Napoli’s Comeback Victory and Osimhen’s Stellar Performance Against Frosinone

FROSINONE A bad thought must have gone through Rudi Garcia’s head when, after ten minutes from the start of the match against Frosinone, his Napoli didn’t turn around. He trudged, he skidded. Even the diligent Lobotka seemed to be on vacation on the beach, hitting the ball lightly and sufficiently. Di Francesco’s team, on the other hand, shows off imagination and strength, closes the spaces, waits for Napoli in the summer version and starts again. He took the lead thanks to Cajuste’s sprawling gesture who kicked Baez in full area and Harroui didn’t let himself be intimidated by the penalty spot.

Garcia asked Napoli to dribble less, to verticalize immediately. To propose with long launches and to exploit the power of Osimhen. The difference is already quite evident, but the Nigerian centre-forward’s hunger for goals, top scorer last season and author of two goals, is the same. Politano kicks off the perfect comeback. A good start is half done, this goes for Osimhen who, happy, smiling at the end of the match, reiterates that «I give my heart and soul to Napoli» but that the negotiation for the renewal of the contract is still in progress: « We are negotiating – he says -. But De Laurentiis decides, he is the boss ». Maybe, but right now he’s the one conducting Garcia’s orchestra, even though the coach put him on the ropes during the break. «I told him that he had to help his teammates in the defensive phase, as he did last year. He understood and in the second half things changed ».

The first was good, and mister Rudi certainly doesn’t shy away from the comment on Spalletti, coach of the national team. “Good luck – sends him the message – Italy is a good team.” Will your Napoli also become beautiful? Garcia wants to improve many things (“we have to shoot more from outside and always keep our motivation high”) and introduce others (“I tried Ostigard as a midfielder and it’s a solution for the future”).

However, lingers on the protagonist, the man that all coaches would like. «Victor is a driving force, a motivator. Someone who always wants to win when he wears the Napoli shirt», Rudi doesn’t skimp on compliments. Who then comes to terms, at the end of the match, with a yellow card. «It is clear that the referee wanted to welcome me to Italy», he takes it philosophically. He has a serene gaze, Napoli made their debut with a comeback victory and the tricks to a game that was taking a bad turn belong to him. He languished on the pitch in the second half for the unfortunate Cajuste, the attention in the defensive phase and above all the competitive fury. The comfort zone was a calculated risk, fortunately in Frosinone it only lasted for a while.
