Sanabria's celebration (Ansa)

Turin, 7 January 2024 - He made the admission in a press conference Mazzarri, today disqualified and replaced on the bench by the deputy Wolfwhips: his care on the Napoli Not working. Another proof of this consideration is offered by the sensational collapse against the Turin, who won by a landslide thanks to the goals of Sanabria, vlasic e Good morning and it takes to -1 ranked since ninth place precisely of the Azzurri, for whom instead it is night and not even good, just as the debut of was to be forgotten Mazzocchi: for the ex Salernitana the debut arrives and after just 4' the expulsion for a very hard foul on Lazaro, among the best of the Granata together with the former footings, who serves two assists.

The official lineups

Juric launches the usual 3-4-1-2, opened by Milinkovic-Savic: the defense is completed by Djidji, Good morning e Rodriguez, with Bellanova e Lazaro as fifths, Ricci e ilic in the middle of the field and vlasic in support of the attack tandem formed by Sanabria e footings. Mazzarri responds with a 4-3-3 that he foresees between the posts Gollini, protected by By Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus e Mario Rui: the median includes Cfit, Lobotka e Zielinski, while the advanced department is made up of politan, Breakers e kvaratskhelia.  

First half

Il Napoli goes on the attack, trying to implement rational ball-on-the-ground actions, while the Turin, as expected, tries to rely on long throws from Milinkovic-Savic. At 6' footings he wins a couple of rebounds at the three-quarter height and then launches a shot towards Gollini, who is not surprised: shortly afterwards we go to see vlasic, which eludes the pressure of kvaratskhelia and attempts a shot towards the near post, without managing to hit the target. In the 11th minute the Azzurri earn a corner, the development of which leads to the header Rrahmani: nothing that could worry you too much Milinkovic-Savic. On the turnaround in front a cross from Lazaro is soiled by By Lorenzo, becoming almost an assist for footings: Gollini he comes out early and avoids trouble for his team, who remain at the mercy of the grenade attacks. In the 20th minute, in fact, Bellanova drinking Juan Jesus and puts in a low cross made almost lethal by a veil of footings: almost, because vlasic contact with the ball is incredibly lacking. At 22' Juan Jesus he redeems himself by blocking the blow of Ricci, served by vlasic, in turn caught by a cross of Lazaro. After a long phase of suffering the Napoli tries to come out of the hole in the 26th minute with a great plot between Zielinski e By Lorenzo, which penetrates and triggers Breakers, whose tap-in is rejected big time by Milinkovic-Savic: soon after Cfit set the table again for Breakers, who this time looks for the near post but misses the target. The Turin, after protesting about an alleged contact in the area between Sanabria e Lobotka, he rushes forward again with footings, which centers and crosses for Bellanova, who launches towards the tap-in almost without fail before being preceded by Mario Rui. The grenades continue to be preferred and first tremble on an alleged contact in their area between Lazaro e Zielinski and then they celebrate in the 43rd minute, when ilic takes charge of taking a free kick from the midfield: footings deflects the sphere just enough to make it irresistible for Sanabria, who in perfect solitude inflates the net and sends the teams to the locker rooms on a 1-0 which seems to photograph well what was shown in the first half.

Second half  

 Il Napoli he returns to the field without it Zielinski, taken over by the new purchase Mazzocchi: sign of the turn of Mazzarri (disqualified and replaced on the bench by deputy Frustralupi) towards a 3-4-3 that sees By Lorenzo right arm and the former Salernitana as fifth. The impact of the new face is strong, in both senses: first after a great gallop peach Breakers, who coordinates but is unable to kick due to the great anticipation of Bellanova and then, after on field review of Mariani, in the 49th minute he was sent off for a foul with a high leg up Lazaro. The blow is heavy for the Azzurri, who in fact capitulate in the 52nd minute, when footings search and find vlasic, who with a powerful diagonal shot makes a hole Gollini. Mazzarri changes again: outthe Mario Rui e Breakers It's inside Zerbin e Simeon, while a very nervous person remains on the pitch kvaratskhelia, already pardoned by Mariani during a dramatic protest. The Turin he persists and in the 64th minute he almost gets the knockout blow first with Sanabria which, served by Lazaro, hits the post and then with footings, who is hypnotized by two steps away Gollini. The hat trick is in the air and arrives in the 66th minute, when still Lazaro from the flag set for the winning gore of Good morning, good at overcoming Juan Jesus. Mazzarri inserts Lindstrom for politan during a suspension of the game due to the throwing of smoke bombs from the away section. Also Juric change, inserting Pilgrims for footings e Sazonov for Djidji, while Mazzarri throw into the fray Gaetano for Cfit. The Napoli, also to try to respond to the complaint received, tries to find the goal of the flag: in the 80th minute everything happens in the Granata area, but neither kvaratskhelia nor Zerbin they hit the target. Juric also gives glory to karamoh, Gineitis e Seck, who take over from vlasic, ilic e Sanabria. These are the latest changes to a scoreboard that clearly rewards the Turin, which finds that important victory necessary to try to give itself new seasonal prospects: the standings speak for themselves, which at the moment see the Granata just one point behind the Azzurri, for whom it is the middle of the night and this time without even the support of the square. One more problem for De Laurentiis, which does not receive exactly the desired feedback from the market: Mazzocchi, a significant investment in proportion to his age, enters and immediately commits an absurd foul which inexorably complicates life for his new team. Not exactly a memorable debut for the ex Salernitana.
