The report cards of Napoli-Legia Warsaw 3-0 by Fabrizio d’Esposito and Ilaria Puglia.
MERET. Decorated in white, Ilaria, the young Meret returns as an immaculate lily and remains so until the end, guarding a door that has never been violated. On one occasion there is the help of San Palo, but he was there ready to deviate – 6
I was very afraid of Legia, I admit, so that clumsy and lucky control at the beginning of the race worried me a bit. Fortunately, Alex was never engaged afterwards – sv
DI LORENZO. Tonight the pelota travels in one direction only and the Euroappuntato becomes an external attacking vicar. The bank with the cabeza at the exact time of play crosses the entire mirror of the goal, in vain – 6.5
Since he didn’t have much to do in defense, where he was always careful anyway, he proposed a lot in overlapping. The striking thing is that Di Lorenzo did not miss even a minute of the game, between Napoli and the national team, but continues to grind the field and not to give up – 6.5
MANOLAS. Not that the Poles dare very much, on the contrary, but the Hellenic does not let anyone escape. Too bad about the injury – 6
The Legia does not send him into confusion, given that he does not press madly, and you can see the difference: he manages to think calmly, without anxiety, and to make the best choice, like that of the action that caused the injury. Yes, it’s a real shame, he needed some morale – 6
PETAGNA from 72 ‘. It is nice to reiterate that with the spectacles of spalletism, Petagnone’s vision also changes. And in twenty minutes he goes to the shot twice – 6
And it goes there with both the left and the right, too bad it does not enter either one way or the other – 6
KOULIBALY. Shortly before two to zero, the Commander makes a salvific advance. What do we want to tell him, Ilaria? – 7
Even if the Poles wanted to try to start again, he is the one who puts out any of their ambitions in the bud. It is always ahead, to stop regardless of any raid attempt. He is a force of nature, we want to say this to him, as well as thank him because he is always there with his head and body and this also transmits important signals to fellow wards – 7
JUAN JESUS. You can hardly see it, as if it were being held back. Impossible to judge it – without a vote
On the notebook I noted: slow, cumbersome, out of context. Actually, I don’t even know if it went terribly. It was the first, let’s give it time. But now I understand why Spalletti uses Mario Rui more: Juan still has to get some experience. The positive note is that he lasted 95 minutes, the negative one is the yellow card caught on the first shot. The vote is one of encouragement – 6
ANGUISSA. Tonight he is the mayor of the center, but not in the Mastellian sense – 6.5
If the Legia does not manage to do much, the credit is above all his. Less brilliant than the other times, perhaps you spend less, and rightly so, waiting for Roma, but you certainly can’t restrain your body completely with your mind, when it is so overflowing – 6.5
FABIAN RUIZ from 57 ‘. Our Hispanic Eagle is one of the bench press magician’s moves to increase ball speed even more and asphyxiate the Legia – 6
You see that Fabian is about to enter and you think: no, now the whole game slows down and we go into confusion. Instead the opposite happened, he started sorting a lot of balls, with geometric precision. If the pace changed it was also thanks to him – 6.5
DEMME. Our Calabrian-Teutonic surveyor embodies the perfect Methodist tonight and on his return he holds up for all ninety minutes. He also participates in the shooting: in the 52nd minute he shoots a great shot just outside – 6.5
He gives balance to the team, which is what he is called upon to do. Some inaccuracies, but after a long time off the field there is. And for him too, as for Juan Jesus, the encouraging sign is that he holds up the whole game – 6
DIAMOND. Pure movementism that of the Macedonian. At times it seems that he is spinning in circles, in reality his is a continuous and non-stop search for the teammate or the ball. And it is precious and quick in Spalletti’s tactical chameleonism – 6.5
Elmas is so used to not having a role, that he perfectly complies with Spalletti’s transformation on the pitch. It seems to run without sense, at times, you’re right, instead it has its own mental, profitable path. It makes me curious, Elmas – 6
LOZANO. The Legia pipelet for 75 minutes is unbeatable and it is also unbeatable on that El Tav pitch served by the revived Ciro. He commits some nonsense behind but his proof is more than positive – 6.5
He seemed too focused on scoring and I didn’t like that too much. In short, I found it less lucid than usual, even if always dynamic – 6
OSIMHEN from 57 ‘. The advent of Victor Victoria is like a Marian apparition or a biblical miracle. The waters open and the Napule passes three times in twenty minutes. His Divinity Osimhen scored two goals. One is good, the other is not. Both beautiful, in any case – 7.5
The atmosphere already changes when you see him on the sidelines preparing. All around is a dusty blue light, with a slight gold gradient outline, like the colors of the shirt the team wore yesterday. The supernatural takes possession of fans, players and spectators at home. You know that something is bound to happen. And in fact it happens: it breaks through all the principles of physics by transforming matter into beauty and happiness, destroying the opposition of anyone who tries to stop the miracle. And with a smile on his lips. The hands on the head for the magic of Insigne, then, say everything about how pure it is inside. Ah Fabrizio, how wonderful to have such a player – 8
MERTENS. Spalletism has also resurrected Ciro. He plays the beauty of 72 ‘minutes, boasts two scoring (the one shot on the fly at 21’ is magnificent) and is often the attacking director. He is no longer the former player of last season, deo gratias. As they say in politics, Ilaria can be a decisive added value, much added – 6.5
He’s back, albeit with a few more years on his shoulders. Those 72 minutes, Fabrizio, are blessed, also because, as he said after the game, he really gave everything. No more hands on hips in that attitude that made us so mad, never. He tried very hard and even sacrificed himself in cover. It was wonderful to see the agreement with Insigne again, as if not a day had passed without playing together on the pitch – 6.5
POLITANO from 72 ‘. The assist for the Captain’s goal and then the third seal on the victory. There is nothing to do: when Na-Politano enters a game in progress it is explosive – 7.5
Look for me as Politano looks for Insigne on the action of the goal – 7
BADGE. It starts immediately with the bubbles and never stops. But it is the Poles who are drunk. The Captain turns on the green light to his talent and maturity after Sunday’s fatal mistake and is the absolute lord of the pelota, especially as a finisher. Then in the 75th minute, he makes a golazo of instinct shining like a jewel. Chapeau – 8
More than a goal, a work of art. To be reviewed in loop over and over again. The captain, yesterday, was perfect, and not only for that – 8
Rahman from 81 ‘. Without vote
Without vote
SPALLETTI. His Napule is more and more multifaceted: a team capable of killing the game in the first twenty minutes or of taking it in the last twenty, like Sunday and like tonight. The qualities of the magician on the bench are many but it should be remembered that his tactical flexibility is the exact opposite of populist dogmatism. In short, Spalletti is a very talented gradualist – 8
Spalletti the solver. Change form twice per game in progress, without creating any kind of perturbation in yours, indeed, everything happens with such naturalness that you understand how much work is behind in training, how much inventiveness, imagination, foresight, how much competence. Everything he touches glitters, he reads games like no one else does. This Naples seems to be his world, a place where he can put to good use everything he has inside, for which he studied, everything he even imagined. It is a wonder that fills the eyes – 10
CERRO GRANDE REFEREE (SPAIN). Classic referee who wants to see the blood flow to whistle a penalty – 4
Spalletism has also resurrected Ciro. Insigne is the gentleman
