Fly high Lozano, for now more with thoughts and words than in the field. But Hirving has the right head to put behind him a gray period, his and above all the team. As a sensitive person he suffered, but he sought within himself the moral resources to get out of it. Having missed the call of the national team this round finally allowed him to concentrate on his Italian life and on Napoli. No intercontinental travel, but intense training at Castel Volturno, to get in perfect harmony in the ways and times of the game wanted by the coach Carlo Ancelotti.
MODULE CHANGE - And perhaps it is no coincidence that the expert coach is currently evaluating the possibility of tacking, aiming for 4-3-3. Whether it is the favorite form of the "old" of the team, starting with Lorenzo Insigne, there is no doubt. That the Lozano itself performs better from outside, where it can develop speed and depth of action, is also confirmed by the latest performances. In the match without goals and lots of pitfalls against Genoa, the most dangerous action started from a cross from the right of Lozano and Elmas's header, stopped by the Radu goalkeeper only shortly before the ball completely crossed the goal line. With Mertens that the striker has already done it and Insigne and the Mexican who will be able to reverse on the two bands, maybe Napoli can find brilliance and unpredictability in attack. If anything the doubt concerns the midfield, given that Ancelotti does not have - also because he has built a median with different characteristics - a central role. But Fabian Ruiz (with Spain) can and does know how to do it. But the concrete evaluation can be made by the technical staff between today and tomorrow, when all players will return from international commitments and their actual physical conditions will be assessed.
THE POET HIRVING - Lozano has to manage the waiting and pressures that rise around him: it has cost almost 50 million to Napoli (including various commissions), a more expensive purchase than ever for De Laurentiis and the fans wait for it to become decisive forward, given who scored only two goals, at Juventus and at Salzburg in the Champions League. And hoping to find the best physical condition and a more congenial tactical location, Hirving launches poetic messages from his Instagram profile. And this shows the depth of the person, capable of finding inner resources. "To leave a mark you have to touch the ground before you fly", he wrote a few days ago, and again "In silence you can understand that there are things that simply there is no need to say". "Courage is when something touches your heart, and you go on. When you are afraid, and still go. A brave person is not one who is never afraid, that is a liar. Dreams are what comes from feeling the earth under your feet. So look at life right away and tell her that if she's a whore, you are more so. " Mexico yes, but without clouds.
