NAPOLI – CHIEVO. The comments and the report cards.

Manolo Gabbiadini

Reasoned turnover for Napoli,

no debutantes. However, according to Sarri, the “guys on the bench” are growing and they will soon be able to give their help. Against an organized Chievo, but which does not worry in attack, the Sarri’s team won without overdoing. It allows very little, some wrong offside, and some confused play far enough from the goal. Napoli already closes the match in the first half, when it makes its maximum effort and plays more then Chievo. Thanks to good play storylines, he scores Gabbiadini, the supporters awaited his first goal in the championship, and Hamsik, who with his goal number 100, enters the history of the Neapolitan club. In the second half of the match, Napoli tries to send to sleep the match with a slow play, but he can not always. Chievo tries to lead the game, but his phrasing in midfield does not give good results, and it produces little or nothing. On one occasion, the substitute Floro Flores manages to deceive the defensive line of Napoli. Thanks to the recovery of Koulibaly, and to a cold Reina, you avoid the worst.
