On the eve of a complicated match with Atalanta, a sort of watershed at least in the league, Napoli found a certainty, called Alex Meret. The Friulian goalkeeper returns between the posts and for the Azzurri defenders his presence gives security. Mind you not that Ospina did badly in Ferrara, but in the last period Alex has made things out of the ordinary. Decisive with Verona and Salzburg, we are no longer talking about a prospect, but a number 1 that is also approaching the debut in the national team (at this point probable in November).

ICE EYES - It is particularly striking the coldness of this 22-year-old with eyes of ice. Which leads him to maintain a very high concentration, which combined with a great sense of position allows him to make great saves as if they were normal. In addition it has the great ability to immediately reset the gesture. This allows him not to get too excited about a positive intervention and at the same time not to be upset in case of error, which can always happen. Against the formidable Atalanta, best attack with 28 goals, you need a bastion like that. The San Paolo has now fallen in love with his goalkeeper and underlines the feats with the typical joy of scoring. And indeed certain interventions are equivalent to scored goals, due to the impact on the result. After the Reina era, which with its great empathy was a leader of the group, today the Napoli has a very different goalkeeper but equally loved by the people. Extraordinary also the impact in the Champions League, on his debut: two unbeaten matches and then in Salzburg two goals conceded (one on a penalty) but also at least three decisive saves in the Austrian victory. And with Atalanta you can taste Champions: a challenge for Meret.
