What remains of Lorenzo Insigne, that is, of a player who can no longer find himself and of whom Naples has fallen out of love. It is the sad epilogue of a relationship by now, almost, the epilogue. Last night Carlo Ancelotti gave him the last blow, when at the end of the first half he replaced him with Fernando Llorente. In the after game, the coach had no difficulty explaining the reason for his decision: "The performance was not convincing me and I preferred to change it also because I needed to modify something from a tactical point of view and I opted for Llorente".

DUMPED - No defense, then. Ancelotti has thus unloaded his captain who is unable to come out of a crisis that he was able to defeat only in parenthesis with the national team, realizing even a goal for Bosnia. His problem remains Naples. It is in these parts that Lorenzo cannot find himself, he probably feels the weight of a responsibility, that of being the only Neapolitan in this group as well as the captain of the team, which is perhaps too much for his character thickness.

OUTSIDE - Ancelotti's first provision could be the exclusion against the Genk. The temptation of the coach to leave him out in a game that could determine the future of Napoli in the Champions League and, in some respects, his, is strong. On the upside there is the listing of Milik which should be ready to return.
