” Don’t talk to me about African (footballers) anymore. I wish them well, but either they sign me a waiver to participate in the African Cup or otherwise (…) I never have them available “Launched the president of the Italian club Aurelio de Laurentiis during a program broadcast on Tuesday August 2 by an economic site, Wall Street Italia. ” We are the idiots who pay the salaries to send them to play for others “, added the president of Naples. During the last CAN, in January and February, Napoli had been deprived of several major players in its workforce, including its Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly, who left for Chelsea this summer, and his Cameroonian midfielder Frank Zambo-Anguissa. One of the stars of the Italian club, qualified for the Champions League, is another African international, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who had not played in the AFCON due to injury. The clubs, employers of the players, have the obligation to let their internationals join their selections during the international periods governed by the International Federation (Fifa).
