Today the last of the championship is played, but Ancelotti is already thinking about the future and his Napoli must be reinforced on the defensive exteriors, where he has paid duty at certain levels this season: from the challenges with Juventus and those with Liverpool and Arsenal in Europe, all lost. The technical and experience rate must be raised. And for this reason the coach convinced President Aurelio De Laurentiis to focus strongly on Kieran Trippier, Tottenham's right-footer and the English national, who will be the next protagonist in the final at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid, Saturday 1 June. Trippier - that some jolly fan on wikipedia has already "bought" for Napoli - will turn 29 in September.

EXPERIENCE - Usually Aurelio De Laurentiis focuses on prospective players, but now the president has let himself be convinced by his coach. From the suggestion of Daniele De Rossi to that of the return of Fabio Quagliarella, now Naples has a somewhat different strategy. Ilicic himself is about 32 years old and yet Naples treats him. The same Trippier in September will turn 29. The negotiation with the English club promises to be anything but easy, but just from the media across the Channel confirm the willingness of the player to move to Naples. Meanwhile, the ds Cristiano Giuntoli keeps alive other tracks for the right outside, in this case the homegrown ones that lead to Manuel Lazzari, 25 years of Spal, best of the role in our Serie A; and Giovanni Di Lorenzo, also 25 years old, who is playing salvation at San Siro with Empoli and that if the Tuscans reach the goal it will be one of those to be thanked, as he has scored 3 winning goals in the last 8 races Empoli.

IN MANY ROLES— But perhaps the most important negotiation, due to the tactical flexibility of the player, is the one that leads to the 23-year-old Belgian Timothy Castagne. Here too it is up to waiting for the Champions. In the sense of what chases Atalanta. In the Thursday summit at the Ancelotti di Castagne house there was talk, also because the ability to play indifferently outside right or left, or even in the median, is very pleasing to the technician and also to the president. And for the left-hand lane, where Ancelotti reconfirms Ghoulam but not Mario Rui, there is also a speech with Real Madrid for Theo Hernandez, a French-Spanish 22-year-old, physically lending, who last season played for Real Sociedad . In short, the Napoli that will have to go faster and faster on the outside lanes. And together with the speed it will have to improve the technical rate and experience.
