'Juventus Have Always Been Helped,' Says Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has taken another shot at Serie A champions Juventus, saying they are "always helped" because they're the "rulers of Italy."

The Partenopei will finish the Serie A campaign in second place behind the Bianconeri, and De Laurentiis told Radio Kiss Kiss (h/t Football Italia) the fans should be happy with that result, as they can't compete with Juventus:

"Napoli fans want us to beat Juventus, but they've always been helped because they're the rulers of Italy. I appreciate the fans, but I don't share their thoughts: for them we must get into debt by signing (Mauro) Icardi and (Lionel) Messi.
