Napoli slams into Hellas wall: white nets at ‘Maradona’

Napoli-Hellas Verona 0-0

Napoli did not go beyond 0-0 against Hellas Verona in the 30th round Serie A match played at the ‘Maradona’ late Saturday afternoon.

Spalletti’s team, with several elements committed on Wednesday against AC Milan in the Champions League at rest, kept a lot, indeed a lot of the ball, close to 80 percent of the overall possession, but made itself dangerous few times in front of an however attentive Montipò.

The entrances of Kvaratskhelia, Zielinski, Osimhen and Lobotka in the second half have as their only reslue to raise the center of gravity, but Hellas’ wall resists effectively: it ends goalless, with Napoli rising to 75 (+15 over Lazio) and the Gialloblù going to 23, bringing them to 3 points from fourth-last Spezia.
