In Edinburgh, Ancelotti’s Italians overtook the European champions without appeal: the captain’s goals, Milik and Younes. In the final Meret is prodigious
EDIMBURGO (Scotland) – The Napoli annihilates the Liverpool < / a> overcoming 3-0 in the fourth friendly for the Azzurri in this summer 2019. At Murrayfield in Edinburgh, the Scottish rugby stadium stadium, there is no history for the European champions, without Alisson, Firmino, Salah and Man against Ancelotti’s team , which had no Koulibaly, Allan and Fabian Ruiz. Insigne, author of a goal and an assist, is the star of the meeting, but also Verdi in the first half and Meret in the final earn the classic loaf.
On the 11th Insigne warms the hands of Mignolet, who deflects an insidious free kick by the Italian captain. The Liverpool goalkeeper can do nothing in the 17th minute, when the Azzurri take the lead with a sudden reversal in front: Insigne sinks to the left, then focuses and scores with a right to turn to the edge of the post. The Napoli captain had already punished the Reds on October 3, 2018, in the Champions League, when Liverpool was beaten 1-0 thanks to an tactical masterpiece by Ancelotti.
At 28 ‘the doubling of Napoli: this time Insigne disguises himself as an assistman serving from the left Milik , which touches the net in a slip. On 44 minutes, Liverpool scored with Wijnaldum, but the referee canceled out a blatant offside.
In the second half, in the 52nd minute, Napoli secured the match by finding the 3-0: again Insigne sinks to the left, tries his right back, but this time Mingolet rejects; the newcomer Younes is however quick to reiterate on the net by signing the trio. Liverpool has not found the strength to react except in the final race, when Meret becomes the protagonist: the 80 ‘Napoli goalkeeper is reactive on a deviation of his teammate Hysaj, who misses his own goal on cross from left, then at 90 ‘Wilson starts a fireball from outside the area, but Meret is prodigious with an intervention in flight.
Ancelotti’s Napoli takes revenge for the 5-0 cashed by Liverpool on 4 August last year, still in the pre-season stage. The blue team finally really convinces: the preparation work begins to give its results.
