Reorder ideas and start again. The defeat of Turin will certainly not have been a challenge to the Napoli project. Carlo Ancelotti took advantage of the stop to assess some issues, he made a point with his technical staff to fix things after the disappointment of the Allianz Arena. Meanwhile, the United States has received confirmation of the magical moment that Hirving Lozano is experiencing: the outside has been among the protagonists of Mexico's victory against the United States (0-3). The other good new person could see it for herself, following Fernando Llorente's training: the Spanish striker is in good condition and has a great desire to be useful to the cause. And then, there is also the goal of Dries Mertens trimmed in San Marino with his Belgium. In short, comforting news arrived on Ancelotti's desk that will help him prepare for the race with Sampdoria scheduled for next Saturday at the resumption of the championship.

NEW IDEAS - The coach is evaluating them, especially regarding the offensive phase. Arek Milik has not yet recovered from the muscle problem that has kept him out for over a month, while Lorenzo Insigne has had to give up the national team due to an ailment always of muscular origin. A Castel Volturno is proceeding with caution, there is no intention to speed up the times, because on Tuesday after the Sampdoria, at the San Paolo there will be Liverpool and for that game Ancelotti wants Lorenzo available. And then there could be the possibility of seeing both Lozano and Llorente on the pitch against the Dorians. The technician is evaluating this, this is one of the solutions he has available for the offensive phase. By deploying the two new ones together, Ancelotti would guarantee speed, quality and physical strength. The Mexican exterior is a real torment for the opposing defenses, it was also for De Ligt and Bonucci in the direct clash of two Saturdays ago. Talent is undisputed, treats the ball with incredible speed, the same one that breaks the defenses in the restarts.

PHYSICAL - In this initial phase, Ancelotti has bet on guaranteed second hand, that is on Callejon and Insigne on the exteriors, Fabian Ruiz in the central position and Mertens the only offensive reference. A formula that has already guaranteed 6 goals in the first two days, 3 in Florence and 3 in Turin, even if these last ones have not been used to avoid defeat. But the coach needs to try other tactical solutions. And then, it is possible that against Sampdoria he can use Fernando Llorente. The Spaniard has arrived with great enthusiasm and is working intensely, these days. The debut in the Champions League after three days will affect the choices. The intention is to repeat the performance of last year (1-0 goal by Insigne) and to add the first three points in the standings without losing sight, however, of the championship.
