On the field at 18 Atalanta-Napoli
Playing on a par with Liverpool at Anfield for 80 ', then giving up and losing because by now the primacy of the group was in your pocket: after the first phase of the Champions League, Napoli must keep the Serie A escape for Napoli.
Fundamental is the challenge on the terrain of Atalanta, second in the standings five points away and who have an advantage in the league: they do not play in Europe this year, so they have been concentrating on the challenge for a week.
Spalletti knows this, but he does not talk about it, he wants to have maximum rhythm and strength even in Bergamo where, however, there will not be the talent of Kvaratskhelia, who remained in Naples for an attack of acute low back pain.
Instead of him there should be Lozano, with Politano on the right but there is also the Raspadori card that you can play.
First the news: "Muriel has a tendon problem and we will see him again after the break. De Roon, on the other hand, has trained with his teammates and can start starting".
Then, the confidence boost: "Liverpool have shown that not even Napoli are unbeatable."
Atalanta lives the eve of second against the first of the class aware of having to do the company.
"Not conceding goals from the best attack that raised the level in the Champions League - said Gian Piero Gasperini - would be a novelty. We have to limit their quality without allowing spaces in speed, neither to Osimhen nor to the outside strikers such as Lozano, Raspadori and Politano".
