TIM ITALIAN CUP: INTER WINS IN NAPLES AND GOES TO SEMIFINALS, THE MATCH BETWEEN THE CONTROVERSY AND THE PUBLIC’S APPLAUSE SUCKING FOLLOWED BLUES
Naples is a little different that facing Inter to Sao Paulo for the Italy Cup semifinal: with Gabbiadini and Mertens instead of Higuain and Striker without Albiol, Hamsik and Jorginho. A break at titolatissimi and the possibility for others to express themselves in the early minutes. This means for example that Manolo Gabbiadini is well and has overcome the injury in a friendly match with the national team, hit the ankle that kept him away from more than a month. Even Inter Milan takes the field without his bomber-Captain Icardi. Not even on the bench Guarin just succumbed to the Chinese team of Jiangsu for about 18 million, 7.5 million a year to Colombian player who signed a four-year plan. However there is a lot of quality in both teams.
And the public is one of the great bargains in the cold: 30 thousand spectators.
It starts with Napoli for the attack with David Lopez, Manolo Gabbiadini and fast flurries Dries Mertens. Nice opportunity with David Lopez for Napoli who always comes down on the left lane. Mancini’s team tries on the counterattack but Reina in goal tonight. In the captain’s armband, is a certainty. To the delight of the spectators and delightful play heel get drunk the interisti Valdifiori Mertens. Continues the assault on the door by Handanovic who saves his team.
Brazilian rhythm for the azzurri, while do not seem to come into play Perisic and Biabiany.
Midway through the first half wakes the crew of M but just a descent of Strinic passing Callejon to again engage with a Grand Parade Handanovic. We test from a distance even Koulibaly but his shot is too high.
Great action of the indefatigable Callejon at 36 ‘ but eventually shoot of G is not going to sign. Last thrill of the first time a punishment of G but the shot is too slow and ends up in the arms of goalkeeper nerazzurri.
After the break entering Jorginho for David Lopez who is injured and Marek Hamsik, heats up among the cheers Gonzalo Higuain. Leaves him well applauded for good game G they didn’t in the legs the entire match and enters, acclaimed, the Hangnail. Just in field develops a dangerous action that ends with the shot of Jorginho. On the break though is the Inter to score with an angled shot by Jovetic. Nothing to do to Pepe Reina.
Risky action of Naples that goes under pressure with Higuain hit by Handanovic but the referee does not see despite the protests of Hangnail. Two minutes later we found thanks to assist by Dries Mertens.
It is precisely the Belgian to commit again the goalie that does not block, we try again Higuain. Now is an assault on the door. Mertens goes down in the penalty area, the referee is simulation, yellow for the Belgian. He was already warned and ejected. An episode that will discuss at length. Anyway we try again Napoli but Inter scored 92 ‘ with Ljaic while Mancini goes to threaten Sarri and its on the bench and is moved away from the field. An ugly incident that stain the nerazzurri. Anything goes at the 95 ‘ yet another miracle of Inter’s goalkeeper. The public continues to sing one day suddenly.
