Il Napoli non sbaglia il debutto in campionato: allo stadio Stirpe gli azzurri calano il tris e battono il rimonta il Frosinone.Dopo uno spavento iniziale (rigore firmato Harroui), Politano prima e la doppietta di Osimhen poi ribaltano i padroni di casa e valgono i primi tre punti della stagione partenopea.
Meret: 6. A shiver down the spine at the start due to a faulty stop, then no further scares from his side.
Calm on the way out, he is not forced to make any saves (in fact he closes the match with zero saves). Frosinone's dangerous chances do not hit the target.
By Lorenzo: 8. First few minutes of study, then he is amazing in the offensive phase: he breaks on the right and physically surpasses his opponent going to serve Osimhen for the equaliser, in the second half instead he comes to the middle of the pitch to play and passes the ball first time again towards the Nigerian, very good at staying in the game.
Rahmani: 7. A couple of important reads in the moments when Frosinone became most dangerous, threatening Meret and his teammates.
The action that closes the match starts from his feet: precise verticalization, Di Lorenzo turns first and sends Osimhen to goal: a movie already seen.
Juan Jesus: 6. Not particularly brilliant and struggling in a couple of circumstances, especially in the first part of the match. As the minutes pass, they take the measure, Frosinone then lowers the pace and the task is easier.
But there is still something to record.
Olivera: 6. Some carelessness in the defensive phase which fortunately does not cost him dearly, in particular on Baez who in the middle of the second half hits a volley completely alone in the area. He also gets a yellow card for a foul on the home team's winger (from 76' Mario Rui: sv).
Cajuste: 5. Horror first half: after 5' the naivety in the area that leads to the penalty for Frosinone, then he is the author of a bad tackle with his leg high on Baez that costs him the yellow.
A few insertions, but not much: he was offside at the start of the action on Raspadori's goal which was cancelled by VAR (from 46' Anguissa: 6).
Lobotka: 6. He touches the ball much less, the feeling is that with Garcia the game depends less on his set-up and his ball management. In the second half he finds himself with Anguissa and Zielinski, the trident of the scudetto, and the maneuver becomes more fluid again (from the 92nd minute Ostigard: sv).
Zielinski: 6,5. The glue between midfield and attack, he often looks for the through ball or the ball in depth to free the attackers, succeeding on several occasions (in fact he finishes with 5 key passes).
However, he is not very precise in his conclusions, only trying from outside the area without ever hitting the target.
Politano: 7. First half with many initiatives and dangerous crosses on the wing. At the first personal goal opportunity, then, he strikes and fools Turati for the equaliser that starts the comeback of the Azzurri.
He also crosses the net which is then disallowed for Raspadori, a sign of many goal opportunities created by his feet too (from 76' Elmas: 6).
Osimhen: 8,5. We start again with him, a certainty. Victor doesn't take breaks and is already in goal machine mode: a cannon shot under the crossbar to strike Turati for the overtaking, a one-on-one sprint in the second half to close the match.
The understanding with Di Lorenzo is exceptional (from the 81st minute Simeon: 6).
Raspadori: 6,5. Much more involved in the goal area compared to the game seen with Spalletti last year, two dangerous chances and a goal disallowed in the first half. He also threatened Turati in the second half, with the Frosinone goalkeeper responding with a nice reflex and denying him the joy of a goal.
