He will not be able to be present in the next game: the defection, which also affects Napoli, became official just in these minutes.
A high-tension finale, with a beautiful dream carved in the heart: in these last three games remaining between now and the end of the Serie A championship, Napoli is called upon to give its all to give itself a goal that at the starting tapes of the season now underway seemed really complicated even to assume. Instead, with the egregious work put in place by Antonio Conte and his staff, that desire is becoming an increasingly within reach goal.
Sunday night at the Maradona will face Genoa, while in the other two scheduled matches the opponents will be Parma and Cagliari. In particular, news arrives related to the Emiliani, who will host the Azzurri in their last away match of the season next week. Chivu’s team is now on the pitch in the delicate salvation match against Empoli and during the first half lost one of its starters to double caution. Two fatal yellows for Lautaro Valenti, who will therefore have to be unavailable for the next one at home against, precisely, Napoli.
Napoli-De Bruyne: il giornalista non ha dubbi
Parma-owned defender Lautaro Valenti will not be among the roster for the challenge against Napoli due to the double caution he picked up in tonight’s match against Empoli.
The player was cautioned twice in a row in a matter of minutes, with the second intervention on Esposito on the edge of the penalty area being fatal for the 1999 class. Chivu will therefore have to do without one of his starters in a match that, pending what will be the results of the day’s Serie A championship now underway, could be important for the Emilians in terms of salvation (should the team still not be out of danger, arithmetically speaking).
Match that, regardless of how it turns out with Genoa on Sunday night at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, will surely be crucial for Napoli’s dreams of glory, which now sees the Scudetto just seven points away.
“Sicuramente Conte vuole appropriarsi di De Bruyne per farlo giocare insieme a Lukaku in un modulo dove possano giocare entrambi. Sicuramente se il giocatore verrà inserito in un sistema che lo permetta di esprimersi al meglio potrà fare la differenza, nonostante sia alla fine della sua carriera e quindi non potrà assicurare sempre la sua presenza in campo. Non avrà il fattore fisico come quello di McTominay ma se è nelle condizioni giuste allora potrà essere al 100% della sua forma fisica. Nell’affare pesa anche la volontà del giocatore di vendetta verso il Manchester City per come è stato trattato dal club nonostante in 10 anni che ha giocato a Manchester ha avuto sempre rispetto. Il giocatore vuole riscattarsi adesso in un nuovo campionato e con una nuova squadra”, ha concluso Tavolieri.
