Di Lorenzo “robot” captain of Napoli: two possible substitutes. New role for Zerbin?
The defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo an immovable holder of the team of Luciano Spalletti. The Tuscan also studies alternative solutions.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo so far he has played in all the Napoli matches both in the league and in the Champions League. In the last game of the Azzurri, however, the one against Ajax, valid for the third day of the continental competition for the most important club, the “robot” captain left his place, but only in the final minutes of the match, for Alessandro Zanoli. The right-back has had a very good impact on the game, proposing himself well on his band of young competence. However, the result was already marked in favor of Napoli.
One of the very few question marks in Luciano Spalletti’s new Napoli is the following: can Alessandro Zanoli really replace a strong player like Giovanni Di Lorenzo? Last season he didn’t convince everyone. It must be said, however, that the Tuscan coach, in the double retreat of the Campania region both in Dimaro and in Castel di Sangro, has also Alessio Zerbin in that role despite the latter being more of a wing. The results were positive. Spalletti, also in Castel Volturno, has pulled back the former Frosinone.
