Napoli is gearing up for the Napoli-Atalanta match, but the Holy Saturday game will also be an opportunity for the blue club and its fans to welcome back Juan Jesus, playing for the first time since the Inter-Napoli case and Francesco Acerbi.

The blue club has announced an initiative in defense of the Brazilian defender, "defeated" in the dispute with his colleague by the verdict of the Sports Judge Mastandrea who had acquitted the defender earlier in the week despite the accusations from the Neapolitan side.

Present at the initiative were actor Marco D'Amore and the young striker of the under-15 blue team Seik Mane, who, along with Juan Jesus, starred in a video against racism shared by the club a few days ago: "Too much have our eyes seen, our lips have heard. Too much have our lips been silent. This is no longer the time for negligence: Naples, let your voice be heard without fear. Together, let us say united: no to racism," were the words of the Neapolitan actor read at the stadium.

But it wasn't just the club that made its voice heard: from the stands, in fact, fans announced their utmost support for the Brazilian with banners prepared for him and the best show of affection and solidarity after two weeks of talk and criticism for the player himself, who will be starting in the match against Atalanta. Before the kickoff, the entire team knelt for their teammate.
