Gattuso, eye problems: he does not speak. The vice: “A bad Naples’

The technician suffers from a troublesome ocular myasthenia. The assistant coach Riccio: “An ugly Napoli”. The president sends the team into retreat. Injuries: strong contusion for Lozano

This cannot be his Naples. Of course, there were heavy absences (Insigne, Mertens, Osimhen), but at the Olimpico the Azzurri appeared to be a soulless team. Never in the game, with a submissive and not very proactive attitude, except for about ten minutes after the goal of the usual Property advantage. In all this, Rino Gattuso also has physical problems. He has been living for several days with a problem in his right eye. Already during the Europa League match against Real Sociedad he had avoided the press conference, which he did again tonight after the match with Lazio. Ocular myasthenia is not a disease to be taken lightly, it causes discomfort. Rino goes on the bench even though he should probably avoid all forms of stress.

Step back

In its place, the commentary on the match is by his deputy Luigi Riccio. “A step backwards compared to many other races, it wasn’t us, lackluster, ugly, light, soft. We’re sorry, but we can’t be this one. We have to react immediately against Torino on Wednesday ”.

Accidents

Meanwhile, the outcome of the instrumental tests to which Hirving Lozano underwent this evening, speaks of a strong bruise on his left ankle. The Mexican striker was injured in a game clash with Lazio defender Radu. Lozano left the Olimpico leaning on two crutches and reached Villa Stuart where the instrumental investigation confirmed the fears that arose immediately after the injury, when the player had to leave the field supported by the doctor and one of the physiotherapists. Kalidou Koulibaly also had to leave the pitch early in the second half. The Senegalese defender was injured around half an hour. A pain in the left quadriceps that seemed to have disappeared after a few shots. But after ten minutes into the second half, the player was forced to give way to Kostas Manolas. For him it is a muscular resentment that will be assessed tomorrow, when the team will meet in Castel Volturno to prepare for Wednesday’s match against Torino.
