Azzurri always first, but with difficulty- Corriere.it
Derby switched to Arechi, Kastanos sent off with Var and Koulibaly
Without and with, the substantial difference. Why Osimhen shifts the balance,
d strength and rhythm. It takes the physical. And above all it always finds the right way. He is not here Napoli struggles with Arechi against Salernitana, but in the end Spalletti wins the game which is probably the most difficult, but also the worst, of his management. He reaches, uphill, the attic where he has decided to settle his team. The boys have a different match from all the others – he said – the shirt must be filled with many things: shoulders, second balls. They adapted and it was a demonstration of growth. Net of a dirty match, full of interruptions, with two expulsions, one on each side. And above all the lightness of Koulibaly that conspicuously keeps Simy launched at the net.
Salernitana interprets her game better behind the line of the ball and starts off on the counterattack, clinging to Ribery’s technique and experience. Napoli lacks the center forward with an easy goal (injured) and also lacks the imagination of Lorenzo Insigne, out for technical choice. Then Spalletti explains: No case, he has a muscular muscle and was in danger of getting hurt.
Mertens has lost the shine of the fake nine and Zielinski struggles a lot in the tight spaces: wastes an opportunity from two steps at the start of the match, then becomes decisive almost by chance with the goal of the advantage in a second half encountered. The derby is a tough, hard-fought game: Colantuono’s team takes the chair in the first half by defensive order, not even leaving the air in the narrow spaces of the small area. As the minutes go by, the Salernitana fills her reservoir of courage and resourcefulness. He resists in defense and aims towards the goal defended by Ospina.
Spalletti makes the difference with the changes: inside Elmas and Petagna in place of Mertens and Lozano, absolutely harmless. Thus was born the action of the goal of the advantage, with Petagna hitting the crossbar, Mario Rui trying to hit back and Zielinski taking advantage of it. The other striker becomes so decisive in the action and despite Spalletti at the start preferred Mertens to him, he smiles. I’m happy not to have left Naples, this strong team. Here, the force. A claim that all Napoli players repeat over and over. Until he is convinced that he really is. Ten victories in the first eleven games, the penthouse an asset that has been achieved so far on the field.
The merits also go to Salernitana, who played beyond his real possibilities and made life difficult at Napoli. Coach Colantuono: We risked almost nothing, and after having conceded the goal we could even equalize. valid for the law of the strongest, that of Naples.
