Squad3 Oct 2039

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alieu Njie

105 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Napoli lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad3 Oct 2039

A one-man rearguard from Christos Mandas

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings3 Oct 2039

Maxim Voronov scores twice — 8.68

Two goals and a mark of 8.68 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad3 Oct 2039

11 seasons of Brahim Díaz

589 appearances across 11 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Napoli know what they have.

Squad3 Oct 2039

Miguel Gutiérrez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Miguel Gutiérrez and Napoli agree another 2 years.

Market3 Oct 2039

Diego Sánchez has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Napoli they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match1 Oct 2039

No clean sheets in sight for Napoli

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Match1 Oct 2039

Napoli and Udinese take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market3 Oct 2039

The Alieu Njie question follows Napoli around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Alieu Njie’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad12 Sep 2039

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alieu Njie

130 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Napoli lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match10 Sep 2039

Derby day misery for Napoli

Losing 1‑2 is one thing; losing to AS Roma in a derby is a wound that takes months to close.

Squad12 Sep 2039

Billy Gilmour keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Napoli may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad12 Sep 2039

Josep Martínez keeps Napoli in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad12 Sep 2039

Tempers go at Napoli

Alessandro Buongiorno was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market12 Sep 2039

Jivayno Zinhagel wants more than Napoli are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Player ratings12 Sep 2039

Jivayno Zinhagel runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market12 Sep 2039

Napoli sign Lukas Junuzovic with one eye on the future

Nobody at the club will say out loud who this signing is for, which is how you know exactly who it is for. Lukas Junuzovic has been brought in to take a shirt somebody is still wearing.

Loan watch12 Sep 2039

Manuel Negri counts the days

“I watch every Napoli game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Cavese runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
