Ancelotti's Napoli takes shape

The adventure of Mister Carlo Ancelotti on the Napoli bench has officially begun with the start of the Dimaro Folgarida retreat. The Azzurri team, according to the Serie A odds of Sky Bet Italy, will once again be Juventus' main rival in the fight to win the Scudetto.

The blue club, meanwhile, is planning the season and is active in the transfer market. After the farewell of mister Maurizio Sarri, it seemed there could be an exodus at Napoli, with many players ready to say goodbye after the cycle with the former Empoli coach. This was not the case, on the contrary, the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti on the Neapolitan bench has given the Neapolitan environment new life and great enthusiasm. The players, first and foremost Koulibaly, Mertens, Insigne and Hamsik, have decided to stay in the shadow of Vesuvius to try to assault the much-desired scudetto. The only certain departure, up to this moment, is the Italian-Brazilian Jorginho, about to move to Chelsea for around 65 million euros. The midfield director who has done so well under Sarri's management, is ready to reach London together with the former Napoli coach, who wants to propose the same system as Napoli to Chelsea.

The club, in the meantime, has gifted mister Ancelotti with some signings that have completed the squad in view of the Dimaro retreat. Goalkeepers Meret and Karnezis have arrived in the blue jersey. The former, a very promising youngster considered one of the strongest prospects in Europe, has suffered an injury to his ulna that will keep him away from the pitch for about 45 days. In his place, the Greek former Udinese player Karnezis is ready to show off, a goalkeeper of great reliability who was chosen by De Laurentiis and Ancelotti to play the role of second behind Alex Meret.

In midfield, the arrival of the very talented Spaniard Fabian Ruiz is worth mentioning, for whom the Neapolitan management had to fork out the thirty million clause that tied him to Betis Seville. The midfielder with a very polite left foot is showing off during the Dimaro retreat and is ready to take over the keys to the Azzurri midfield. The former Bologna winger, Simone Verdi, who joined Napoli after his refusal in January, has started the retreat very positively. In attack, in addition to Milik, there is Roberto Inglese who has done so well in the past championships with the Chievo Verona jersey. As of today, as stated by the coach himself in a press conference, this squad is only missing a right back who can give Hysaj a rest during the season.

The Azzurri management, however, remains vigilant on the market in view of the waltz of forwards that will most likely start at the end of the World Cup in Russia. The input to this whirlwind of forwards was given by Juventus, by purchasing Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. Now, however, the Spaniards will have to make at least one sensational move to fill the void left by CR7. In this situation, Napoli could seize the right opportunity. The fans dream of Cavani and Benzema, the rumors follow one another but for now all is quiet.
