Kostas Manolas will have little to get excited about. He is an experienced player, from the A series knows almost everything, he met her with Roma, where he played five consecutive seasons, a more or less long period to feel ready to face the new adventure with Napoli. It will not be so for Giovanni Di Lorenzo, 26, two fewer than the former Romanist. But it's not a question of age, because his emotions have something different. The defender, in fact, is new in the category, he only met her last season, with Empoli, relegated at the end of the championship. Di Lorenzo was born from the intuition of Cristiano Giuntoli, from him the signaling started for Carlo Ancelotti who immediately gave the okay for his engagement. It will be up to the former Empoli to take over the tasks that last year were Hysaj and Malcuit. And he will have to guarantee that something extra in the two phases, as the coach requires.

NEW FACES - Those of Di Lorenzo and Manolas will be the only new faces, assuming that Elmas will start from the bench. In fact, the Naples market is in a waiting phase, De Laurentiis is waiting for Mauro Icardi's response. If it were negative, then Giuntoli would divert his attention to Fernando Llorente, with whom he has a general agreement: the Spanish striker will wait until the end of this week.

BARRIER - There is great expectation for the Manolas-Koulibaly "wall". The Greek national was hired to replace Raul Albiol who, at 34, decided to return to his country and accepted Villarreal's offer. Manolas and Koulibaly ensure physical strength and speed. It will be their task to redeem the desires of Fiorentina's strikers, the opponent of the first day. A sort of preparation for what will be the direct confrontation already scheduled on the second day. Napoli will play at the Allianz Stadium, against Juventus, and by that date Di Lorenzo and Manolas will, by force of circumstances, have passed the acclimatization phase.
