Napoli supporters energized their team with an impressive tifo display before their Serie A match against Fiorentina. The fans unveiled a two-word message in the Neapolitan dialect to inspire the players.
Coach Antonio Conte’s team was aiming to break a five-game winless streak and close the gap to league leaders Inter Milan to just one point.
Playing at home in a packed Stadio Maradona on Sunday, the Napoli fans ensured their players felt their unwavering support from the moment they stepped onto the pitch.
Napoli Tifo: A Message of Heart and Soul
The Napoli faithful presented a breathtaking tifo prior to the game’s kickoff. It featured two words that might not be familiar to all English-speaking fans of Italian football.
Across the Curva, the word ‘anema’ was displayed, and in another section, the word ‘core’ was visible. These Neapolitan dialect words translate to “heart and soul” in English.
It appeared Antonio Conte’s players took the fans’ message to heart, as Romelu Lukaku scored the opening goal in the 26th minute of the match.
