From Empoli they believe it, what a challenging message to Napoli: have you heard?

On Saturday evening Napoli will be guests of Empoli in Tuscany: a difficult match for the Azzurri who are in great difficulty at the moment.

Against the Frosinone The Naples confirmed all its limitations and difficulties. The resounding victory of Monzain which the Azzurri had managed to catch up with the Lombards thanks to Eurogoals, proved to be an ephemeral joy: in fact Di Francesco’s humble Frosinone was enough to bring the team back to Calzone with your feet on the ground.

A disappointing two-two for Maradona, who arrived after having suffered the comeback of the Ciociari twice. A chronic inability to keep a clean sheet, especially with Calzona as coach, something that has never happened in recent months. Napoli is fragile, victim of its own ghosts that have accumulated over the course of these difficult months to say the least.

Towards Empoli – Naples: the charge sounds from Tuscany, the words of the attacker

For this reason, the external challenge in Empoli almost takes on the flavor of a final in terms of difficulty level. Even more so by focusing on a rather curious fact: the Castellani represents a sort of taboo for the Azzurri, capable of winning on this pitch only twice in their history, including once last year, that of the scudetto.

In Empoli they know it and for this reason, given the primary need for safety points, they made the charge. Alberto Cerristriker of the Empoli team, expressed himself thus to the microphones of The nation regarding Saturday’s match:

“We will face Napoli first, then Atalanta, they are objectively two battleships if we analyze the squads, but in football nothing is precluded, no one excludes the possibility of being able to score points. Napoli concedes something compared to last year, they are in more difficulty, we saw it with Frosinone, despite this it will take maximum humility, they are teams that do not forgive.”

In short, an honest and objectively understandable statement. Napoli’s value remains immense, but the difficulties inherent in this team have repeatedly allowed them to find themselves faced with unforeseeable results throughout this championship. All that remains is to wait for the starting whistle of the match to understand if this will be repeated on Saturday evening, as we get closer to the Serie A finale. The fans and the club obviously hope not, but only the pitch, sole supreme judge, will issue his verdict.
