Can you post the other half of Napoli game page? There is a stat about Diego gol that looks interesting...
I think you are referring to the Gazzetta article ? The one about the goals of the foreigners... yes, that’s regarding Maradona topping the foreigners list of goalscoring once Italy opened their doors to many foreigners. I’ll look for it and post it for you.
The one from Gazzetta. There is a stat in the Middle of the page about Maradona surpassing Platini in something...its in the Napoli Cremonese report...
2 back to back critical losses for AC Milan has them fighting Napoli neck to neck in the final rounds. Can Van Basten lead them down the stretch ? Or will a dangerous Maradona in fitter shape take over and guide Napoli to the title ?
Guerin put Diego in the top 10 and give him 7 and then 6 to Carnevale, while Gazzetta give 6 to Diego and 7.5 to Carnevale...
At this stage (March 1990) AC Milan hangs onto a 1 point lead over Napoli. Maradona has grown throughout the campaign and is in line to cement his legacy on Italian fields as one of the legendary players of all-time. Franco Baresi is captaining AC Milan to another title, while Van Basten is having his most standout year in Italy.
Some nice stuff in here: they basically said that Maradona and Van Basten are the 2 best Players, and that Maradona has been the best since the Early 80s basically despite the poor Barca years. Zico was the king Before Diego until 82, and Cruyff Before the brazilian. No mention of Platini strange enough. Basically they said this : World Best player : 70s Cruyff -> late 70s Zico -> early 80s to 89 Maradona
