Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo has come under criticism following his performances for Italy. Here comes the broadside after the latest releases.
These are quite difficult weeks for Giovanni Di Lorenzo. The Napoli captain is returning from a difficult season, which sparked several criticisms from fans who pushed the full-back to ask for a transfer to the club.
Unfortunately, even with the Italy shirt the performances were insufficient against Albania and Spain. Harsh broadside towards the full-back of the Italian national team and Napoli after his recent performances.
Bad period for Di Lorenzo also in the national team: a new attack arrives
There is no peace for the captain of the Naples, Giovanni Di Lorenzo. The full-back ended up in a vortex of criticism following his season with Napoli, which however does not seem to be stopping. In fact, Di Lorenzo’s performances in the national team were disappointing, so much so that a very heavy attack came. It was Di Lorenzo who criticized Stefano De Grandis to the microphones of Sky Sports:
“Dry branches need to be cut. I’m referring to the condition. Gratitude doesn’t exist in football. And this also applies to Di Lorenzo, who was fundamental in Naples with Spalletti, but is clearly not in condition. He comes from a season in which he played badly, and his call-up even had to be reconsidered. You call him up and that’s fine, but he doesn’t necessarily have to play and especially for 90 minutes. Wait and maybe he’ll be back in condition.”
The journalist of Sky he came down quite hard on Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Even for De Grandis the Napoli full-back should not have been called up by Spallettiwho however evidently opted for his call out of gratitude according to the journalist from Sky. The Napoli captain’s season hasn’t been easy with the club, but the tune hasn’t changed with the national team.
What fueled the criticism against Giovanni Di Lorenzo were the bad performances against Albania And Spain. Then everything is further magnified after the recent disagreements that occurred between the blue full-back and Napoli, which could soon lead to the separation between the two parties. Di Lorenzo probably can’t wait to end this season, which has certainly been among the worst of his career. It remains to be seen whether Di Lorenzo will still be an irremovable starter for Spalletti, if the Italy coach decides to change something. If this happened, it would be yet another blow to Di Lorenzo’s morale in the recent period.
