El Kadouri: “I learned a lot at Napoli – Even in Greece they supported her”

In its most glorious days for 33 years, the Napleswhich after an amazing course also won the title in mathematics Serie A for the first time since 1990.

One of the players in Greece who have worn the Napoli jersey is Omar El Kaduri. The PAOK midfielder had played for the “Partenopei” from 2012 to 2017, although two of those years he went on loan to Turin.

The Moroccan spoke to an Italian media both about this year’s course of the Neapolitans, as well as about his own term in the team and the experiences he gained there.

In detail what he said:

For this year’s title: “This league belongs to all football fans. Even here, in Greece they supported Napoli. I am very happy because this is a victory for the entire Italian south. I want to dwell on Lobotka’s season, it was excellent. I had seen him while he was playing at Telta, I knew he was good, although he had faced some difficulties. As for Spalletti, it was known that he is a very good coach, who unfortunately had not won Italy. But in those two years he did a great job with Napoli, he played great football and I think he deserved the championship.”

On his memories of Napoli: “In Napoli I learned a lot from football players and coaches. I would have liked to have played more, but when I got on the pitch I gave everything. Wearing this shirt is an honor, not everyone gets to play at such a big club. It’s a team that will stay in my heart forever.”

On his biggest disappointment since his tenure with the team: “Sari’s first year we started very badly, then we found a rhythm and finally finished second. It’s a shame, because we could have tried to win the league. My greatest joy was my debut in San Paolo, against Pescara.”

On the future of Napoli: “The next step for Napoli is to improve their presence in Europe. This year it did really well, I was hoping they would go further. However, he met Milan at the worst possible time, in a period of decline. He must try to get as far as possible. When I played in Napoli, we competed in the Europa League. Then we prioritized the championship.”

In the end, he did not fail to mention an incident that he will remember forever: “The first time my mother came to Naples, we went to a store to buy gifts. When I left the store, 50 people were waiting for me to take pictures and ask for my autograph. There he was shocked. He told me “this is the last time I’m coming down town with you”. She had never experienced anything like it, I told her that this is the beauty of the city. I saw the fans’ celebrations for the championship and I showed them to my teammates at PAOK”.
