Maurizio Sarri
Where Napoli was?
The day before yesterday, it wasn’t Napoli, the team which played against Pescara. It was a team that wore the shirt of Napoli. Its own players had the same surnames as those of the team in light blue, also the names! But it was not Napoli! No instead, it was just it, but with a bug, a mistake in writing the source code, as in a computer program. Maybe the bugs were more than one.
Slow and static team, almost lazy and sad, sweated such as its own coach, but only because of the warm evening. Slow Valdifiori, static and dizzy Gabbiadini, sad Insigne who played in the central position forgetting his role. In defense, Koulibaly did not help Goulam, who got lost and forgot how to do the diagonal movement. But I could say 11 names, because no one is innocent. Pescara? I had already written in the article, previous to the match, that the Oddo’s team plays well, but I also had showed you my optimism!
Taken two slaps, in the second half the Sarri’s team made its homework, it immediately seemed more energetic. Then, the entry of Milik. He was already comfortable with the teammate, but above all the entry of the elf called Mertens, gave verve to Napoli. It has been like drinking a black coffee, hot and strong, that wakes you up and allows you to start the day. Zielinski also behaved positively. The decline of the opposing team has done the rest. Napoli drawn and even risked the win… Could Rocchi go to the eye specialist?
Also the “second” Napoli has been not a team to take as an example, however, enough in order to obtain the first point.
