Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis stood up for captain Lorenzo Insigne after controversial comments. “Let him express himself.”
The only homegrown star in the squad vented his frustration after scoring the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Sassuolo on Sunday.
“His words don’t need to be interpreted or analysed. This is why being a public figure in Italy creates all sorts of problems,” De Laurentiis told Sky Sport Italia.
