S7-016 - Napoli Resurgence - 5 Wins on the Bounce

Gateano Sollazzo and Daniel Russo join Joe Fischetti to discuss Napoli’s 2-1 victory over Juventus, following wins against Atalanta,Qarabag, Roma and Calgiari, including:

Part 1

• How the additions of David Neres and Noa Lang have injected much needed pace and creativity into the Partenopei’s against, allowing Rasmus Højlund to get back onto the score sheet
• How the 3-4-3 has improved the Napoli defence, giving more coverage to the wing backs and allowing the centre back to be more aggressive, sometimes even joining the attack
• Suffocating opposition attacking with an intense high press, then dropping into a very organized and structured defence after taking the lead

Part 2

• An important new role for Eljif Elmas, who did a fantastic job deputizing for Stanislav Lobotka and Billy Gilmour in the number 6 position
• Other standout performances, including Mathias Olivera and Scott McTominay, who continues to be a critical part of the team, even when he’s not scoring goals
• Spalletti’s uninspiring return to Napoli - perhaps he’s the latest double agent after Cristiano Giuntoli
• Quick look ahead to the Benfica match
