In the last night friendly, the Azzurri of Sarri confirmed their certainties.
Napoli has surprised for its intensity and attention. only a few shots on the distance have been made and a few corner. Then, Azzurro’s monologue. It ‘s true, the Monaco had several substitute, but this is a team that will participate in the Champions League (Villareal permitting), it is expected competitiveness even in the “reinforcements”. Probably did not seem that, more for the merits of Napoli that for Monaco demerits.
The game is what we know, smooth and organized. The the defensive line always high and aligned. The midfield well connected with the forward. In short……Maurizio Sarri.
- Defense
Goalkeepers dormants. Good the centrals back, with the usual Koulibaly, unsurpassed and Albiol, a safaty. Ghoulam master of the left-lane, and author of the assist for the advantage. Well Hysaj, always on time, also showing greater physical maturity. - Midfield
Good level of performance for the three of the median. Illuminating Hamsik, Jorginho essential fulcrum and usual tenacity of Allan, author of a nice goal. Satisfactory performance for replacements, Valdifiori and Zielinski. - Attack
Gabbiadini phenomenal! Four high-quality goals, perfect movements. Sarri really pleased with Manolo. Callejon, always precious, replaced by El Kaddouri who gave a good performance. Mertens very active, satisfying game, but in that zone, it seemed more inside the game, Lorenzo Insigne. Always dangerous and the center of the Azzurri offensive. Milik, who replaced Gabbiadini, showed hits from champion, and a pleasant understanding with Insigne. Polish is strong and it shows, who knows after twenty workouts with Sarri, what will be able to do.
In conclusion the Napoli team has convinced, It started from where it left off.
With a Sarri safer of himself and of the potential of this team, that will not have to suffer, like last year, the embarrassment of the season start up, with a new team. Think about having a ready team, a lot of money, but also the tranquility of being able to spend them, having already a grat level, it makes us hopeful to entertain, also this year.
