The red A of Lorenzo after 21 ‘obliges Conte to redesign the anti-City Napoli sacrificing the great ex for Olivera. He accepts the decision, greets the public and comes out
It comes out. A look at the public who applauds him, and he reciprocates. Then he sit on the bench after giving five to his companions who welcome him. Maybe in his heart he does not share the technician’s decision. But he accepts it. As only high quality players can do. Because it includes the situation. The game of the great ex, Kevin De Bruyne, 34, at the Ethihad, who saw him protagonist and winning (6 championships and a Champions League, among other things …) for over ten years with the Manchester City shirt, lasts 25 minutes. A few touch to show that Napoli is already his. Then the red, at 21 ‘, to Captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo for Foul on Erling Haaland, launched to the net, escaped the referee not at the VAR, leaves Naples in ten. And obliges Antonio Conte to sacrifice one of the Fab Four of the midfield to insert a defender, Mathías Olivera.
Politano remains on the pitch, he is the new captain. Anguissa remains on the pitch, his athleticism in the middle is fundamental. MCTominay remains on the pitch: his mobility and his ability to fit into attack are essential. The choice of the blue coach therefore falls on De Bruyne, the most sacrificable – from the tactical point of view – of the four, who, however, the applause of his former audience if he would have expected it at the end of the game. It happens.
