Raffa brings the Frenemies series to The Napoli Rant and brings in Vito Doria of Total Italian Football, to speak about the career of Gianluca Vialli, who sadly passed away earlier this morning, January 6, 2023 - the Day of the Epiphany. Vialli, while battling pancreatic cancer, assisted his friend and former Samp & Italy teammate, manager Roberto Mancini in winning Euro 2020. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Vialli family today and this weekend!
Vialli was a Sampdoria, Juve and Chelsea legend and a trailblazer. Vito recalls his memories of Vialli, and then we chat briefly about our upcoming match at the Maradona this Sunday. Napoli are coming off their first defeat in the league while Samp notched their 2nd win in the campaign upon the return of Serie A after the World Cup. We also briefly chat about the inevitable Bereszynski/Zanoli sawp loan deal.
You can find Vito Doria by searching his name on Facebook and @VitoCDoria on Twitter, as well as Total Italian Football, previously Forza Italian Football on Twitter @SerieATotal

THEY'RE BAAACK!!!
After the long break for the Fifa World Cup, Serie A is back, but most importantly, NAPOLI are back so that means Raff & Raff are BACK!
I partenopei, set to clash with Inter in Milan on Wednesday Jan 4, are now the ONLY unbeaten team in domestic league play throughout the top 6 leagues in Europe after both PSG and Benfica lost at the weekend.

Napoli LOSE their first match of the 2022/23 season, but still WIN GROUP A!!! We have Chris Kelly (@RealDonDiNapoli) LIVE from Anfield to talk about the mood of the tifosi, how we reacted to the Ostigard disallowed goal that would have seen us up 1-0, how we looked overall on the pitch live and what this means moving forward. HUGE match in Bergamo vs Atalanta this weekend in a 1vs2 brawl! Are we still focused?
Check out our Youtube channel for our Pre Match Coverage, when we were all certain we'd win our 6th out of 6, as Chris comes in at the death to join us pitchside! Lots of Fun!

Napoli wins their 10th straight in all competitions with a 3-2 win over Bologna at the Maradona as they head into a much needed week without a midweek match. Osimhen's winner boasted the question: Is Three's Company at Napoli? With Raspadori starting regularly, Osimhen back from injury is producing and we haven't seen Simeone for two consecutive matches, what is the plan moving forward?
Meret's blunder to make it 2-2 caused a stir among fans. Should we give him the benefit of the doubt? Or is there cause for concern?
We discuss the win and award a new Beast of the Match!
Raffa also shouts out the Tri-State Napoli Club as he attended the meet and the Fellas & Bellas got a surprise visit at Luna in Nutley, NJ from a Serie A representative.
Raff N Raff at The Napoli Rant are proud to be ambassadors of the Tri-State Napoli Club. To join us, visit the club Twitter page @tri_napoliclub.
