Civil war that's destroying Naples: All you need to know

What happened in Naples?

In the last four games, Naples has never won, has equalled three times, and has lost once. But it was the date of November 2nd that will never forget the fans and players of Naples.

Rome defeated Anceplott's team 2-1, and this so frustrated Naples's president, De Laurentín, that he asked the players to assemble for a week and isolate themselves for a week by practicing. They had no right to talk to anyone, to sleep together, to exercise together, to stay together, and not even to their family members.

In a statement issued by the Naples club, it is said that the media have wrongly described it as a “punitive withdrawal” for players, one week in single. But training under such conditions can't be a reward, can it?

But the catastrophic earthquake in Naples occurred when only Carlos Anceplott, the legendary Italian coach, appeared in solitary confinement one week. Players, solidified with each other decided not to listen to the club president's order, Periscope follows.

This increased the ire of the club's controvers president, who threatened all players with indictments. Each had his salary cut by 25%, and it seems to have had an impact on later fan behaviour.

Shortly thereafter, Anceplott changed his alliance even though he fell asleep all alone waiting for his players. He joined the players by abandoning the president. But fans escalated the crisis in Naples's team further, unpredictably vandalizing their team players. Each of these players has employed personal guards, as the houses and the players themselves -- one of them Zielinsky -- were attacked by Nazi fans.

Nobody had expected fans to become the president of the club in this case, but that is what happened.

What happens next?

There are reports in Italian media suggesting De Laurentis is looking into the club's sale for about 900m euros. But until such a thing happens, the club is expected to have drastic declines and in the January mercato, most of the key players are expected to leave, including Mertens, Insigne, Koulilayn and Ruiz.

Meanwhile, the club currently remains in force for none of the players to issue statements on the media until another decision. /Periscope
