A hungry first half and the practice is closed. Second half too wait-and-see
One half is enough for the Azzurri to return to the top of the standings. A first half full of head and determination. A bad, hungry Napoli that closes Monza in their own metafield. The advantage comes from a play by Politano who escapes the Lombard defenders, who give him a playable ball which the Italian winger puts between Turati’s legs. Napoli attacks and Monza makes a mistake, the ball is recovered by Anguissa who triggers McTominay, the Scot tries but the deflected ball reaches Kvara who beats Turati again for a double advantage.
The second half is less beautiful with Monza taking the field a bit and Napoli tightening their shirts by playing 5 in defense with Politano practically a defender. Conte wants the best from his team but perhaps he could make the changes a little earlier, giving brilliance to the team which suffered in the second half from the play of Maldini, Pessina and Bondo. Nothing dangerous but Monza faces towards the blue area. Conte changes Kvara then Lukaku and Politano. Neres tries at the end with the ball shaving the post. Victory built with determination and desire in a beautiful first half that gives Napoli the top of the table thanks to that wickedness that was so lacking last year.
