New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted a series of comments about Italian football on Thursday, announcing his support for SSC Napoli and mentioning New York City FC and midfielder Andrea Pirlo.
Without @Pirlo_official, the bianconeri are toothless vs. @sscnapoli. @Juventusfc's loss is @NYCFC's gain! #JuveNapoli #ForzaNapoliSempre
