KIEV – The dream of imitating Juve and return, after 26 years, in a European final stops in Kiev for Napoli. The blues was not enough evidence to recover the hefty 1-1 a week ago. He needed a goal and it never arrived. One which has, indeed, in the end it was an undeserved defeat that allows the Dnipro to make even more magical the most beautiful page of his 97 years of history.
NAPLES, MANY REGRETS – I regret that accompany Napoli are many. Not only for the sensational goal irregularly granted to Ukrainians in the first leg. Even for the many episodes filmed crooked in the return match, the two balls-goal miss by Higuain 0-0, the network Seleznyov, still marred by a nasty foul (held against Britos), saving on the line of Douglas on a cross-shot from Higuain and, finally, a header by Britos on the side of a nothing. Really a shame.
BENITEZ MAKES HAMSIK AND LAUNCHES Gabbiadini – Given the terrain made slippery by rain fall on Kiev, Benitez decided to launch the first ‘Gabbiadini instead of Hamsik in the trident behind Higuain while median preferred Inler to lighter Jorginho. Markevych responded by changing a single piece in the line emerged unscathed from the San Paolo leg: inside the goalscorer Seleznyov, placed at the center of the attack to replace Kalinic.
HIGUAIN THAT OPPORTUNITY wasted – Despite suffering the initial pressure of the Ukrainians, the Napoli was able to wait for the right moment and, at 7 ‘, it has obtained a huge chance of scoring: Inler put only at the door Higuain who kicked him badly in Boyko output. Dnipro has understood the need to keep the ball to risk as little as possible and has complicated the life in a Naples eager to share in speed. It is no coincidence that before the end of the time the Blues have managed to build just another ball-goal, foiled again by Boyko that, with a prodigious leap to the left, has smanacciato header Higuain on a perfect cross from the Ghoulam left.
ENTER HAMSIK, SCORES AGAIN Seleznyov – Bravo to close all spaces in defense, the Dnipro did not remain, however, to look at finding ways to scare remittance Andujar riding the two-stroke Seleznyov (right to put around a corner by goalkeeper) and Luchkevych (diagonal just wide). Benitez tried to shake her off instead of inserting Hamsik Gabbiadini but after just 1 ‘grossed 1-0: Konoplyanka from the left brushed a ball to the head of that Seleznyov, preventing Experienced Britos to soar, has Andujar beat head.
THE DOOR NOT 3-4-3 FRUITS – Lost for lost, Benitez ordered the 3-4-3 spending in the field before Mertens and then Henrique but Napoli continued to struggle to free their marcatissimi forward. So the Azzurri did not remain that Boyko trouble with a couple of conclusions from outside of Mertens and with the aforementioned double chance, born in the fray on as a corner.
CROSS MATHEUS IN THE FINAL – The Dnipro closed like a clam and, in added time, he also came close to doubling with substitute Matheus who hit the crossbar with a shot in the neck. Napoli, well, come back empty-handed from Ukraine. To save the season now just have to center the Champions league.
