Final result: Lazio-Napoli 3-1
Caprile 6 – He comes out late on Pedro to award a penalty to Lazio, but then makes up for it by intercepting the penalty kicked by Zaccagni. However, the score is heavy: he returns home with three goals conceded (for which he has no particular fault).
Zerbin 4.5 – For his performance he deserves an even lower rating: he is always, constantly, in difficulty. He never manages to read Lazio’s movements in his area. But there is a mitigating factor and it’s a pretty big one: it’s his first match of the season and he’s playing it in a role that isn’t his. From the 72nd McTominay sv
Rafa Marin 5 – Tonight’s match confirms Conte’s doubts: he is still too immature to be part of this Napoli. He almost always looks for the advance and many times it goes badly for him.
Juan Jesus 5.5 – The best of the rearguard, even if on Noslin’s second goal he was fooled by Pedro’s movement who knocked him out with a backheel.
Spinazzola 5 – Inconsistent in the offensive phase, in difficulty when it comes to defending: on the goal that made it 3-1 Noslin mocked him with a perfect movement.
Gilmour 5.5 – The start of the game is encouraging but he doesn’t have a team following him. And as the minutes pass, he lets himself be dragged into the open sea of difficulties.
Folorunsho 5.5 – In a particularly unbalanced team he gets into difficulty when Lazio plays in transition. He accompanies Napoli’s counterattacks well, but on balance he is never dangerous. From the 72nd Di Lorenzo sv
Ngonge 5 – A good soloist rather than a useful team man: some good acceleration in the first minutes and nothing more. Fire in the pan. From the 72nd Politano sv
Raspadori 5 – He has no demerits in the offensive phase, he participates in the (few) blue counterattacks. The problem is when he has to help the defensive phase: he makes many, too many blue pencil errors. From the 85th Lobotka sv
Neres 6.5 – One of the few happy notes on the evening in which Napoli bid farewell to the Italian Cup: one of his plays resulted in the momentary equalizer and more generally he was the only one to provide Simeone with interesting balls.
Simeon 7 – On an evening to forget Cholito he can go home satisfied: he scores the goal that temporarily makes it 1-1, and comes close to making it 2-2. But more generally, it gives the impression that it can always cause problems. From the 78th Lukaku sv
Antonio Conte 4 – In order to rest all the starting players, he changed the formation and fielded players who were clearly out of position. It’s fine to focus on the championship, but tonight it seemed like too much: Napoli bid farewell to the Italian Cup without the honor of arms.
