Third match of the season for Napoli
against Virtus Entella, team of Serie B, which missed the playoffs last season. This is the roster chosen by Sarri:
Rafael, Maggio, Chiriches, Koulibaly, Ghoulam, Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik, Callejon, Gabbiadini, El Kaddouri.
Instead, this is the roster in the second half:
Sepe, Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam, Lopez, Valdifiori, Hamsik, Mertens, Gabbiadini, Roberto Insigne.
They will play during the second half of the match Lorenzo Insigne, Alberto Grassi, Luperto and Emanuele Giaccherini as well.
Here’s the match report:
28 ‘: goal! Sensational indecision of Iacobucci, the Entella’s goalkeeper, missing the ball which finishes into his own goal;
47 ‘: Mertens doubles with a beautiful shot around. 2-0 for Napoli;
56 ‘: Mertens scores again, he hits the ball to short distance after a corner. 3-0;
58 ‘: a masterpiece by Lorenzo Insigne, a beautiful lob and it is goal again. 4-0;
74 ‘: 5-0 for Napoli by David Lopez, thanks to Lorenzo Insigne’s smart pass.
Difficult match in the first half, despite the Napoli’s pressure. But in the second half, Entella decreases physically and goes crazy because of the gang of little footballers (L. Insigne, Mertens, R.Insigne).
End result, Napoli – Virts Entella 5-0
