English women do not wash, Napoli president tells his Chelsea target players

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has taken an unusual approach to dissuading his players from a Premier League move - by saying English women lack hygiene.
Rising stars Ezequiel Lavezzi, Marek Hamsik, Walter Gargano and Fabiano Santacroce have been linked with a switch to England after Napoli's impressive start to the Serie A season, with Luis Felipe Scolari's Chelsea linked to Lavezzi and Hamsik.
But De Laurentiis is unhappy with the transfer speculation and launched a spectacular volley of abuse about England.
He said: "We made these players — two years ago nobody knew who they were.
"If they want to go to England then in the end they're going to go, but they need to understand this: the English live badly, eat badly and their women do not wash their genitalia. To them, a bidet is a mystery."
