As the conclusion of the Serie A season approaches, Napoli has adopted a unique strategy for achieving success on the field by providing their players’ girlfriends and wives with lessons on keeping their partners satisfied.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Jacqueline De Laurentiis, who is both the wife of Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and a vice-president of the club, organized a lunch for all the players’ wives and girlfriends to instruct them on how to conduct themselves.
At the top of their guidance was the recommendation to steer clear of disputes.
Each woman received a document, translated into her native language to assist the partners of the club’s international players, outlining her responsibilities towards her partner.
The women were advised, “Great players achieve greatness when they believe they are great, particularly in their minds; ensure your partner always feels this way.”
“We’re relying on you for these remaining five matches of the season…prevent unnecessary family stress.”
To facilitate the delivery of these somewhat old-fashioned instructions, the women enjoyed a meal at the luxurious Donn’Anna Palace in Naples.
With five matches left, Napoli is currently positioned second in Serie A, trailing leaders AC Milan by six points, making it unlikely for them to finish first this season.
The more pressing objective is to maintain a top-three standing to secure direct qualification for the UEFA Champions League group stage next season.
Napoli is in a strong position for this, as they are currently five points ahead of fourth-placed Lazio.
Buford Balony says: This is something all women should partake in.
