Naples entered an unstoppable dynamic. Antonio Conte announced in the preview that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the team’s big star, asked the club to leave this month. The coach decided not to call him up but, without the Georgian winger, his teammates achieved a convincing victory against Verona (2-0) which cemented them at the top of Serie A, with 4 points against Inter, although they have two games in hand , and 5 at Atalanta, who have one to spare after their 0-0 draw on Saturday in Udine.
In Matteo Politano and David Neres On the wings, Napoli soon put themselves on the road to victory with a lucky, albeit well-executed, move. Romelu Lukaku lingered on the balcony of the place Giovanni DiLorenzo, whose shot repelled the post. The rebound hit behind the goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò and the ball reaches the net.
auspicious purpose
It was the 5th minute but Napoli continued to exercise almost total dominance in a dynamic and intense game. A little while longer André-Frank Zambo Anguissa He squandered a clear chance to make it 2-0 by shooting high on a rare opportunity to score.
Verona seemed to take the measure of the game as the minutes ticked away and were dangerous on its first arrival, which ended Casper Tengstedt with a relatively high header.
It’s a mirage. Naples, very good physically, again did not give a single concession to the rival throughout the match. He might even go into the break with a bigger advantage otherwise Scott McTominay, like Zambo Anguissa, also finished high with ground in favor after David Neres’ delayed ball half an hour into the game.
Zambo Anguissa sentence
After the restart, Napoli came out determined to put the game to bed. In just five minutes, he had three chances, a shot by McTominay that was repelled by Montipò and a double header from central defender Amir Rrahmani after two corners. The first was taken by Davide Faraoni on the line and the second missed the mark.
Naples were in control of the game and the consolation goal came after the hour mark. Lukaku, at 1-0, returned the pass to Zambo Anguissa on his run and The Cameroonian referred to a whiplash.
Napoli were never threatened by a rival with no ideas which showed why they are 17th, one point away from the relegation positions. On the other hand, Conte’s team achieved their fifth victory in the league.
