Napoli doesn't stop, and like the most luxurious supercars, they shift into seventh gear. The Azzurri quickly forget their Europa League misstep at the Maradona Stadium against Spartak Moscow and confirm their lethal "war machine" in the league by coming from behind to defeat a courageous Fiorentina 2-1.
Ospina: 6,5. The impression is that he is Spalletti's first choice, and his performances confirm it. Not at fault for the opponent's goal, he is attentive on all the shots that arrive on target.
Di Lorenzo: 6 Nico Gonzalez's speed puts him in difficulty several times, forcing him to remain on defense more often than usual.
Rahmani: 7. A winning duo with Koulibaly, he also turns into the man of the match by heading the second Azzurri goal following a free kick. A match that increasingly confirms his place in the starting eleven at the expense of Manolas.
Koulibaly: 7. A sumptuous match for the Senegalese centre-back, who after conceding a goal from a corner left the crumbs to Vlahovic and the Fiorentina attack, also thanks to the excellent performance of Rrahmani.
Mario Rui: 6. Doesn't look out of place after the bad mistake against Spartak, confirming what have been his good performances on the pitch since Spalletti's arrival. However, a naive warning at the end of the match.
Fabian Ruiz: 6,5. Napoli's midfield suffers more than usual today, but the Spaniard manages to bring balance even in the most delicate phases of the match. He launches Osimhen into open play, from there comes the penalty and the 1-1 (from 84' Mertens: n/a).
Anguissa: 6. Not his best game since he joined Napoli, he also received his first yellow card of his Italian adventure. However, he gives the impression of being essential in midfield.
Lozano: 7. One of the best of the Azzurri in the first part of the match, the most difficult one: he warmed up Dragowski's gloves in the 33rd minute and was quick a few minutes later to collect the rebound from the Viola goalkeeper after the penalty missed by Insigne (from 58′ Politano: 6. He attacks a lot on the wing, taking advantage of the opponents' tiredness, and comes close to scoring on several occasions).
Zielinski: 6,5. He suffers a lot at the start of the match, touching very few balls. In the end the vote can only be positive: he provides the assist on the perfect play for Rrahmani's precise header, making it 1-2. He's growing (from 58' Elmas: 5,5. He makes too many mistakes in his passes and wastes the chance to make it 3-1 on an assist from Osimhen).
Insigne: 5,5. Lights and shadows for the captain, who alternates good plays with moments in which he seems to disappear from the game. He is not as cold as usual from the penalty spot and is hypnotized twice by Dragowski: in the end Lozano saves him (from 70′ Demme: 5,5. He doesn't come in very well and also gets booked, but he needs to get some minutes under his belt).
Osimhen: 6,5. Decisive even without a goal: his deep attacks keep Napoli on their feet in the phase of greatest suffering and help in the best moment of the team. He earns the penalty from which Lozano's 1-1 is born with one of his fast plays (from 84′ Petagna: n/a).

A "burned" heart at Monaldi Hospital, the lawyer says, "The child is not unfit for a transplant."
The child isn't unfit for transplantation, and we've asked Monaldi Hospital to get a second opinion from Bambino Gesù Hospital in Rome. I think it's normal for the trust between the child's family and Monaldi Hospital to have deteriorated somewhat. He just wants confirmation that the heart is still transplantable, so we're taking a…
