“Another hard-fought match, there is a certain rivalry.” This is expected from Napoli-Roma Gianfranco Zolaformer Italian footballer who during his career was coached by Ranieri first under Vesuvius and then at Chelsea. Magic Box, in an interview with Corriere dello Sportthen added: “Everyone is at risk, each in their own way: it will be tough, even if Napoli seems to me to be the favorite due to the route and the home factor.”
The match against Napoli will be Ranieri’s first after his return to the Giallorossi bench: “He is the best choice. He knows the place well and can bring a lot of experience and serenity: in this historical moment these are fundamental factors. Without disrespect, he surprised a everyone’s decision to send De Rossi away, but I won’t go into the merits. Then Juric arrived, a good coach who needs a certain amount of time and certain players. They were particular choices, I won’t go further.”
In Napoli, however, McTominay is showing off (who Zola knows very well given that he comes from the Premier League: “One of the best shots of the last summer. Here, in England, they can’t understand how United managed to leave him go. They struggle to understand it, perhaps it’s a choice due to Financial Fairplay. It hasn’t been digested much.”
