In addition to the members of the current Italian champion, the club&#8217;s president also brought his family members to the <strong>Vatican<\/strong>. Pope Leo XIV was thrilled with the visit of the Napoli delegation and gave a speech congratulating Conte&#8217;s team on their achievement. It was the club&#8217;s fourth Italian title in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDear friends, welcome! And congratulations on winning the championship! It is a great celebration for the city of Naples! And that is precisely what I would like to reflect on with you. Winning the championship is an objective achieved at the end of a long journey, where what matters most is not the feat of a single moment, nor the extraordinary performance of a champion. The championship is won by the team, and when I say \u201cteam\u201d I mean both the players and the coach, the entire team and the club,\u201d said the religious leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the speech, Pope Leo XIV also spoke with the Napoli delegation. The pontiff was presented with a gift by Aurelio De Laurentiis, who gave him a shirt autographed by the team\u2019s players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou are winning the number 10 shirt! So you are a great striker,\u201d joked De Laurentiis. Pope Leo XIV thanked him for the gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During conversations with Antonio Conte, Napoli coach, and McTominay, the best player in the Italian Championship, Pope Leo XIV also denied the rumor that he was a Roma fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe press says I am a Roma fan, but you are welcome here! That is what the press says. Not everything that is in the press is true,\u201d he added.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After winning the Italian Championship title, the Napoli delegation visited Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":15038,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[102],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15037"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15037"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15039,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15037\/revisions\/15039"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbscore.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
