Gattuso should propose several novelties, starting with the co-owners at rest in the Europa League: Meret in goal, Manolas in the center of defense and Mario Rui on the left, in midfield Demme (Fabian is not at his best) with Bakayoko and Zielinski while in Lozano attack in the trident with Insigne and Mertens, but beware of the possibility of seeing Petagna initially in place of the Belgian.

The first goal is to keep the team’s attention high, after all, all the matches of a Serie A made more complex by the many small and newly promoted players like Crotone who play good football require it, without ever giving up as it happened over the years. past.

Friends of Tuttonapoli, good evening and welcome to the direct text of Crotone-Naples!
