The locker room, the Sarri secret
The pause for national teams
It will be useful to Maurizio Sarri who will recover important players, and the dressing room will become crowded. Fourteen footballers engaged around the world…who give prestige to Napoli. But what a bad luck, just after the defeat in Bergamo against Atalanta! Better playing soon in order to react. But perhaps, it is not bad fortune.
It seemed defensers alarm. Tonelli, who because of his knee troubles deserts the pre-season retreat. Damn the privacy, we feared a second case Zuniga. Maksimovic unuseable as well, but because of the argument with his former team. About Vlad Chiriches, we thought to a very serious injury during his retreat with Romania team. Luckily that injury has been less worse than we expected. Finally, Albiol against Benfica made us tremble in front of the TV. It seemed to be a serious muscle problem but instead…Five central defenders in the roster, three of which were unusable!
Actually Koulibaly, and Albiol before the injury, played all the matches, so that Maksimovic was able to catch up with their teammates. Then, he replaced the Spanish defender, right in the game against Benfica. In the Champions League the Serb footballer made his debut and justified his high cost.
Albiol could even be ready after the National teams pause against Roma at San Paolo stadium. Then Chiriches, a month after the surgery on the meniscus, is back in the group, group in which he already trains Tonelli. From emergency, to abundance. Absolute abundance if we want also consider the young Polish Lasicki. Probably he remained in Napoli for the FIGC rules. The rules which want roster by 25 players, including 4 brought up in the same youth teams, and 4 brought up in Italy. But we expect his starting in January in order to allow him to progress. This optimal situation, at least until Koulibaly will leave for the African Cup in January, because if all goes well,
