Description
Napoli may be 13 points ahead in the Serie A standings, but although their Scudetto dreams are very much in reach with less than half the season to go, their loyal fans are wary of holding premature celebrations. "We're superstitious in Naples, so we won't acknowledge it yet," says one supporter, while another tells AFP, "you should never say that the scudetto is already on the shirt; you just don't." Napoli have won the league just twice, both times in the 1980s with Diego Maradona guiding them to victory. One fan describes the "pleasure" he had seeing the legend play, and the "unique" moment he returned home to see his city had won the Serie A under the talisman.
