In the decalogue of the profound football connoisseurs, the pearl dedicated to the summer friendlies is not lacking: “August football, I don’t know you”. As if to say: the pre -season tests we consider them, but up to a certain point. Above all, it is better to avoid magnifying the defeats in the first releases: something quite logical given the workloads. The Ko del Napoli with Arezzo is even part of the July football, that kind of pre -season embryo in which the flashes of amalgam are built. But in football, you know, those who lose are always destined for a minimum dose of teasing. Especially if he falls, albeit in a friendly, against teams who stay on the lower floors. From the sensational Juve-Lucento to the debacle of the Roma of Liedholm with Trento, the story of our big names is full of surprise defeats.
