At the Letzigrund Stadion in Zurich begins the journey of Napoli in the Europa League, a real goal from here at the end of the season. This time the urn smiled at the Azzurri because they will face the third last team for pink value among those in the competition (€ 22m total value, against the 511mln of Napoli, fourth after Inter, Arsenal and Chelsea). In the modest Swiss championship, Zurich is fourth, in the Europa League preliminary stage, six points from the second place of the Basel leading into the Champions League and a full 25 points from the Young Boys first. Numbers that should not lead Napoli to underestimate the race, since there are no walks in Europe and the same Zurich in the group of Europa League - closed with second place with two shifts in advance - has beaten the Bayer home Leverkusen showing a game organized in offensive phase both in development and in high recovery.

The Swiss team is led by a very interesting technician: the very young Ludovic Magnin, 39 years old with a background as a full-back with Werder Bremen Stuttgart and of course the Swiss national team. After closing his career in Zurich, he started working with the technical staff and then spent the last year driving the first team. Technician who does not disdain the change of form, alternating between the three to four and that against Napoli should propose a 4-2-3-1, even if in the last race of the season, the derby won against Grassopphers, has proposed a 3-4-2-1. The technician is also the real leader of the group, given the many young people among whom stand out the stars Odey, born in '98 already Nigerian national team and that is also the bomber of the team and the Kosovar Benjamin Kololli, outside by 9 goals and 7 assists so far and that is the player with the highest value of the rose.

Two precedents against Swiss teams between the Uefa Cup and Europa League, and never a goal in Switzerland: it is the taboo that has to dispel Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli. The last one goes back to 2014 against the Young Boys with Napoli of Benitez that during the group phase lost in the Swiss house but then passed the group however arriving in the semifinals. The other precedent refers to the 1989-90 season on the Wettingen field for a 0-0 (the Azzurri will win the 2-1 return) and then be eliminated in the second round by Werder Bremen.

THE LATEST ABOUT ZURICH - Magnin should propose the former Empoli Untersee on the right in the line with Nef and Bangura in the middle and Maxso on the left. Domgjoni and Kryeziu in midfield with later Winter, Marchesano and Kololli behind the tip Odey. The alternative is the transition to the defense to three for a 3-4-1-2, as in the last race of the season, inserting Kharabadze on the left and raising the Kosovar Kololli as a point alongside Odey

THE LATEST ABOUT NAPLES - Reduced rotations for Ancelotti who also has countless players in many roles. Out Albiol and then again Maksimovic-Koulibaly. Out Mario Rui and then Ghoulam on the left and Malcuit on the right, but it is not excluded that Hysaj can be moved to the left if the Algerian was not ready for another 90 '. In attack Insigne-Mertens while in the midfield the biggest doubts: at the center Diawara undermines Allan and especially Fabian while on the left lanes should be confirmed Zielinski and Callejon right side favorite on Ounas.
