Il Napoli splendid and often unplayable third title stands above all other teams in the league in overall rating, but in addition to the merits of Luciano Spalletti the triumph also had its foundations in a group of excellent protagonists, five of whom rightfully enter the top 11 of the championship of Serie A.The ideal formation – Provedel, By Lorenzo, Kim, Smalling, Di Marco, Lobotka, Tonali, Rabiot, Lautaro, Osimhen, Fourth – cannot but reflect the outcome of the season, with theInter Queen of Cups represented twice, the Lazio revelation and the most fluctuating Milan, Rome e Juve with a player.
Of last year's best, however, only the Rossoneri remain.
PROVEDEL: titolare per caso nella Lazio (all’inizio doveva essere Maximiano), diventa il miglior portiere di A con 21 clean sheet in 38 gare dando sicurezza al reparto ben confezionato da Sarri.Male nel ko col Torino, bene quasi sempre, in particolare con Fiorentina, Verona e Napoli.
DI LORENZO: magnificent captain of the championship, leader of the dressing room and driving force, also due to his past as a striker.
He only missed the mark in the 0-4 defeat to Milan, always among the best, 3 goals and 4 assists, a versatile winger. KIM: Koulibaly's legacy was heavy, but Giuntoli sensed the deal with Fenerbahce. Physically strong but agile, he plays in advance and had an excellent impact, helping to make the defense impenetrable.
He scored two goals. SMALLING: when he is missing, Roma's defense is weak, protagonist of a sumptuous season, slowed down by some injuries. Two goals in his offensive forays, impeccable also in the final in Budapest, all he lacks is the construction of the game. MARCO'S: after his experience in Verona, he took a year to break through at Inter, Inzaghi preferred him to Gosens after Perisic and the Italian had a brilliant season with 4 assists and 4 goals.
Masterful against Verona and in the brace against Bologna.
LOBOTKA: the metronome to whom Spalletti entrusts the midfield after the farewell of Fabian Ruiz builds a brilliant season creating total harmony with Anguissa and Zielinski. He starts with the goal against Verona, sews the game and sacrifices himself for the others.
It has seen a slight decline in the last two months. TONAL: after the scudetto, a fourth place with Milan, but he is always a protagonist of excellence. Position, temper, class allow him to shine (even if Mancini left him out for the Nations League): 7 assists and 2 goals this season with great performances in the derby, with Salernitana, Napoli and Samp. RABIOT: for better or for worse he keeps Juve alive with personality, class and great finishes.
He made 4 assists and 8 goals, including a brace against Empoli. Very nervous, he also received 9 yellow cards.
This could be his last year in Turin.
LAUTARO: the world champion Toro had his ups and downs before and after Qatar but at the right time he returned devastating in front of goal. He surpassed 100 goals in 4 years at Inter and this year, waiting for Istanbul, he is at 28 with four braces (Fiorentina, Cremonese, Lazio and Verona). OSIMHEN: top scorer with 26 goals and driving force, the 'masked man' is the emblem of the Scudetto.
Hat-trick with Sassuolo, doubles with Juventus, Spezia, Torino and Bologna. In his third year in Naples he took flight and now has a valuation of over 100 million. KVARATSKHELIAGiuntoli's masterpiece, 15 million for the Georgian talent who resembles George Best.
Uncatchable in dribbling, with agility, technique and shooting, he completed himself with Osimhen in Spalletti's schemes. At 22 years old he is worth almost 100 million, the extra weapon of the scudetto.
Devastating impact, slight decline in spring after the games, 12 goals with a brace (against Monza) and two penalties, 10 assists. Many other protagonists: among the goalkeepers, Meret e Vicar.
Among the defenders Good morning, Acerbi, shed.Among the midfielders Matic, Mkhitaryan, Anguissa, koopmeiners, Hjulmand, Stretcher, Ferguson.
Among the finishers-attackers Bonaventura, Saponara, Ursu, Dybala, Berardi, Strefezza, Lookman, Sanabria, Dia, Nzola, Cabral, Leao, Hojlund e Weather in Zaccagni.
