It was brown-trousers time for Napoli striker Lorenzo Insigne when he stopped at red lights on his way to Naples only to have a motorbike rider pull up and rob him at gunpoint.
But it wasn’t just cash the armed robber was after – he also demanded the shit-scared striker score a goal for him. Sounds like a tactic straight out of the Roy Keane book of motivational man- management. The player’s agent Antonio Ottaiano said the robber ed with a Rolex watch, jewels and 800 euros in cash and made the unusual request before a Serie A match against Fiorentina. “Lorenzo suffered a terrible experience and told me that it was a really bad moment,” said Ottaiano.
Insigne, who has scored 12 goals this season, has been linked with a summer move to Tottenham. Because everyone knows if you want to get away from violent crime, London is the perfect destination.
