Napoli fury: Cremonese demolished and no Scudetto party for Inter's
Ready redemption of Napoli. The Azzurri forget the defeat to Lazio with a bombastic victory against the hapless Cremonese. At the Maradona ended 4-0 for Conte’s team, thanks to goals by McTominay, Terracciano (own goal) and De Bruyne in the first half, Alisson Santos in the second half. Partenopeans mastered the field and in definitely on the ball. In fact, the opponents never entered the field. In addition to taking one more step toward the mathematical certainty of the pass to the next Champions League, Napoli above all took away the satisfaction of postponing Inter’s Scudetto party. Even in the event of a success against Torino, the Nerazzurri would not have the mathematical certainty of the title of Italian Champions.
Conte is banking on the talent of Alisson Santos. The young Brazilian plays alongside De Bruyne, behind the only forward Hojlund. On the other side offensive pair formed by Bonazzoli and Okerere. Rocket start of the hosts with two great chances for McTominay (good Audero) and Hojlund. No problem, in the 3rd minute it is McTominay himself who unlocks the result with a beautiful diagonal shot that makes the Maradona explode. Cremonese completely broke down defensively. Goal balls for the Parthenopeans abound but the doubling does not come. On the contrary, as the minutes pass, the grigiorossi become more swaggering, although Milinkovic-Savic does not run any danger.
In the final part of the first half, another flare-up of the Azzurri and, this time, the goal arrives. On Hojlund’s shot, comes Terracciano’s decisive deflection that thwarts Audero’s possible intervention. Before halftime there is also glory for De Bruyne who cold, for the third time, the goalkeeper of the guests. Napoli was the absolute master of the field.
In the second half, the 4-0 signed by the young talent Alisson Santos immediately arrived, greeted by a warm applause from the fans present at the Maradona. Conte decides to give space to other players. More goal balls arrive for the Azzurri, but Audero (parried a penalty to McTominay in the final) and bad luck do not make the loss even heavier for the Grigiorossi. Napoli wins and convinces. Cremonese pinned at 28 points, although this was certainly not the match to hope for salvation points.
