Bruscolotti’s heartfelt tribute at Napoli’s centenary

Peppe Bruscolotti declared that the blue Napoli shirt will forever live in his heart, a sentiment he voiced during the club’s centenary celebrations, marking the most emotional day of his life. The former captain’s words captured the deep bond he feels with the team and its supporters.

Speaking at the festivities, Bruscolotti said, "Anyone who knows me knows this is the most emotional day for me because if there is a bond between Napoli fans, Napoli and this city, it is Peppe Bruscolotti." His statement highlighted the personal connection he shares with the club’s history and the city of Naples.

He added, "For me the blue shirt will always be in my heart," underscoring his lifelong devotion to Napoli’s iconic colour. The ex‑captain also praised the supporters, noting that "the love for this shirt is infinite because the blue people are capable of everything."

Bruscolotti praised Napoli’s recent rise, observing that "a Napoli that is always at the top is not something small, so it means Napoli has reached certain levels and still lacks a little to settle a bit at European level." He emphasized that the Champions League holds a distinct allure and that the club must bridge the final gap to compete consistently on that stage.

Reflecting on last season’s European experience, he said, "Certainly, last year it went as it went so I hope they have learned from that situation; it’s better not to talk about it and it’s nice when there is a repeat because football then puts you again in another test, and therefore it’s up to them this year to make a Champions League as champions."
