The Insigne case engages the Champions League pre-match. Missing just over an hour at the start of the challenge with Genk, when the news begins to spread that the captain will not play. He may have had a resentment during the warm-up, they say, but the hypothesis makes no sense, because the team has not yet arrived at the camp. When the coach enters the anti-stadium all eyes are on the players who gradually go down and slip into the corridor leading to the locker rooms. Here, Lorenzo Insigne, the look does not tell anything good, the captain's face is dark, not even a smile. The step is shipped, should not have physical problems. The official comes from a source inside the company: Insigne is fine, but goes to the stands because the athletic tests sustained in these days have shown a precarious state, not yet at the highest levels. Therefore, it is a technical exclusion. A strong choice, Ancelotti has launched a decisive signal to the whole group: those who do not prove to be well, to be reactive, will remain outside, there will be no regard for anyone, not even for the captain blue. "Insigne went to the stands because I saw him less brilliant and ready and I preferred to keep him out and prepare him for the next game," said Carlo Ancelotti quickly dismissing the argument in the immediate post-game.
