Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis admits 'Juventus are hard to beat, they are too economically stable'.
The Partenopei emerged as the Bianconeri's most serious rival in Serie A alongside Roma over the last few years, but so far they haven't been able to break the stranglehold of the champions.
“It's hard to beat Juve because of their great economic stability,” he told Monaco Hebdo. “They can spend three times as much as we do, while I had to start from scratch with Napoli.

The Partenopei emerged as the Bianconeri's most serious rival in Serie A alongside Roma over the last few years, but so far they haven't been able to break the stranglehold of the champions.

“There are many things to be done, starting from the stadium, which is handed over to me one day before the match.
“The municipality, who own the property, haven't done any works there in 40 years.”
De Laurentiis was then asked about the unusual contracts that he asked his players to sign.
“It's true, I make contracts of up to 120 pages. I don't care about the way things have been done in the past, I think that everything can be changed.
“I wouldn't buy a player who won't let me have all of his image rights. I do the same thing with actors. Some people think I'm crazy.
“[Ezequiel] Lavezzi and [Edinson] Cavani? I have no regrets. I sold the former for €33m and the latter for €65m, I think it was a good deal.”
