Qui Naples

  To long-term patients Mathias Olivera, Nathan e Alex Meret the absences of are added Victor Osimhen e Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, who have now left for the Africa Cup of Nations 2024. On the other hand, it is seen in blue for the first time Pasquale Mazzocchi, curiously arrived with a warning already hanging over his head: the ex Salernitana However, he should only start from the bench. In reality, thanks to the absences, Walter Mazzarri, which a Turin he will be disqualified and then replaced by his deputy Nicolò Frustalupi, already has clear ideas for the formation to be deployed, once again modeled according to the 4-3-3 despite the recent leaks from Castel Volturno which hinted at a turn towards il 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1. Any discussion will probably be postponed until the market arrives with useful news in this sense, with Lazar Samardzik who is a candidate to become the crazy girl who can mess up everything in the house Napoli. For the moment we remain normal: that normality which, however, at least in this first part of the season, has no longer rhymed with play and victories, the tandem that had led the Azzurri to triumph just a few months ago. There is therefore space between the posts for a Pierluigi Gollini, protected by captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo (which during the week, through your attorney, expressed discontent with the climate created around his professional figure), Amir Rrahmani, Juan Jesus e Mario Rui: bench only for Leo Ostigard e Alexander Zanoli, which could go to Genoa as part of the negotiation that could wear blue Radu Dragusin. In the middle of the field it will be up to Jens Cajust, Stanislav Lobotka e Piotr Zielinski, with the latter increasingly in the orbit ofInter for next year, while the attack will see figure Matteo Politano, upon returning after some muscular trouble and Khvisha Kvaratskhelia in support of James Raspadori, increasingly undermined by Giovanni Simeone.

Mazzarri's statements

  Among those absent from the race Turin Mazzarri will also be there, who will observe the work of his deputy from the special stand Wolfwhips and the Azzurri, called to straighten out their external trend after the defeats against Juventus e Roma: a more difficult undertaking than expected, as well as the entire adventure of returning the Tuscan coach to the bench that made him great more than a decade ago. "Everyone here loves me and I feel at home, but I haven't managed to make the situation turn around like the first time since my arrival: I almost feel guilty and I will do everything I can to make it clear to the players, who have the burden of turn the situation around." Words only apparently of surrender before the charge sounded, with the Turin in the viewfinder. "They are a great team and among other things they concede few goals. We will have to try to put them in difficulty with the game, a bit like we did against Monza. There was a lot of bad talk about that match, but in reality we built several scoring opportunities without however realizing them." Hence the hypothesis of the launch of Simeon from the beginning at the expense of Breakers. "James he is a more maneuverable attacker, while the cholito attacks depth and is the profile most similar to osimhen. I will choose based on the opponent and the moment, but today's football is expensive and therefore whoever of the two does not play immediately will certainly enter during the match in progress". Who knows, the solution to unblock the situation at home Napoli is not the much desired (by various sources) change of module, which today would be facilitated by the arrival of Mazzocchi. "We have welcomed a very motivated and enthusiastic boy who will be able to guarantee us different tactical options, a bit like By Lorenzo, which however up until now I have always used on the right. However, I do not agree with those who see the change of module as the solution to every problem. I think back to the match with the Monza and to the many wasted opportunities: above all I mention the one that fell on the feet of Gianluca gaetano". Without osimhen the weight of the offensive burden shifts further kvaratskhelia, the star of the scudetto that no longer shines despite the measures taken by Mazzarri. "With me he comes back less and we still play with the 4-3-3: therefore, I would say that the problem is not the module".

Turin here

  From the infirmary, where the long-term patients remain Perr schuurs e Ange N'Guessan, good news is coming for Ivan Yuric from the front tied to Nikola Vlašic, who recovered from the blow he suffered Florence and is therefore ready to complete the advanced department together with Antonio Sanabria e Duvan Zapata, the great ex of the moment. They will be there in the middle of the field Samuel Ricci e Ivan Ilyich, while the fifths of 3-4-2-1 grenade they will be Raoul Bellanova e Koffi djidji, with Vanya Milinkovic-Savic between the posts and the trio composed of Adrien tameze, Alessandro Good morning e Ricardo Rodriguez for his protection.
