Carlo Ancelotti wins his wager that he wanted to turn the half-empty San Paolo into a place of joy. Napoli suffered from an excellent Fiorentina, but in the end the Italians showed the patience of their coach and to solve the match he thought with a stroke of class Lorenzinho Insigne, which the technician asks for a more central position and right from a cut in the middle came the decisive goal, on bell'assist Milik, immediately inside the game even starting from the bench. In the end, the few fans present cheer and the team is preparing for the first away match of Champions with a decidedly different mood compared to that of Genoa two weeks ago. No rejection for the team of Pioli who holds the field well, gives little but has fewer decisive players of Naples.
For the first time this season the Napoli starts in a decent way, without giving a time to the opponents and without taking a goal. Ancelotti presents a new 4-4-2 focusing on the Dachshunds to unhinge the Viola safe. Mertens and Insigne neighbors, with Callejon and Zielinski larghi and Allan to support Hamsik, more confident and brilliant with a median line to four. Above all, the position of Mertens tends to continually expand, with Zielinski entering, in short, trying to remove references to the Tuscan defense. But Pioli is not far behind and explaining in numbers his form is not simple.
The reference is Veretout, a bass director in front of the four-man defense, then the difference is made by the dynamism of Eysseric man-everywhere able to dance between the lines and Benassi able to look for the depth in the middle in support of Simeone.
The rest makes a vicious Church that makes the outside right at the start, then also left, with interesting central captains and a masterly defensive recovery at half an hour when on a corner kick Fiorentina is found covered behind and is just Federico to save with a spectacular slide that closes the line of decisive passage. Very tactical race and little opportunities. Dragowaski on Callejon's cross-shot was a little uncertain. Then at 11 'is Karnezis (preferred to Ospina, returned from South America only two days ago, and there is also Maksimovic instead of Albiol) not to be surprised by the distance from Eysseric.
Vitor Hugo is surprised by an acceleration of Insigne which, however, is not equally effective in the conclusion. Before closing it is a dangerous Church with a shot from the edge.
In this chess game in the second half everyone tries his moves, with Ancelotti who inserts Milik and Napoli that passes to 4-2-3-1 with Zielinski behind the compatriot. Napoli tries to keep up the pace and Fiorentina suffers a bit because its runners Eysseric and Benassi accuse the effort. And then Pioli also passes the 4-2-3-1 by inserting the median Dabo-Fernandes from the bench. But Viola no longer stings, while Napoli believes more and finds the shot of his champion. In the final the Tuscans never manage to approach in a dangerous way to Karnezis, the first goalkeeper to finish unbeaten a race. And at the end it is Zielinski that the ball of 2-0 but Dragowski somehow manages to close the mirror to the compatriot.
