The moment is not the best.
Napoli come from two consecutive defeats and have scored only one point in their last three games.
A slow pace that despite everything did not deprive the Azzurri of the first place in the standings.
On Sunday evening Sarri's Lazio arrives at Maradona and Spalletti knows well that he is not a comfortable opponent to face.
"The match with Lazio - he explains - takes on a different weight because we come from two or three results that were not what we would have liked and of course because we have a team in front of us that is of our level. Lazio is one of the 7 teams in the condominium. head ".
Sarri against the past, Cataldi dreams of being an icon
- After the internal knockout with Juventus and the redemption with Lokomotiv in the Europa League, Maurizio Sarri's Lazio faces under Vesuvius in the big match on Sunday evening at the Maradona in Naples. A never banal challenge for the Tuscan coach, who recently admitted: "For me, Naples is never a normal match." Three seasons with the Neapolitans for the former Juventus coach earned him the launching pad towards Chelsea first and then Juventus, as well as a series of broken records and a near-miss scudetto. Also special for Ciro Immobile, even if from Naples and its surroundings (the biancoceleste bomber is a native of Torre Annunziata) there is only affection for his land. Also because after the first kicks at Sorrento, King Ciro took the route north, to the Juventus youth teams. And the Napoli shirt he has never worn.Indeed, in his career when he could he always hurt.
