Napoli owner storms out of draw, departs on stranger's scooter
Table of Contents
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has displayed his disgust at the 2011/2012 Serie A fixtures by storming away from a televized ceremony announcing the schedule on a passer-by's scooter.
The lovably crazed 62-year-old Italian film producer had hoped his team would not have difficult fixtures close to the Champions League games.
But, instead, the calendar handed them a home match against reigning champions AC Milan on matchday three, the weekend after their opening Champions League game, while they will play Inter Milan on matchday six.
De Laurentiis then swore at the gathered Serie A club presidents, FIGC members and media as he stormed out of the studio while the ceremony was still on.
"It's all been mapped out against us," he blasted. "Enough is enough, I'm going back to cinema.
"I'm ashamed to be Italian! I want to change citizenship!"
Brilliantly, De Laurentiis then hitched a ride on a stranger's scooter and trundled away from the scene, leaving the centre of the perceived crime in a blaze of defiance.
