Il Cagliari ad ora di pranzo.Il Napoli e’ pronto a giocare la settima gara di campionato domani alle 12,30 al San Paolo.
The Azzurri are first in the standings and intend to stay there by beating the Sardinians too. Going into the break with full points with a seven-win streak in the first seven matchdays. This is Napoli's objective. Sarri's team, in fact, has full points and knows it can fight until the end for the Scudetto.
The Tuscan coach has asked his players to stay focused and not to trust their opponents otherwise they risk losing points as was happening last Saturday at Spal's home. The success in the Champions League has encouraged the atmosphere even more and that is why the stadium will have a good view. A feat, the seventh consecutive victory, towards which Napoli will be pushed by a San Paolo once again full, which will break the 40.000 mark in the early lunch hour. There is a desire to exalt themselves again as has happened in nine out of ten matches this season. Maurizio Sarri is preparing to squeeze his 'starters' before seeing them get on the planes that will take them to their national teams: a prospect that the Italian coach does not like at all.
At this moment Sarri would like to have time to train, to try to invent new tactical alchemies given Milik's injury and the availability of only one real striker, Dries Mertens. And instead everyone will leave, even Jose' Callejon, who seems to be the most investigated to be able to give the Belgian sprite a rest, but who has been called up by the Iberian coach Lopetegui for the double match in key to the World Cup against Albania and Israel.
The Spanish winger will therefore be on the pitch tomorrow with the trident of the little ones, in a carbon copy of the team that scored three goals against Feyenoord on Tuesday evening. The only change could concern the defensive sector with the return of Albiol who today carried out the entire session with his teammates and could resume his place in the center of defense next to Koulibaly, sending Maksimovic back to the bench.
For the rest, the confirmed starters, with a midfield that is taking shape with Allan-Jorginho-Hamsik. There is once again great anticipation for the Slovakian who has shown growth in recent outings, albeit gradual, and who is eager to find the path to goal again, which he is still lacking this year: at Cagliari, Marek has already scored five goals in ten games played and tomorrow he would like to increase the haul.
Sarri has also called up the Brazilian Leandrinho, 18 years old, a striker who has been cutting his teeth in the Primavera for a year and shone at the last Viareggio. After Cagliari it's the turn of the national teams, and Sarri will only have the reserves left to begin preparing for the terrible start to the second half.
After the break, the Azzurri will have a terrible trio in eight days: Roma, Manchester City and Inter. A true trio about the ambitions and depth of Hamsik and his teammates.
