Qui Naples

  Who expected a small big tear between Antonio Conte e Aurelio De Laurentiis after the elimination from the Coppa Italia, the fourth in a row in the round of 16, is destined to be disappointed in the name of a total harmony that knows no clouds on the horizon despite two fiery characters: despite the fact that during his twenty-year management the national tournament has been useful several times to fill the trophy cabinet while waiting for that championship that would only arrive in 2022-2023 season, even the owner shared the total turnover shown by his coach against the Lazio, as it has so far in truth aligned itself with all the positions taken by the new master of the headquarters of Castel Volturno, starting from the summer requests on the market. To protect is a path in the championship that has so far gone beyond all expectations, with an unexpected first place to defend from the assaults of others. In the front row is theAtalanta, which by beating the Milan he reported the virtual overtaking, but always on a virtual level theInter risks having done the same, net of a ranking burdened by an asterisk for the postponement of the match against Fiorentina. In short, there is life behind the Napoli, called to win to keep the most coveted position and to try to distance himself perhaps definitively Lazio, which a Parma in the last round life got quite complicated. If extra motivation was needed, it is impossible to forget what happened on Thursday night atOlympic: a hat-trick that knocked the Azzurri out of the only Cup available during the season, making the championship even more the only available objective. Right in the championship the Napoli will return in the best guise after the more or less expected flop of the B team. Between the posts there will be space for Alex Meret, with captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Alessandro Good morning e Mathias Olivera in defense and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka e Scott McTominay in midfield: in attack, however, it will be up to Matteo Politano, Romelu Lukaku e Khvisha Kvaratskhelia. Run-offs, just to confirm the clear ideas of Tale, zero: nothing to do, therefore, at least for a starting shirt, not even for David Neres, one of the few substitutes (and a luxury one at that) to perform with sufficiency in theOlympic. Absences, one: that of Pasquale Mazzocchi, the only player out due to injury who will likely be out until the end of the year.

Lazio here

  Between a decidedly more partial turnover and excellent responses received from the second lines, Marco Baroni risks having less clear ideas than his colleague. The first certainty is the form, the 4-3-3: the second is the disqualification of Nicolo Rovella, not by chance among the protagonists in Coppa Italia. Nothing to be done even for the injured Matias Vecino e Nuno tavares, whose absence in the goal area has so far been felt perhaps less than expected. As in fact recalled by the same Baroni, also to Parma, despite the defeat, the Biancocelesti produced a lot in the goal area, collecting decidedly less than hoped for. What happened on Thursday night could provide new ideas in the offensive area, with the candidacy of Tijjani Noslin who gains positions after a sensational hat-trick. Yet, somewhat surprisingly, the Dutchman at Maradona should start from the bench, with Valentin Castellanos ready to return to the center of the trident completed by Pedro e Mattia Zaccagni: for the latter in Coppa Italia the only sour note of the evening came with the first penalty missed in his career, even if it had no bearing on the result. The only open ballot is between Gustav Isaksen e Loum Tchaouna, with the first one slightly ahead: in the control room it should be up to Fisayo Dele Bashiru, with Matteo Guendouzi ready to complete the midfield. He will return between the posts Iván Provedel, with Manuel Lazzari, Mario gila, Alessio Romagnoli e Luca Pellegrini in defense. Not only the good news brought by the Coppa Italia: in the deck of the Lazio there is also the paper Boulaye Day, one who al Napoli he has already scored in the days of Salernitana, postponing the home team's scudetto celebrations by a few days. Old stories for everyone: for the Azzurri but also for the Senegalese himself, who came out of the last break in bad shape National but still available in case of need.
