NAPOLI, 1984-85
1984-85 was the first season for Diego in Naples. He played a good tournament, but people expected more from him.
Napoli went close to relegation in the first half of the tournament, but then lost only one match (1-2 in Milan against AC Milan) in the second half.
Maradona was the star and he enchanted people when he scored a hattrick against Lazio as Napoli won 4-0. He scored one goal directly from the corner kick and another one with a beautiful lob from outside the penalty area!
He played 30 matches and scored 14 goals. He was the top goalscorer of the team, and led Napoli to the eighth position in Serie A as Verona won the title.
