Napoli still remembers how to do it, Sassuolo raises the white flag by surrendering prematurely.
Calzona had insisted so much on the attitude in the post-match against Cagliari, complaining how something broke in the team’s mind, underlining how the playful component is fundamental in Napoli’s game, and how without it the Azzurri have a lot of difficulty playing as they know how. A reading that, in retrospect, turns out to be spot on: in the recovery against Sassuolo, Napoli seems to want to remind themselves first of all, and then all the observers, what it was and what it could be again. A team with rediscovered automatisms which makes the ball spin well, once again enhancing the technical qualities of the individuals;
Napoli has a partially simplified task of the opponent they find themselves facing: if there is in fact a team in a more difficult moment than Napoli and with an even deeper identity crisis, this is probably Sassuolo. The change of “sorcerer” from Dionisi to Bigica does not in fact restore the magic to the black-green team, if not for a momentary (albeit beautiful) initial flash of Racic, which gives his team the advantage. The reality, however, is much more bitter to digest: Sassuolo at the moment is anything but a team worthy of Serie A. The work to be done, for Bigica or whoever for him, is long and complex, and in all likelihood cannot ignore a question: how and when will Domenico Berardi return?;

The inertia of the match is clear from the first minutes: at times, in fact, the distant echo of last year’s Napoli was seen again (despite all the necessary differences): on the same pitch where last year Napoli offered a performance that surprised even their demiurge Spalletti, the Azzurri set off at full speed, returning to quickly exchange the ball and the positions of the men, moving a helpless opposing team at will to open up the vital spaces in which Osimhen has established its natural hunting ground. A team that, with its way of doing things, often forces its opponents to make mistakes: a not difficult mission, given that the neroverdi appeared particularly prone to mistakes;
A game framework that ends up exalting the individuals once again: Napoli players remember Looney Tunes after drinking from Michael’s Secret Stuff water bottle, so here’s another one Osimhen devastating in front of goal with a hat-trick, but also a Kvaratskhelia found it’s a By Lorenzo again able to exert his influence on the game, giving way to the actions of the first two Neapolitan goals. He’s in Calzona now, turn it into a lasting cure and not in a simple placebo, capable of infusing thaumaturgical properties even into a bottle of tap water;
A tennis result that gets Sassuolo into trouble, increasingly desperate at the bottom of the table, and allows Napoli to catch up with Lazio. A result capable of instilling confidence in view of the next, complicated match against Juventus. A race that could represent a manifestation of intent a team that wants to fight and to try until the end. The bitter truth is that perhaps the shock has come too far late, and the tennis result of this Wednesday in February may go down in the history of this championship as the day of regret, in which we glimpsed for a moment the image of what the Italian champions could and could have been, but were not .
