Napoli Ajax report cards. Il Napoli is in the round of 16 of Champions: Ajax wrought 4-2 and now mathematically qualify with two days to spare. These are the report cards of the blues.
Meret: 6,5. Good reflex on Bergwijn's deflected shot at the start, on Klaassen's header he touches but it's not enough. He senses Bergwijn's penalty.
By Lorenzo: 7. Good in both phases as always, he is dangerous in the offensive phase and defensively holds his own against the Dutch wingers.
Kim: 6. Some errors of lucidity at the start, to fix the understanding with Juan Jesus after the injury of Rrahmani. For the rest he keeps a good guard.
Juan Jesus: 6. Under pressure, in his second game of the season, he does not look out of place. A bit naive on the occasion of the penalty awarded to Ajax at the end, but the decision of the referee Zwayer is still very questionable.
Olivera: 6,5. More than adequate match with many ideas up front, even if he concedes something in the defensive phase. Klaassen dominates him on the occasion of the 2-1.
Anguissa: 6. A bit physically down, less lively than usual and it shows: at the beginning of the second half he is forced to ask for a substitution (from the 50th minute Ndombele: 6,5. He enters with the right attitude, first comes close to making it 3-1 and then earns the penalty converted by Kvara).
Lobotka: 7. Essential for Spalletti: calm and lucid as always in all the plays, he puts order in defense and starts as usual also often forward with the ball at his feet.
Zielinski: 7. 4' pass and a splendid assist is needed for Lozano to unlock the game, he exchanges with Kvara in the action that ends with Raspadori doubling the score. More and more decisive in that area of the field (from 89' Gaetano: yes).
Lozano: 7,5. He is regaining that confidence that seemed to have vanished. Ready to go and immediately scores the goal of the lead, then comes close to doubling it. Very dangerous in attack, he also comes close to scoring a brace in the second half on the counterattack (from 76' Politano: sv).
Raspadori: 7. Beautiful goal that is worth the double, even today he often and willingly comes down to set up from the back in the role of false nine (from 50' Osimhen: 6. He enters with a commendable competitive anger, but he makes almost every mistake, constantly finding himself offside. In the end the goal arrives thanks also to a sensational mistake by Blind).
Kvaratskhelia: 8. He lights up the Maradona, in the first half he puts on a show play after play. First the assist for Raspadori, then also the joy of the goal from a penalty. When he plays like that it's illegal (from 76' Elmas: sv).
