Dossena talks about Villarreal‑Napoli and unveils his project today
Andrea Dossena, former right‑back of the Italian national team, spoke in the A‑A+ press about a match between Villarreal and Napoli that he knows very well, during an interview given to La Repubblica today at the newsstand. The memory of the match was recounted in minute detail, with some passages reported by the newspaper.
Memories of the European clash
Dossena recalled that the clash with Villarreal was almost a routine in the Europa League. “We wanted to erase the elimination from the previous year, when I was struck by a great Borja Valero, and we succeeded. It was a great moment,” he said.
He then described the city: “Villarreal has about 100 000 inhabitants, the stadium holds 40 000. Almost one in two citizens follows the home games of the Yellow Submarine. There is a huge passion and we felt it all.”

Currently Dossena is a coach. After the stint at Novara in Serie C, where he secured survival, he decided not to continue and now is looking for a new challenge. “I go around watching many matches, when possible,” he explained.
His bond with Napoli remains strong: “I was at the Maradona for the Napoli Legends matches last May 26. Playing again in that stadium is something unique.”
