Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi is convinced the club's fans love him after seeing one of them sporting a tattoo of his face.
The 23-year-old Argentina international has been a big hit at San Paolo since he arrived from San Lorenzo in 2007.
“The people of Napoli have a great affection for me,” Lavezzi told Argentine daily newspaper La Razon.
“It's the demonstration of affection that has hit me the most. A guy came up to me and showed me a tattoo of my face… on his body!
“The people here treat me very well,” Lavezzi added. “The Neapolitans are very similar to the Argentines.
“I heard that the owner of a local pizza parlour recently dedicated a pizza to me, but I have yet to have the pleasure of eating it.
“This just shows the great affection Napoli fans are capable of even for an idiot with a face like mine,” Lavezzi concluded.
