Kvaratskhelia will not return until the end of the year. Having made a reason for the heavy loss, however, the Naples he can’t feel sorry for himself and Antonio Conte should go all-in with any eventuality against Udinese David Neres. There is no absolute certainty of the ownership of the 27 year old Brazilian, at least according to the words of the Lecce coach in the press conference, but the former Benfica player could give the sprint that the Georgian has lacked this season.
Goal factor
Only three goals in the last five Serie A games is not an acceptable result for Conte, but Neres can give the decisive shot from every point of view. As found by the Gazzetta dello Sport, his ability in close quarters always makes the difference, between crosses and finishing goals, with the ability to skip the man with extreme ease. A specialist in searing sprints, in Empoli – just to give an example – he even reached 34.76 km/h.
Experience and pairing with Lukaku
With 49 appearances in the Champions League (including the preliminaries), together with 9 goals and 10 assists in his time with Benfica, he has already shown in the league that he can form a devastating tandem together with Romelu Lukaku up front and the 30 goals scored are proof of this. The goal is to wipe out the record of ThuLagiven that Lautaro and Thuram together have 71 goals. With a mixture of charisma and innate talent he can seriously put Udinese on the ropes. And it would be an excellent way to convince Antonio Conte to no longer consider him just a wild card during the ongoing match.
