It's the official presentation from new Napoli midfielder Gokhan Inler transferring from Udinese on Monday July 11, 2011.  This got to be one of the funniest presentation since Inler presented himself wearing a "Lion mask - the Lion of Oz".. is the Swedish lion Inler extra happy to become a Napoli player as he declared.  Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentis making the official presentation on the ship of MSC Cruises called "Splendida".  Inler   takes off the mask  while in the conference room  people  already invoking his name.  Inler now unveiled in "Gokhan City" ... his new city Napoli.

Certainly, it is a challenge for Inler to show his potential as he did with Udinese.  Napoli are playing in Champions League this season and is the perfect scenario for this "roaring Swedish lion."

Italian Soccer Serie A wishes Gokhan Inler a successful season with Napoli.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentis during the funniest presentation from new Napoli midfielder Gokhan Inler.  'The Warrior of Napoli."

"I chose Naples to win". Gokhan Inler comes with the pride of a Warrior, and the sweetness of a Blue Angel, the pride of a lion and  the heart as urchin.

SSC Napoli Tickets  "I'm happy, I decided to come to Naples since long time. De Laurentiis has crowned my dream. This is a great club, a beautiful family and there is a special public.

"When I played at the San Paolo with Udinese, I realized that the warmth of these people is extraordinary. Now I will have the fans on my side and pushed me to do my best."

The happiest of all is De Laurenis himself. Yep, De Laurentis for a moment becoming the interviewer.

De Laurentis:  Are you glad to find your fellow Dzemaili?

Inler:  "Yes, of course. I know him well and I know that he gives his soul on field. But above all, I'll find a cohesive group that knows how to work together.  Then about the line up  Mazzarri will decide.  I have many friends in Naples, so I have not cheered when I scored at the San Paolo. But there is another secret that I carry inside me. I came here to win, we are in three competitions and we can see great things. There will be many great matches. Now it's for me an important chapter of my life. And this chapter is called: W Napoli!

On his official website Inler has decided to dedicate a letter to the blues fans:

"My new life begins so. With the cry of the people, with the cry of wonderful people: W Napoli! Now is also mine. Now I can say finally: W  Naples! Always! I am a blue player, friends, what joy! I can not wait: Good morning to all, I'm Gokhan Inler, the Warrior of Naples. I'm excited. Very excited. And so, so happy: I can not wait to know the coach Mazzarri, the staff and my new mates, many important champions and to them I promise to give the maximum every day. Behold, my only promise is this: I will give my all for the shirt of Napoli. In training and match. I chose Napoli to win: I dream the shield, I dream the Champions and  Italy Cup ...."

"My manager, Dino Lamberti, is originally from Naples, so you can understand how I grew up in Naples myth and Maradona. What a show! (...) After the match with Udinese at the San Paolo: fans have made me move. Choirs, the applause and affection that I have spent have been crucial: that evening, I had already chosen the color of my new life. The blue!
