End of Month summary
Mr Drezzy wasn't happy, they had only had one pre season game. The tour of Iraq and Afghanistan was due to take place, but every one at Napoli refused to go. Then UEFA tried to arrange a friendly competition between the past UEFA Europa League winners, Napoli, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Dynamo Kyiv, but a deal couldn't be reached.
But it was a good month, Napoli looked good against Fiorentina and lifted the super cup. They put in a good show against Inter Milan, who in all honesty should have won the match.
Then Napoli played Manchester United in the European Super Cup, again, playing well and lifting the trophy.
The New players had blended well but Mr Drezzy still wasn't 100% happy, they needed to build their fitness up
