An unexpected defeat. Leaders Napoli collapse at home to Lazio in the Italian Cup. A 3-1 setback which ousts the Neapolitans from the national tournament and will allow Antonio Conte to set the Azzurri’s navigator only to the word “championship”. The choices of the Salento coach who completely changed the team by relying on those who have found less space up to now were not convincing but the answers received from the match at the Olimpico were not at all satisfactory.
The central defenders are bad
A performance below the coach’s expectations, especially that of the back pack which saw an adapted Zerbin on the right, Spinazzola on the left not sufficient and the central pair Rafa Marin-Juan Jesus who did not convince. The first seems to be released in the next market session, the second has not shone.
Ideas from the market
And to address this gap, the winter negotiation window can come to the rescue. The transfer market could bring alternatives to the starters Buongiorno and Rrahmani to Napoli to face the second part of the season. The most popular names are always those of Kiwior, Ismaily and Vitik. We’ll see what Napoli’s moves will be. Who since last night can only think about consolidating the lead in the rankings.
