Final result: Napoli-Lecce 1-0
Meret 6.5 – He has a great reflection on Baschirotto in the first half and is always careful in his exits. The return from injury coincides with another clean sheet.
By Lorenzo 7 – Today he doesn’t work as a sidekick, but as a pure full-back, demonstrating that he hasn’t forgotten how to do it despite a tough opponent like Banda. But the title of man of the match rightfully belongs to him because he actually scores two goals: one is canceled out due to a matter of millimetres, the other is regular and is in fact worth the three points.
Rrahmani 6.5 – He keeps an eye on Krstovic, without risking anything and blocking a couple of shots from him. Ordinary administration for the rest.
Good morning 6.5 – Maradona applauds him for a great save in the first half, while Conte applauds him for his help during the construction phase. Complete defender, increasingly leader of the Italian rearguard.
Olivera 6.5 – Constantly accompanied up front, he was the protagonist of at least two providential closures, one above all on Pierotti in the first half. Maybe it’s because the garra is typical of the Uruguayans and also of Antonio Conte, but with the new coach he seems like a transformed footballer.
Anguissa 6.5 – We assure you that there is only one on the pitch, it hasn’t been doubled yet, even if that’s the feeling. The great absentee of last season quickly returned to man-everywhere in this one.
Gilmour 6 – It won’t be Lobotka, that’s for sure, but it replaces him really well. He’s starting to gain confidence in the championship and it shows, he shows he has a pretty good foot in the finishing phase. From 72′ Raspadori sv
McTominay 6.5 – A bit of a second striker, a bit of a midfielder, but perhaps the perfect position hasn’t been found yet. However, his skill on dead balls is important and in fact it is from his header from a corner that the winning rebound for Di Lorenzo’s 1-0 was born.
Ngonge 5.5 – Lots of enthusiasm for his first start in the league, the problem is when it leads to euphoria and makes final choices wrong. As long as he remains on the pitch, the blue player kicks the most, but with little precision. Too much desire to do means overdoing it. And overdoing it is not synonymous with doing well. From 58′ Politano 6 – Comes in to give greater brilliance to the side where Lecce is most dangerous. He manages to support Di Lorenzo, even if in the last thirty meters he is less decisive.
Lukaku 5 – For an hour of play it’s the same as Empoli-Napoli, with all the difficulties in managing the balls in tight spaces and the verve of the worst days: imprecise, he wastes at least two big chances. From 85′ Folorunsho sv
Neres 6 – In his first start as a starter in Serie A he gives a few outbursts here and there, as he usually does, but this time starting from a slightly more central position. Nice to see, even if this time he doesn’t manage to get into the scoreboard. From 72′ Kvaratskhelia sv
Antonio Conte 6.5 – The first escape is granted, given that Inter and Juventus will take points away from each other, with another very solid performance in the defensive phase and decided by an inactive ball. On points, the success was deserved and given the opportunities we had, the 1-0 was a bit tight. Of course, it’s not a sparkling Naples, but that takes more time.
