Napoli will not win today from a source inside the Parthenopeans staff
I wonder if Conte knows how to play his team against a parked bus? Most teams have no clue that in such situations it is essential to move the ball quickly with a one-touch passing game especially after turnovers AND alternate between 3 attacking schemes: 1. go down the wings (most effective) and instead of centering the ball (for which the defense is prepared) you pass it backwards to create a shooting situation for a teammate arriving in the second wave (after the forwards playing a decoy inside the penalty box area). 2. make the defense guess by attacking sometimes directly, vertically into the centerforward running in the free channels (either with a flat ball, or over the top), so that he can hang on to the ball and pass it back for a long distance shot once again through the middle, AND 3. allow every once in a while your opponent to possess the ball to lure him into a false sense of security and then suddenly put a pressure onto your opponent to produce an unexpected turnover
@Zoltan you have a great analysis dude, you will be a great manager !!!
more fun, bts+over. Away win after drama or not at all
@koziol.mutant You clearly haven't done your homework on Empoli with the 2nd best defensive record overall in Seria A, and the top defensive record in its home games (0 goals received)! Their keeper boasts the best save percentage in Seria A (84%).
@Zoltan Def true, won't be easy, but Napoli have been rolling still.
