Alex Meret is supposedly going to start for Napoli. I always like to see the emerging GK getting a start.
Only Totti could pull those types of kicks off. Haven’t seen many since. At least not in Italy. I’m sure somebody has taken a few like that but not many.
Glad Napoli beat Lazio in the Coppa Italia. Would like to see a Fiorentina make it all the way after what they have been through this season.
Napoli beating Lazio pretty much made it mandatory for Roma to get out of the competition asap if we want to bet on Lazio's inevitable mentdown in the 2nd half of the season and try our luck for top 3. So I'm quite unhappy about them getting knocked off - someone beating them at the final after 120 minutes of play would've been a dream come true.
I was watching it. Radja's stare at him on that header was priceless. Basically " What a big stiff idiot you are" A traffic cone is as useful as him minus his 5 good games a season. Cagliari need to replace him if they want to stop the rot.
I get your point. However, to not expect some Italian content in a section on calcio is a bit unreasonable. Says the man with Italian content in his signature
Lucas Paquetá asked Stefano Pioli that he doesn't want to be picked for Milan at Brescia and he wants out as soon as possible.
So why did people on this forum tell me it was no big deal that we sold him for a broken footballer and an unknown kid and replaced him with Millhouse (one of the strongest Italian midfielders according to the cretin Mongo at the time).
Because you choose what you want to read bud. Its been said a million times, deeper in a midfield 2, he was not working well for us, at all. Not Radja just sucks, ship him out. Literally everyone loved Radja.
Weird because I’m pretty sure he was a monster under Spalletti when he played him further forward. EDF played him as a mezzala which he had already proven he could play, but then Mongo has the brilliant idea to replace him with cuck ass Cristante and beta male Pellegrini. Spoiler: Pellegrini cant play as a mezzalla or in a 2 man midfield. And fcuking Cristante can’t play as a mezzala, in a 2 man midfield, or as a trequartista.
Sal is correct - when Radja played trequartista, he was massive. Won the ball back quickly, pressed, made plays, and interchanged with the pivots (it was less rigid).
