Corbo: “This Naples is the apotheosis of contradictions! There are at least three big problems”

Antonio Corbo, in his usual editorial for Repubblica, commented on the current moment of the Neapolitan team.

Antonio Corbo He spoke of Naples in his usual editorial for the Republic. The journalist highlighted three problems related to the blue team. “The type of game. Which one did Gattuso choose, whom and what did he ask De Laurentiis, Chiavelli, Giuntoli to bring the team from the seventh position at least to the Champions League area? We talk about everything and never about anything, because the current team is the apotheosis of contradictions. If Gattuso finds in Napoli a logical thread to bring together the players he has, say so. It may reassure those who are stumped by this open construction site, like almost every club these days, but Naples has gotten stuck in traffic. It is worse because some key players are still in the market, the destinations are not known, the revenue from the sales if they sell, their confirmation conditions, the possible increase in mood. It follows that Gattuso does not know who to play with on Sunday, nor does he imagine his new Napoli. There are at least three cases“.

one) The most serious is that of Milik. De Laurentiis proposed the renovation after the second intervention. It seemed a way to cheer him up, an injection of courage, a test of confidence. Milik’s sharp no irritated De Laurentiis, who was also surprised by such generosity. Almost two years have passed and Milik quickly parted ways with Napoli, in turn disappointed by Mertens’ growing popularity. The postponement strategy leads to today’s paradoxes. The best striker of the year (11 goals, no matter how few) is the least loved by the fans, the first of those excluded in Gattuso’s plan, the most undervalued, but also an example of self-harm: he was betting on Juve, to who didn’t care about him to chase after the elders Suarez and Dzeko. It remains Roma’s hypothesis if Dzeko goes to Juve, leaving Napoli with a handful of millions, a sharp drop from 35 in initial cost to less than 20 million now. Is it possible that at Napoli no one has protected the interests of the club and Milik by making you think? Chiavelli, Giuntoli, did your assistant spend a few minutes?

two) Koulibaly telephoned de Laurentiis on Tuesday afternoon. He is willing to stay, but he wants a suitable contract. Naples and City challenge each other to the last rudeness. Agent Ramadani happily swims in unclear waters between hatred and resentment. Koulibaly knows that his price has been liquefied by the emergence of the virus, but also by his bad year. All you have to do is Manchester. Another paradox. Napoli charge less to sell it or pay more to keep it. A suspicion: does everything happen to Napoli or does Napoli not know how to manage the renewals with timing?

3) Osimhen would not play yesterday. He can stay there, after the bad test with Pescara. But Osimhen has an overflowing power in progression. It is a counterattack with technique and movements to file. But who has to pitch it if Demme has a short pace and the entire midfield is lulled by possession and dribbling? Besides De Laurentiis, it seems that there is no technical mind to remake Napoli. And if there is. Who?”.
