Chievo is just a thrill. Then the Napoli back to running – the Journal

net of pitted digits Maurizio Sarri on the eve of the match against Chievo, he wanted a performance and above all a victory – absent for a month – that would sweep away the talk about the physical decline of Naples. Also circulated insistently by the parties of Castelvolturno. It took a month before the Blues would return to success, and it all happened in the right night: match at the San Paolo, where the Napoli left only six points out of 42 to the opponent; game against a team that over the years has been a real bugbear and playing beautiful football; not a direct confrontation, but a challenge with one of the “small” (or alleged, because of the beautiful Venetian league with skillful Maran in changing things around tactically repeatedly team), in recent history Achilles heel of the blue ranks in the run-up to results of prestige. The night of Fuorigrotta so has the happy ending, with the coupling to Juve at the top of the championship if only for a notte.Solo a thrill, with the fastest goal (just 62 seconds after the starting whistle) suffered from Naples in season , aided by the Chiriches error that threatened to complicate his game suffered as vice Albiol and Reina slipped (in the field with a fever). Then intense blues, the draw – immediate – and overtaking opponents. In the middle of so many opportunities not materialize – except Callejon for the final 3-1 – to close the match and not treat yourself useless end troubles. Sdognata the title word ( “a dream saw our upstream engagements and our revenues compared to the opponent, but often the dreams come true”, so the Tuscan leader before the match), the stimuli launched by Sarri would be used to unlock a team always purposeful – although more predictable for opponents – that after the incredible series of eight hits in a row had suddenly stopped. In one evening the Neapolitan troops found goals (three), his striker Higuain seal the second row (line number 26, just to respond to the remote triggered Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the European Golden Boot, a cross and a bis touched very little) and certainty that seemed to vanish. In short, an important response even to the evening of Florence that had left many questions about the future of the Blues in the league.

Here we go, the Rigoni hit kind gift of Naples. But the ranks of Sarri was immediately taken: the draw of Higuain, closer and closer to his personal record of goals in a season (27 in 2009-10 to Real Madrid), a constant siege on the door of Gonzo until the pumpkin Chiriches the closing credits of the first half. The Romanian has thus redeemed the pre-game error, delivering a deserved lead in Naples. A regenerated team, more sure of its means, even though Maran skin changes to its Chievo several times during the game. But when Gonzo deflects the crossbar on a shot safe shot of Higuain, you understand that the terminus of the match is close. And Callejon takes his personal satisfaction, taking advantage of the flat Allan precise cross.

The Naples so sends a clear message to the championship, restarting his path with three points that “armored” the third after the defeat of Fiorentina and the second by the return imperious of Rome, but above that allow you to hook up for a few hours Juventus rival, called today to answer.
