E’everything happened in the advance of the 24th day of Serie A, with Napoli defeating Genoa 3-2 at the Ferraris at the end of a match full of twists and turns. The match was unblocked immediately, after just three minutes, with a penalty converted by Malinovskyi for the Grifone, awarded for a foul by Meret that stemmed from a blatant back-pass by Buongiorno after just 15 seconds. Conte’s team, however, reacted with character and in just two minutes overturned the result: in the 20th minute Hojlund repeated in the net after Bijlow’s save on McTominay, while in the 22nd minute it was the Scot himself who signed the overtake with a powerful right-footed shot from distance.

The presenter, super supporter of Napoli, told that in the family there's a black sheep. Indeed, nerazzurra.
He did so in a recent interview granted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. "A scandal" she smiled.
Tons of concepts expressed by the good (and beautiful) Campanian conductor.
"Napoli is experienced as a true faith by those born and raised in the city".
His first times at the stadium go back to'childhood, in the Maradona period.
"There'was also Naldi’s Napoli in Serie B and failure. And I was there'I was"
"Then the slow rise with De Laurentiis from Serie C. And there'I was also there".
In the last three years Napoli has won two championships.

"Winning two titles in three years is something huge".

"Conte’s reappointment was the best news of the'year".
"Soccer looks like life: there are ups, downs, falls and restarts".
"When you are on a high you have to rejoice without forgetting that nothing lasts forever".

After halftime, however, Scott McTominay did not return to the field, replaced by new signing Giovane: he complained of discomfort in the gluteal area following a clash of play and already around the 35th minute had approached the bench to report the problem to the staff. Situation that had prompted Conte to indulge in a bitter joke: “I have to play in a while”. McTominay’s injury was in fact in addition to those of De Bruyne, Anguissa and Gilmour.

In the second half, Genoa took advantage of another Buongiorno mistake: in the 57th minute, the defender unintentionally threw Colombo toward the goal and the Milan-school striker did not miss, signing the 2-2. The match became even more complicated for the Azzurri in the 76th minute when Juan Jesus was sent off, leaving Napoli with 10 men. Conte ran for cover by inserting Olivera in place of Vergara, who came on in turn to replace McTominay.

When the tie seemed to be written, another penalty was awarded in the 90th minute, this time in Napoli’s favor. From the penalty spot Hojlund was glacial: Bijlow guessed but could not prevent the final 3-2.

A very heavy success that allowed Conte to move within six points of Inter, while De Rossi’s Genoa cashed in yet another defeat in the salvage and remained stuck at 23.
