Naples soccer news – In Antonio Conte’s perfect toy, there are a few cogs not working so well: agent confirms immediate departure
Antonio Conte’s Napoli continues its run without looking back. The two defeats suffered against Baroni-led Lazio now seem like water under the bridge. Indeed, an important turning point has come from those setbacks: the partenopei have improved both their results and the quality of their game, which now appears more fluid and incisive.
Over the past month, Conte has made the most of the squad’s resources, finding new solutions. David Neres, who initially seemed destined for the role of a weapon in the running game, has earned a starting space thanks to his consistent performances throughout the 90 minutes. At the same time, the team could count on the return to goal of Giacomo Raspadori, who proved crucial in the challenge against Venezia.
If some redundancies are now finding more space, inevitably other players are asking to go and play elsewhere, and the arrival of the winter market window is the perfect time to relaunch: even the agent confirms the immediate transfer.
Napoli, con la Lazio l’ultima chance
Among the jarring notes at the Olimpico in the Coppa Italia, arguably Napoli’s worst performance of the season along with Verona, was definitely Alessio Zerbin. The Napoli winger played out of position because of Mazzocchi’s absence. Conte needed to send him on the field and asked the boy to do a different job to his qualities. He suffered so much on the flank from the advances of Zaccagni, Dele-Bashiru and even Hysaj, who ended up on the margins of the biancoceleste project so much that he was not even included in the Serie A list.

Zerbin has now ended up on the fringes of Conte’s project, closed both by the switch to a 4-man defense and by the rediscovered Leonardo Spinazzola, author of an excellent game in the last match against Fiorentina, which again diverted Mazzocchi to the right: for him, a transfer will inevitably come.
Napoli, Marinelli conferma: “Andrà al Venezia”
Speaking on the frequencies of Radio KissKiss, Giulio Marinelli, legal representative of Alessio Zerbin, made some statements on the future of his client, who is close to a move to Venezia on loan with an obligation conditional on the salvation of the lagunari: “The clubs are talking to each other, there has been a small slowdown by virtue of the fact that Conte’s team has had some injuries lately.”

He did not elaborate on the timing of the transfer, which is also dependent on other operations and the return of the injured, Marinelli, however, wanted to emphasize Conte’s displeasure at losing Zerbin outright in the event of Venezia’s salvation: “Being coached by Conte improved him, he had great coaches in Naples. Then when the coach gave the approval for the transfer through clenched teeth he told him he was very sorry about this transfer. He found in Alessio a player who is hungry to learn.”
