La Gazzetta dello Sport analyzes the moment of Napoli’s attack. Conte has the seventh attack of the championship with 21 goals, never this bad since 2009-2010. Lukaku is no longer that devastating center forward of his first two years at Inter, he no longer has the pace and the flair to turn, aim for the goal and overwhelm his opponents. Now he needs the team’s support to thrive in front of goal.
For this reason, Maradona’s whistles at the moment of the substitution against Lazio still seemed ungenerous towards a player forced to spend more time fighting with his back to the goal. Kvara isolates himself too much and Conte is called to find new solutions. One possibility is Neres, with him on the pitch there is always the feeling that something could happen.
