Qui Naples

Not only the recurring rumors about a possible change on the bench: the break also brought bad news from the infirmary, but not all of which can be traced back to the much-maligned National. It's an exception Victor Osimhen, which stopped during Saudi Arabia-Nigeria: the blue striker is expected to have a stoppage that is neither short nor trivial, to the point that some speculate that he will return to the field even after the next break, that of late November. Then there they are Juan Jesus e Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, who instead got injured while wearing the shirt Napoli: all three will be out of action against the Verona, thus delivering a Garcia a formation in which a key player for each role will be missing. If this is the bad news, the good news concerns the return from the infirmary: that of Amir Rrahmani, who should immediately regain his place in defense next to Nathan and Pierluigi Gollini, who should instead remain on the bench despite the rumors they see Alex Meret in the balance after a few presumed mistakes too many. The full-backs will instead be captains Giovanni Di Lorenzo e Mario Rui: for the latter the long negative phase which has often seen him succumb in the run-off with should therefore come to an end Mathias Olivera, upon returning after the long journey fromUruguay. He is obviously immovable in the control room Stanislav Lobotka, assisted by Jens Cajust (undermined by Eljif Diamond) to Piotr Zielinski, while the great ex of the day will be placed at the center of the attack Giovanni Simeone, assisted by Matteo Politano e Khvisha Kvaratskhelia. For the leading role, pay attention to the prices of James Raspadori, clearly rising after the good feedback provided to the court of Luciano Spalletti.

Garcia's statements

The presentation of the challenge against the Verona but also and above all the desire to defend one's actions: this is the gist of the press conference Garcia, who for once puts down the violin and grabs a much more rock instrument. "I want to focus on tomorrow's match, but a premise is a must. I am serene and calm and I want to underline this because I would never want my personal response to be interpreted as a symptom of nervousness. Obviously I didn't appreciate the post Fiorentina: there was a great lack of respect towards me. I received the support of the journalists and fans I met: for the rest - continues the French coach - I found everything very disproportionate, despite having admitted that certain things in that match could have been done better. Having said this, I am disappointed by the lack of collaborative attitude towards myself and my staff: I take note of this and will make the necessary reflections". Everyone will be able to imagine the recipients of this sentiment. Garcia, as promised, moves on to the presentation of the challenge against the Verona: challenge marked by very heavy absences. “Everyone talks about the lack of osimhen, but I also highlight the absence of Anguissa: considering that in front we are covered thanks to Simeon e Breakers, I'm more worried about the midfield, because Cfit has different characteristics. Regardless of the absences, it will be a very tough match. We will have to continue on the path traced in the last few games, but be better with and without the ball, because we will have a team that concedes few goals: in particular at home, thanks to the support of their fans". From the absentees to the returnees: among them there 'is that of Rrahmani, ready to restore solidity to the Azzurri defense. Yes, but paired with who? "Amir he has recovered and can play immediately, although obviously caution is needed in these cases: in recent weeks we have worked precisely following this dictate. He can take the field with either Nathan with either Ostigard. In reality, I am happy with both of them, but for the future I hope to be able to count on a stronger defense: we will have many close games and it would be important to recover as well. Juan Jesus". In short, there is harmony between Garcia and his players: with the general hope of no longer seeing any gestures of annoyance after the substitutions. "In fact it is a topic that was discussed together with our president yesterday." President who, needless to say, is present alongside the French coach, now under special surveillance also in communications.

Here Verona

To confirm the name of 'fatal Verona' Marco Baroni he has quite clear ideas at least as regards the unavailable players: they are in fact still out of action Juan David Cabal e Jayden braaf, while Isaac Hien he is ready to take back his place in defense despite having to win the run-off with diego coppola. The rest of the rearguard to protect Lorenzo Montipo will consist of Giangiacomo Magnani e Bruno Amione. They will be there in the middle of the field Ondrej Duda e Michael Folorunsho: for the latter, of school Napoli, the match will obviously be special. The fifths will be Philip Terracciano e Darko Lazovic, while on the trocar Riccardo saponara insidiousness Tomás Suslov: the other box will be occupied by Cyril Ngonge, while for the leading role Federico Bonazzoli is ahead on Milan Djuric.
