Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis took charge of the post-match media conference after their 0-0 draw with Monza.

De Laurentiis has declared himself responsible after their first-half of the season.

“I hope 2024 brings health and makes you fulfil your dreams," he said.

“I wanted to see you and say that everything that happened until today is just my responsibility. So, all the blame is on me and I take all the responsibility. I must apologise to all Neopolitans and most importantly to all the fans for our position in the table.

“However, the season is long and we'll move on the market to make up for what has happened," ADL continued.

“The truth has more faces, but I don't want to annoy you now. When I'm back from the Supercoppa, we could meet at Palazzo Petrucci, have a nice dinner together and I'll tell you my point of view.

“I understand you have pages to fill up, radio stations and TVs with great pundits where everyone says his opinion. However, fans must be protected and know the truth, and only those inside know it. This is what I wanted to tell you."
