Noa Lang’s increasingly strained relationship with some Napoli supporters has created further tension after team-mates Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Antonio Vergara removed their likes from a controversial post by the Dutch winger.
It had already been reported that Lang was affecting the working atmosphere at Napoli by speaking sharply to colleagues at the club.
The situation began with jeering at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, where the reaction from supporters became a symbol of the worsening relationship between Lang and sections of the Napoli fanbase.
The social media incident added to the tension. Several Napoli players initially liked one of Lang’s posts, according to calcionapoli1926.it, and many supporters interpreted the gesture as a sign of solidarity with the winger.
That response came at a time when the atmosphere around the team was already becoming increasingly difficult.
The likes from Di Lorenzo and Vergara attracted particular attention. Di Lorenzo is Napoli’s captain and a central figure in the dressing room, while Vergara is a local young player who grew up dreaming of representing the team from his home city.
The reaction to their involvement ultimately led both players to withdraw their likes from Lang’s post.
