Napoli wastes and slams into Radu: Scudetto braking for Conte in Venice
Antonio Conte’s Napoli disappoints in Venice in the 29th day of Serie A: the Azzurri do not go beyond 0-0 in the lagoon, stopped by the poor aim of their attackers and the interventions of former Inter goalkeeper Ionut Radu. The Parthenopeans in the standings reach first place at 61 with Inter, on the pitch in the evening against Atalanta. Venice are penultimate at 20.
Napoli was not very concrete in the first half, Raspadori hit a post and Venezia goalkeeper Radu denied the Azzurri advantage in at least four circumstances (great chances especially for McTominay and Lukaku). The Lagunarians did not stand idly by and in the final half almost took the lead with Fila, whose shot from a safe distance è rejected on the goal line by Rrahmani.
In the resumption the script does not change, Napoli tries but Radu è always careful. Conte at 75' decided to shake up his team by inserting Anguissa, Olivera, Okafor and Juan Jesus for Gilmour, Spinazzola, Raspadori and the injured Rrahmani. A few minutes later è forò Venezia to have a great chance with Kike Perez, whose cross was not però deflected into the net by any player of the hosts.
Conte's last card è Simeone, in for Romelu Lukaku. It was precisely the son of art who gobbled up a great chance on 93', sending a cross from Okafor into the stars. Before the triple whistle è instead Meret saved Napoli by parrying Nicolussi Caviglia's conclusion from the limit.
