The day after Naples – Spal. The march of the blues continues. Last night, fifth consecutive victory, three goals and four captains. From the driver Insigne, to the workaholic Callejon, passing through the giant Koulibaly up to the soldier Hysaj who, will also have his technical limits, but he runs and sweats like few others.
The day after Naples – Spal. Ciro Mertens opens it masterfully served by Fabianz Ruiz. In the Belgian’s goal, there is a large part of his immense repertoire: attack of the depth with the right times, a look at the outgoing goalkeeper and the technique to overcome him with a lob. The doubling is by Callejon, stop oriented by true champion and ball in the corner. All very difficult, but all done by the Spanish with a disarming simplicity. Network number 81 of his Neapolitan septennate. Before we let him go, we should think about 81 times seven, his shirt number. Seriousness and professionalism always and however put at the service of the team. Never a word out of place. Tactical intelligence out of the ordinary. There have changed coaches, but for him always a starting shirt. There will be a reason. One like this should be kept for life. He would also contribute from behind a desk. The race ends Younes as soon as he enters, also served by Fabian Ruiz with a millimeter throw.
The day after Naples – Spal. As anticipated by Gattuso, space for everyone. Jersey also for Lobotka. The Slovakian does not miss the opportunity and tries hard. He always manages to be in the ball area, plays a simple and clean football that allows the ball to spin quickly. Still unripe Elmas, he alternates excellent play, his assist for Callejon yesterday evening, to others a little less. Fabian Ruiz certainly benefited from the geometries of the former and the dynamism of the latter, who with his left foot started to paint football in the opposing trocar. His season finale is growing.
The day after Naples – Spal. The swirl of exchange rates did not affect the three attackers: Mertens, Callejon and Insigne. The first two hit the mark, breaking the 200 goal mark in their seven years in Naples. To tell the truth, Insigne also went on goal, the goal canceled for an unlikely offside by Mertens author of the assist. Too bad that only the referees could see it. To the paying public from home, it wasn’t shown, so most likely it wasn’t there. The captain deserved this satisfaction. Since the season started again, he is definitely the true driver of the team.
The day after Naples – Spal. The numbers tell of a team that, with the arrival of Gattuso, has found soul, legs and results. In the second round, the blues are second. The unfortunate numbers were those at the beginning of the season that ended up compromising the path of this team in a tournament that could have held other satisfactions. Thursday the blues will try to shorten on Atalanta. Twelve points of detachment, considering the value of the respective roses, appear really many.
