Cagliari renounces, Napoli wins easy 2-0

Melee in the area with Godin and Deiola contrasting Politano and Insigne

Not even a shot on goal by the rossoblùs lined up for 70 minutes with a single tip from Mazzarri. Overwhelming Osimeh: scores and gets the penalty converted by Insigne

NAPLES. The trip to Naples was certainly not the right one to restart after the bad internal scoppola with Empoli. But Cagliari has disappointed beyond expectations. Not even a shot on goal and ball of the game always in the hands of the leaders who slipped the sixth victory in a row by imposing with almost negligible ease for 2-0.

Mazzarri started with a surprise deployment: a 4-5-1 practically mirrored with the scheme used by Napoli: in front of Cragno, Zappa, Walukiewicz, Godin and Caceres and in midfield Nandez, Marin, Strootman, Deiola and Lykogiannis behind the only tip Joao Pedro. The intent of the coach was to thicken the midfield and create difficulties in the construction of the game for Spalletti’s team.

Meanwhile, poor Joao Pedro could do nothing in the rare offensive sorties of his own. He who was the first striker did not have to adapt, barely managing not to make a fool of himself. And in reality the Cagliari coach’s plan failed quite soon: at 11 ‘the offside trap did not go off and Osimhen bags Zielinski’s suggestion, very free on the right out.

The cobweb of the passes stuns the rossoblù who can not help but defend themselves and hope. At 19 ‘on a corner action, Mazzarri’s team is dangerous with Caceres hitting the ball then deflected by a Napoli defender half a meter from Ospina’s goal. It will be the only real chance for the rossoblùs in the whole match.

Cagliari is always under pressure even if in fact the dangers for Cragno are few. He tries twice in the middle phase of time Osimhen but first his right cross ends on the bottom and the same fate follows a header from the Neapolitan striker.

In the second half the plot does not change with Napoli making good and bad weather against a Cagliari that is unable to fight back. At 11 ‘, as in the first half, another blow for Cagliari. This time it is naive Godin who commits a useless foul in the area on Osimhen. The resulting penalty is transformed by Lorenzo Insigne. 2-0 and the game practically closed.

At 23 ‘double change: Keita enter for Deiola and Cappitelli for Walukiewicz, the last attempt with the 4-4-2 to look for a danger forward that Cagliari did not have for almost 70 minutes. Everything useless. Pereiro and Grassi also enter with 6 minutes from the end to shore up a central line tired from the systematic giropalla of the Neapolitans. But nothing happens anymore and Cagliari collects their fourth defeat in six games. A start to the championship that will shake your wrists.

To start again on Friday there is Venezia at home. An opportunity that Cagliari must not waste if it does not want to slip into the tunnel of a deep crisis after seven days.
