Blue midfielder threatens to get Napoli in trouble, newspapers fail him: details.
Phillip Billing risked becoming the cover man of Napoli-Milan. Entering the field in the 65′ minute to replace Anguissq, the Danish midfielder was the protagonist of the penalty episode awarded by Sozza to Milan.
His was the intervention on Theo Hernandez, who fell and won the penalty kick for the Rossoneri, later missed by Gimenez. After Meret’s save, Billing thanked the Azzurri goalkeeper in dialect with a “Thank you fratm.” Sympathetic slapstick to say the least, but not enough for the newspapers to promote Billing’s performance.

Booted by major sports newspapers, Phillip Billing disappoints against Milan and causes the penalty that could have led to the Rossoneri’s equalizer. Gimenez’s error graces the Azzurri midfielder.

Gazzetta dello Sport, grade 5: “In for Anguissa and in the same area where he was hero against Inter he naively knocks Theo down. Meret saves him, but he doesn’t recover.”
Corriere dello Sport, rated 5.5: “This time the impact is negative: he enters and draws a penalty foul on Theo Hernandez.”
Tuttosport, rated 5.5: “The penalty foul on Theo is as blatant as it is naive. Thank Meret.”
Republic, grade 5: “Bungling and absent-minded.”
The Morning, rated 5: “Irritating his approach to the match: he commits a penalty foul by dabbing the clever Theo.”
Corriere della Sera, grade 5: “Naivety could have cost him dearly, entered very recently he goes catapulting onto Theo and causes an awkward penalty that Meret parries. He has to split wood in the middle of the field but has no strength.”
