I expected much more hot blood in a game between Juventus and Napoli, maybe it was my expectation of a better Napoli side.
They were completely harmless with the exception of Lavezzi.... Hamsik is disappointing, again... Santacocacola is a shaky defender who lack experience and confidence... their midfield when Garagno is missing is a complete joke.
Santacroce is great. He was their best player. He made Giovinco look like junk and intercepted a great deal of our attackig balls.
But Napoli were junk overall. It was a great win for us as I was worried we would be distracted. Poulsen and Marchisio held it down.
Now for Lazio we should play IQ and Amauri with Tiago in the team. I really hope we can win the Coppa as it will be nice to win to win our first trophy after serie b to get back into our habit of collecting silverware. I dont see us winning the CL or league now (although never say never). If we win the coppa, come second in the league and we made it past the group stage in the CL this season can be deemed very positive and will be a good foundation to build on.
I think you missed the context of my post. Del Piero took a fine and quite honorable step off the pitch today. But over the years (and I mean the glares and more than just throwing jackets), that hasn't exactly been the area that has helped him win Scirea awards.
Give Sanracroce somemore time to grow. Sometimes he can be a walking time bomb especially when he mistimed his tackles. He will defnitely be a very good defender in years to come
