Napoli fans boo Noa Lang after Lazio draw
Napoli drew 1-1 with league leaders Lazio in Serie A, and Noa Lang was booed by fans at the final whistle. The player's exchange with supporters and the team's recent poor results added to the tension.

Napoli drew 1-1 with league leaders Lazio at home in Serie A on Sunday. Davide Frattesi put Napoli ahead, and an own goal by Alfonso Pedraza brought the score level. With this result, Napoli ended a two-match losing streak and sit 11th in the table.
In the week before the match, there was serious tension around Napoli and head coach Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri lost seven and won five of his first 15 matches in charge of Napoli.
Supporters are unhappy with the performances of some players. In particular, Noa Lang is reported to have avoided applauding the fans after Napoli's 4-1 Champions League defeat to Porto this week. In the Lazio match, when the final whistle blew, Lang headed straight for the tunnel. His teammates and the coaching staff called him back onto the pitch.
During the Lazio match, Lang responded to fans who were booing him by putting his index finger to his ear. When the match ended and he approached the supporters, he was met with booing and insulting chants. According to press reports, Napoli plan to bring new players into the squad in the January transfer window. Lang is reportedly among the players who could be moved on, along with Lorenzo Lucca and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.
