celebrate in peace its best league trophy for this year

I wish I was around this much passionate people seems like everyone has their own things going on can't ever just praise one thing together.

One thing I admire about Napoli's matches is their team spirit. Kudos to the coach for his sportsmanship spirit inherently infused as practised by the footballers. I appreciate the efforts of Di Lorenzo who superheaded the team; Osihmen for his spectacular touches that so far produced the most goals of the season; the powerful "K.K.77" for his tremendous inputs especially, in creating avenues for goals to be scored ɓy Osihmen, others and himself inclusive; our own Kim for keeping an eagle's eye on their opponents especially the strikers; Anguissa and others whose performances are extremely valuable. Thanks for the success teamly achieved.

Fantastic documentary, well done DW!!!

NAPOLI Team presenting us Pure Honest Man games with Dignity of the Old Classic Football

Forza Napoli , da noi palermitani ….e forza Palermo 💗🖤👍

​@dwkickoff This video put tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my arms. Excellent editing and delivery with that mixture of comedy. Well done 👏 👏 Off to a hunt for more of your videos 😅

Napoli the Italian Champions is the proof that football is not just to succeed with money but with low cost to invest in young talented players who have played with a spectacular game at high level like the strongest and richest European teams. Well done SSC Napoli 💙

Grazie per il video, un abbraccio forte da un tifoso del Napoli. Vi aspettiamo così festeggiamo insieme 💙💙

Big congratulations 🏆

Grazie ---- thank you ...exstraordinary documentary !

I only came here because of the presenter period!!!

Great content DW 👍🇮🇹

Awesome video, grazie!!

Great reporting, Greetings from GUATEMALA! =D

Wait, are you telling me Napoli halved their expenditure, and ended up winning one season later?

Man you did such an incredibile job. Precise informations, interviews, and magnificent shots at the city made this content so pleasnt to Watch, i thank you from my Heart.

From a AS Roma. Bravo !

Using Nu Genea's songs was a class decision, they are the best Naples has to offer musically today.

Nice Documentary!

No need to give credit to any specific players they all played well as a team and won the title

Congratulations Napoli 👏 truly amazing achievement. Great content and presentation DW. Kudos..

Nice Video and Forza Napoli semp semp ☝️ 💙

Wow great video & Napoli what a tradition.

Greetings from Canada! Excellent documentary! Forza Napoli!

great content! (from a Napoli fan) and I totally agree on what the two women say about 2018. that scudetto was ours, and all of italy aside from juventus fans will state we deserved it the most. it was stolen from Sarri and Napoli by a series of referees' "mistakes" favouring, guess who? juventus. as usual. I'll be happy to see them out of Champions League because of fraud in a week. They deserve Serie B again.

Excellent..... congratulations

Thanks! 💙 FORZA NAPOLI SEMPRE

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the production quality and good engagement in this video. Well done.

Good job indeed. As for the author's question at the end of the report, well... I hope the future will be much different than the downfall after the Eighties' wins. Economical stability is a major asset, and also Naples supporters attitude is more tempered and balanced than it used to be in the past. Let's hope for the best.

Napoli is a lovely and crazy at the same time,a city full of contradiction. Love the people and the food ❤❤

Grande kvara grande napoli!!!

Everything about Napoli and its love affair with Football and Maradona is a beautiful thing to see. I am so happy for them. Argentina wins the World Cup, Napoli wins the Scudetto. Life is good as a Napoli man

what a beautiful homage and breakdown of the modern history of napoli. From a Mexican thank you so much for treating chucky so well and hopefully napoli keeps the winning streak going.

Great video

Well deserved. Hope they can be sustainable going forward. One other thing is the financial planning was exceptional 👏👏👏. Well done. From a Juve supporter. 🍀

Its a pity that Maradona didn't live long enough to see this happen.

From Juventus Dominating The League Now They Have Three Different Champions In The Past 3 Years From Group Stage Specialty To Having Each 2 Representative Club In UCL And Europa League Semi Final This Year. Serie A Is Back.

Amazing video. Thanks!

After watching this documentary, I feel like to visit Naples
