The European Napoli campaign starts badly: it ends 2-1 for the Brest in Castel di Sangro, and there is a pinch of disappointment. Okay, it was only the first international summer test of the Italian champions, but a lot must be done and to record. The defense, first of all, without Olivera and good morning and too often at the mercy of French restarts. The super offensive attitude – De Bruyne and Raspadori Mezzoli more trident – does not help to keep the balanced departments and especially on the left, Napoli has made a lot of effort, with spinazzola and Lang in physical difficulty.

Too many mistakes

In Napoli debuts between the Milinkovic Savic poles, while for the rest Conte confirms the 11 victorious in the last test in Trentino against Catanzaro. Front -wheel drive team, with De Bruyne and Raspadori Mezzoli and Trident composed of Neres, Lucca and Lang. But the opponent’s caliber is different and the Brest has fun in the grasslands that Napoli grants in restart. So within 5 minutes in the middle of the first half, the Azzurri go below 2-0 for the brace of Ajorque (foot and head), with Rrahmani and Milinkovic not exactly impeccable in circumstances. The blue answer comes with a spectacular but unfortunate play of De Bruyne, who on heel – on the fly – hits the pole.

In the second half is De Bruyne who tries to take the situation in hand, but Napoli struggles to get from the parts of coudrt. Then, in 19 ‘, the spark. De Bruyne changes game and finds in the area of Lorenzo, touch for the newly enthusiasm Politano who downloads to Lucca: a powerful blow and a reopened race. And on the axis with the other taken, Napoli touches the equal to 27 ‘with a header from Anguissa, on the splendid invitation from Politano. In the final still De Bruyne tries from outside to avoid defeat, but without luck. More shadows than lights in this international debut. There is a lot to work. And tomorrow morning he whispers against Casertana: Conte will give space to those who played little or nothing today.
