Breath to the bagpipes, Scott McTominay dominates and decides another Napoli match. Which is increasingly sailing at the top of our championship, dragged by its stars, by the new signings, by the intuitions of the scouting led by Maurizio Micheli and endorsed by the Azzurri ownership. The Manchester United player is probably, and the conditional is only a manavantism which we could also kindly do without, the best midfielder to arrive in Italy in the last summer. He scores, he defends, he attacks, he has physique, he has determination, he has character. He has an impact in every sense and the goal against Torino confirms this again.
Antonio Conte’s new Vidal
Without Cups, Conte went all-in on the championship. And this can clearly create some small imbalances in the management of the squad, as Giacomo Raspadori’s playing time confirms this. But in such an important season, of restart, for Napoli and for Conte, it is impossible not to create some small discontent which nevertheless confirms the goodness of the management’s choices: all top-level footballers, a group and a complete squad ready to make it great again Naples. What is certain is that this McTominay, immediately essential and important, with extraordinary data, not even the best of optimists could have expected. In terms of player type and performance, he closely resembles what a certain Arturo Vidal did with Conte in his Juventus days. Who was one of the main gladiators of the great Juventus successes.
30.5 million for a Scudetto shot
The figures of the summer: McTominay was not paid little but do you remember what we told you in a Podcast dated August 31st? Listen again to believe: “We are underestimating McTominay: a shot worthy of the first great Scots in Serie A. 30.5 million euros plus 10% for future resale to Manchester United, important figures but for a Scudetto player. For the true driving force of Conte’s Napoli. For his new Vidal.
