What an ugly Napoli! It does not go beyond the draw in what the predictions of the eve indicated as the simplest race. Instead, the Genk frightened Ancelotti and his family, returned them to the criticism that cannot be spared due to the quality of the game expressed and the inefficiency of some of the most popular players on this team, starting with Lozano, passing by Allan and Fabian Ruiz to finish, then, in Milik that continues to disappoint. But it is on the whole that this Naples continues to disappoint.

THE INSIGNE CASE - At the announcement of the official formations is missing Insigne, even in the stands: this is the news that is commented so by the d.s. Cristiano Giuntoli: "There must not be any such fuss, we have a team of talented players, this rule of 18 condemns us a little, because we have so many guys who can play. The coach made this choice from the beginning, he preferred a a little bit shrewd team with a stronger midfield player and on the bench he opted for two pure strikers, one of size and one little like Mertens. It was a technical and tactical choice, testifying to a very wide and valid squad ".

FIRST HALF - The concerns of the eve confessed by Carlo Ancelotti are legitimate, throughout the first half Napoli is overwhelmed by the Genk offensive. However, he manages to touch the goal on three occasions. The first, on 15 minutes, when Mario Rui's cross was impacted by Callejon, but the ball ended up on the post. On the rebound there goes Milik he splinters the crossbar. The Polish striker will be the flop of the first 45 minutes, because on his head there are two more clean goal balls (25 'and 38'), but on the first he hits the crossbar and on the second he puts out a few meters. The Genk is a fury, pushing and putting the Neapolitan defense into turmoil. On 20 minutes, a shot from outside Hrosoviski found Cuesta's deflection and the ball almost touched the post. Naples has trouble organizing the game and taking away the initiative from the opponent. At the end of the first half, it is still the Genk to touch the goal: Berge's shot, deflected by Koulibaly, calls Meret to the feat. We go to rest.

IN ATTACK - The second half began with a header from Hagi high over the crossbar (4 '). Napoli tries to dare and advances its range of action by a few meters. There is a bit more pressure and Callejon has a good ball on the right for the advantage, but he blatantly misses it by kicking to the side. Ancelotti from the ok for the entrance of Mertens. Everyone expects Milik to come out and instead the coach calls Elmas to the bench. It is a Naples voted even more to the attack. And, in effect, the Genk locks itself in its own half, suffering the pressure of the opponent who, however, cannot find the winning solution.
