Napoli trims four of them at Fiorentina and responds with a victory to the success of Juventus. Three very heavy points, won thanks to the better technical quality and the strength of the offensive trident who delighted with his plays. A show that Insigne, double success, and Callejon and Mertens, authors of the other two goals, were able to guarantee. Too bad for Fiorentina, which fell in the second half of the second half, when it conceded two goals to Napoli in as many starts. The regret remains, for Montella and his family, for the rigor granted to Mertens that the referee Massa practically invented. And the regret remains, because on the night of the beginnings of Boateng (a goal) and Ribery, Viola would have deserved better luck.
ATTACK BABY - Vincenzo Montella relies on a very young trident, the "elder" is Federico Chiesa, born in 1997. The other two are Sottil (1999) and Vlahovic (2000). On the other hand, Carlo Ancelotti does not present any news with respect to the announced training. Behind Mertens, Callejon, Fabian Ruiz and Insigne act. Also confirmed the 4-2-3-1 which will be the module for this season. The purple youth will have to deal with one of the most granitic couples of the A series, that is, Manolas-Koulibaly. Fiorentina, on the other hand, opposes Pezzella and Milenkovic to the offensive power of Naples.
PURPLE ADVANTAGE - Fiorentina's fired start creates uneasiness to the Neapolitan rearguard. On the right, Di Lorenzo is damned suffering from church speed, while Mario Rui is disorientating on the left-hand strip. Just 4 minutes pass and Zielinski with his wide arm touches the ball in the penalty area. Massa does not whistle and the action continues, but the Var calls him back: review the action, Valeri advises him and he runs to the monitor. The images show the touch of the Polish midfielder, the rigor is unexceptionable. Pulgar goes to the beat (9 ’) who displaces Meret. The disadvantage annoys Naples. Allan and Callejon are the first two to suffer the yellow card followed shortly before half an hour by Mario Rui. The rhythm imposed by Fiorentina is remarkable, but it also costs a lot of energy. The first shot towards Dragowski's goal is Koulibaly, but the conclusion is deflected (31 ’).
THE DRAW - The Ancelotti collective tries to resume it, the game. The offensive trident puts it on a technical level and something changes. Allan and Zielinski's pressure forces the median villa to retreat, while Chiesa and Sottil remain high, ready to start the counter-attack. Napoli, however, found the equalizer at 38 ', when Insigne supported Mertens at the edge of the area. Badelj remains on his feet giving the Belgian striker the chance to turn around and put Dragowski with a right to turn.
LANDING - It runs the minute 40 'when in a confused action in the Florentine area, Mertens searches for and does not find contact with Castrovilli. Massa goes straight to the spot and waits for the Var, Valeri, to confirm his decision after a minute. Insigne goes to the goal the goal of the Neapolitan advantage. The images, however, show instead that Castrovilli does not touch Mertens at all and that the Neapolitan attacker even simulates. In short, the error of Massa and Valeri is inconceivable.
BARREL AND ANSWER - At the beginning of recovery emotions are not lacking, Fiorentina starts again with the same spirit as the first half and pours into the Neapolitan half field. It was on 4 ', when Pulgar beats the flag, Milenkovic soared higher than Koulibaly and hit the net for 2-2: Meret was not at fault. The race grows and at times becomes even spectacular, because the Neapolitan trident wants to demonstrate its superiority. In fact, at 11 ', it is up to Callejon with a right diagonal to cross, to bring the Napoli back in the lead. But it's not over here. Yes, because Montella calls Vlahovic back on the bench to insert Boateng: we are on 16 '. And four minutes later it is the new one who comes in to surprise Meret with a right diagonal. The ball slams on the pole and ends up on the net. Well, you think, the draw could be good for both. Nah. Fiorentina does not even have time to celebrate the draw reached that this time it is up to Insigne to head the fourth Neapolitan goal (22 ’) into the net. The action is another small masterpiece of Neapolitan trident technique.
