29 November 2011, 83rd minute for Napoli v Juventus. The Bianconeri are trailing by a single goal and ploughing forward in search of an equaliser, having twice found themselves two goals behind.
With seven minutes remaining, Pepe carries the ball forward from a central position. He shrugs off the challenges of two opponents, looks to play in a team-mate to his left, but sees the ball rebound back to his feet. It proves to be a superb self-assist, matched to perfection by a cool finish into the bottom corner. The comeback is complete and Simone Pepe has summed up all his playing qualities in one stunning action. He is a born fighter.
Aside from his character, Pepe also possesses strong technical qualities. He can beat his man, lay on assists and produce a deadly finishing touch.
Yet the strike at the San Paolo wasn’t Simone’s best goal of the season. The winger saved his finest moment for the home game against Lazio, in which he lashed a superb overhead kick past a stunned Marchetti.
Stats wise, Pepe has contributed four assists and 27 useful deliveries from out wide, guaranteeing consistent quality throughout his 33 appearances and 2,383 minutes on the pitch.
