Two goals, four woods and at least as many unused opportunities to close the first race and avoid the last minutes of suffering. A show that yesterday of Napoli that, after a balanced start, despite four heavy absences that made you think of the worst - Koulibaly in defense, Allan and Hamsik in midfield and Insigne in attack - then took the race against Lazio and managed to highlight all the limits of Inzaghi's formation. Crossing the posts of Milik on a terrifying turn, then a deflected header on the post, before the goal of Callejon that breaks the curse finding the first goal after 23 days with an insertion and a dry right that in the end is for years in his features.

The advantage further accentuates the tactical plan. Without Koulibaly, the fastest defender in 'running backwards' with the high defense - considering Lazio's strength mainly in open field transitions with the strikers - Ancelotti presents a Napoli with a low center of gravity, removing any space and exposing itself more what else to cross on Milinkovic, a couple of times dangerous. The doubling is a matter of minutes, with Napoli having a leg on the side with the choice of starting with Malcuit and Mario Rui, but comes only on punishment, with another stroke of Milik, arrived at 11 in the league (average goal of a network every 97 ').

In the second half the picture does not change, but Napoli has the demerit of not closing the game and also the misfortune because Callejon to the count of the woods adds a cross with a lob of head on Strakosha and Fabian almost throws down the door with a cross of poles with beaten goalkeeper. The goal of Immobile reopens the game, even if the two yellow for Acerbi - probably excessive, while the reds are missing to Bastos and Lulic for much more serious interventions - allow the Napoli to continue to push in search of the third goal that does not arrive and to manage without worries up to the last crosses in recovery. An important victory, securing the second place, but emblematic of the management of Ancelotti who made up for the absences of the three highest quality players with alternatives with important minutages that translated means in good condition and integration in the mechanisms. Important news ahead of the arrival of the Europa League: this Napoli on the twenty-four players used can, with your eyes closed, count on at least twenty elements.
