Napoli, who plays in Buongiorno’s place? Juan Jesus and Marin the substitutes

There are two alternatives available to Conte, who is looking for a replacement for the Italian defender

Alessandro Buongiorno’s injury, which will last at least a month, forces Antonio Conte to take action. But who plays in Buongiorno’s place? Analyzing the only precedent (Hellas Verona-Napoli, first of the championship), the coach’s choice to replace the central defender fell on Juan Jesuswho – numbers in hand – did not perform well on that occasion: 4 on the report card. From then on only benches and two appearances in the Italian Cup. The Brazilian remains the most likely choice, but there is another option. Costing 12 million and never playing in the league until now (for him only two appearances in the Italian Cup), this could be an opportunity to Rafa Marin.

Conte’s choice

Al Gazzetta fantasy championshipthe advice is to avoid replacing Buongiorno with whoever will replace him in Napoli (with the 42 credits of the Italian defender you can aim for an absolute top in the role), but if you want to opt for a Conte defender, Juan Jesus (11 credits) is the one that offers the greatest employment opportunities. Rafa Marin (15 credits) can be considered a gamble: the case of Neres, in place of the injured Kvaratskhelia with excellent results, teaches us.
