Zilpia's side of both the team's state and physical fitness is relatively Down side, the current league two rounds against the middle and lower reaches of the team only got 1 win and 1 draw, and that only one win for the close win, it can be seen that the team in the offensive end still need time to grind.
Compared to other teams in the Eredivisie, they had to play the qualification match of the European Cup in the week, and it was a two-legged match in two consecutive weeks. Against Twente, who is in the top class of the Dutch Eredivisie, they should have won easily according to the difference in strengths between the two teams, but they only won by one goal. In the second round of the match, the team was supposed to adjust the physical condition of the players, and was very conservative in tactics. At one point, the team was suppressed by Twente, and even lost a red card before they managed to hold on to the victory.
After the first game of the season, in which two goals were scored against promotion rival Cremona, manager Italiano obviously put a lot of effort in setting up the team's defense, while the integration of the offensive end was not yet in place, turning into a bit of a headache. The main reason is that Gozalez, the main winger of the team, has not yet adjusted his physical condition in the beginning of the season, while Ikone, the substitute starter, still seems to be incompatible with the team's system, and coupled with the more frequent fixtures, it has made Italiano a bit difficult to choose the front line.
The team didn't rotate too much because of the midweek match, and what is more expected is the new player from Verona - Barak, who can play as a winger or a forward, which is a different type of player compared to the other players in front of the field, but he hasn't been with the team for a long time, so it's worth observing what kind of changes he can bring in.
Compared to Zilpia, Napoli's side is well-staffed and in very good form, with 5-2 and 4-0 victories in the last two matches, so no changes have been made in the lineup.
The point of concern is of course the 21-year-old Georgian youngster - Kvaratskhelia, who has been playing in the Russian Premier League at the highest level, has parachuted into the Yi A. Unexpectedly, he has been performing well from the warm-up games, and in the first two rounds, he also contributed 3 goals and 1 assist, which is a perfect replacement for the team's left-wing vacancy. But after all, the first two rounds of the opponent's defensive strength is not that strong, this round of the encounter with the Ziba Lily is really encountered in the middle of the first class team, whether to maintain the same level of concern.
And apart from the dark horse juniors, it's also worth watching if the trio of recent additions such as striker Simeone, winger Raspadori and midfielder Ndombele will rotate into the lineup and what kind of changes they can bring.
I must say that the referee's decision was very dramatic. In the 3rd minute of the match, Napoli's midfielder Anguissa stepped on Quarta in order to fight for the ball, and received a yellow card immediately because of the dangerous action. This is actually very hurtful to Napoli, because Anguissa is a very important barrier in Napoli's midfield and backfield, especially in the physical confrontation, and with this early card, it becomes a ticking time bomb for Napoli.
