12.30 PARTS!

12.27 – Teams in the field

12.20 – Mario Rui, tErzino of Napoli, a few minutes before the match against Parma spoke to Dazn’s microphones: “This year the preparation was a bit different, for us and for all the other teams. We worked a lot and faster than usual, the loads have increased in a reduced number of days, but the team is ready both physically and mentally “.

12.10 – Cristiano Giuntoli, sporting director of Napoli, before the debut in the league against Parma spoke to Dazn’s microphone: “Milik? We have a negotiation with Roma that has not yet been successful, we will see in the coming days”.

Will you get a Veretout midfielder? “Right now we are very attentive to what is happening around us. It is a delicate moment, there is little money in the transfer market. We will only be able to intervene if we have the right opportunities.”

12.00 – Simone Iacoponi, Parma player, spoke to ‘DAZN’ microphones a few minutes before the kick-off of the match against Napoli, valid for the first day of Serie A: “We couldn’t wait, training without official matches is not nice . The goal remains salvation and we have to make a new path, we have changed coaches and clubs, but we are ready to restart.

It starts with 1000 fans. “I think it is positive news, playing with the fans is important. We hope that we will return to normal as soon as possible.”

11.19 – Napoli takes the field in just over an hour in Parma and the official formations of the challenge have just been released. Rino Gattuso restarts from 4-3-3, leaving Osimhen on the bench. In attack there is Mertens to act as center forward, but the novelty is the presence of Lozano on the left. Surprise in defense on the left: out Mario Rui, to whom Hysaj is preferred. Here are the official formations.

PARMA (4-3-1-2) Sepe; Darmian, Iacoponi, Alves, Pezzella; Grassi, Brugman, Hernani; Kucka; Cornelius, English

NAPLES (4-3-3) Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Koulibaly, Hysaj; Zielinski, Demme, Fabian Ruiz; Lozano, Mertens, Insigne. Available: Meret, Contini, Ghoulam, Luperto, Maksimovic, Rrahmani, Mario Rui, Elmas, Lobotka, Osimhen, Petagna, Politano. Coach: Gattuso

10.00 – The training surprise against Parma should be Hirving Lozano. According to what Raffaele Auriemma told on Tuttosport, in fact, the Mexican striker is one of the fittest among the Azzurri and in the last week of work in Castel Volturno he literally went wild, managing to overtake Matteo Politano for a starting shirt .

Parma, Liverani at the press conference: “Napoli must be made to suffer! Osimhen-Mertens? Good doubt, I would like it too …” (here the full press conference)

THE LATEST FROM PARMA – Liverani without the suspended Kurtic and in all likelihood of the bruised Gervinho as well as the injured Scozzarella, Gagliolo and Gazzola. In 4-3-1-2, therefore, there could be Kucka in support of the ‘heavy’ English couple and Cornelius, even if the latter is in a run-off with Karamoh. In midfield Hernani, Brugman and the former Grassi while in front of the other former Sepe line four with Darmian, Iacoponi, Alves and Pezzela.

THE LATEST FROM NAPLES – There are two ballots. The usual between the posts, with Meret this time in front of Ospina and the other that we will have to get used to this year between Osimhen and Mertens, with the Belgian who seems a thread behind and who could also be in a run-off with Politano for the right out. The choice could affect more the condition of the individuals, who hardly have 90 ‘in the legs at the first real test, compared to tactical considerations on the opponent.For the rest, few doubts about the midfield, with the usual trio Fabian, Demme, Zielinski and in defense with Koulibaly paired with Manolas, and Di Lorenzo and Mario Rui on the sides.

On the other hand, there will be a Parma that has lost the starlet Kulusevski, the driver of last season, and is essentially still on the market, also due to the expensive redemption obligations paid to Napoli (Sepe, Grassi and Inglese). There are no new faces, if not that of Fabio Liverani on the bench, who by his own admission immediately wants to bring a more open and dominant football to the match, compared to the speculative one of D’Aversa who in the restart has however obtained surprising results before saying goodbye.

A lot of curiosity for the Azzurri’s debut, stopped at the last test with Pescara since the only match against a first division team (with Sporting, in Lisbon) was missed due to the positivity of some Portuguese and became a training at Alvalade stadium. However, Napoli starts from a consolidated 11, with two ballots and one of these concerns Osimhen, the hit of the summer, and for the rest it is the team that as long as it had motivations went at great pace in the second round of last season, finishing with 38 points despite several empty passes in the final with the head to Barcelona.

Friends of Tuttonapoli.net, good morning and welcome to the direct text of Parma-Napoli, the Azzurri’s seasonal debut . The wait is over, we’re off. Napoli begins their season against Parma, which represents two defeats to redeem for Gattuso and beyond: his first on the blue bench, with the mocking ko at the end of a restart after a slip by Zielinski, and the ko on the penultimate day right at the Tardini, with a dubious rigor and a simulation of Kulusevski who still cries out for revenge.
