Aurelio De Laurentiis, currently involved in a legal dispute, has shown himself to be an outspoken individual who speaks his mind without reservation.
During the Gran Gala del Calcio, the Napoli president directed criticism at DAZN while being broadcast live on national television. “Next year, let’s see if DAZN will leave us like they did in France,” he began.

Fabio Caressa, the event’s host on Sky, attempted to intervene: “Let’s not put them in a tough spot; they’re our guests tonight and doing a great job.” However, his effort fell short.
“Sure, they do a fantastic job. But when they employ pro-Roma commentators, that’s another story,” De Laurentiis bluntly remarked, causing some discomfort among those present. The commentary for the Roma-Napoli match was assigned to the Pardo-Stramaccioni duo, which likely fueled the Napoli president’s frustration.
As the host sought to ease the tension, De Laurentiis maintained his stance: “Alright, let’s enjoy the awards, avoid stirring up trouble, and embrace our Italian spirit.”
