Heroes of the week

So… Toni’s keeping quiet these days (he’s playing well, but not scoring), Rossi’s Villareal lost to Sevilla (so no goals for him), and our usual segment protagonists are absent. This week, to find our ‘Hero of the Week’ we have to travel to Poland, where a certain Mr. Napoleoni has finally been making a name for himself.

Stefano Napoleoni, age 21Indeed, “Napo-gol” is on fire! Widzew Łódź hosted Jagiellonia Bialystok this week, for a 14th vs. 10th-ranked showdown (yeah, needless to point out that Widzew Łódź isn’t doing too well in the Orange Ekstraklasa this season). Regardless of his team’s ranking however, Stefano Napoleoni grabbed the match by the reins and scored a vital double last week-end, hopefully enough to keep his team off the relegation zone. Things are looking up for Napoleoni, who has now earned a starting role in the team and become the supporters’ idol..
