Politano stops the Real

Real Sociedad fell in Anoeta against Naples by the minimum because of a solitary goal by Politano in the second half, involuntarily helped by Sagan, who deflected his shot and threw Remiro off the track. It was the only occasion for the Italian team in the entire second half. I do not need more. The rest was a very disciplined, serious and hardened exercise of good defensive work, which completely deactivated the joyful game of the Real, which ended up unhinged seeing that nothing that he tried came out. It was not for trying, from the bench and on the grass. But the light went out for Real and they found no way to find cracks in the defense of Napoli, who took three points with which they left group F. completely equal. Nobody said it was going to be easy. I stop the illusions of the Real, but this story continues. It's time to learn.

Napoli started with a very high pressure, causing much trouble and doubts in the exit of the ball to Real Sociedad, which caused two losses of the ball as soon as they started that could well cost the game at the first change. First Lorenzo Insigne and then Mario Rui entered the kitchen as if they were a butter knife, but fortunately their shots were diverted from Alex Remiro's goal. There were two warnings that woke up Imanol's men, who realized that they had to be more precise when taking the ball from behind.

The Italian team pressed hard with very high pressure, but the Donostiarras began to find David Silva inside, and there they began to generate some danger, which made Napoli doubt, which has already begun to withdraw a little more in their field. Insigne's injury hurt Napoli and allowed Real to find a highway for Gorosabel on the right wing, whose centers could not find a finisher. La Real arrived well at the three-quarter line, but lacked the last pass. Portu, Silva, Merino tried it … but it all ends the same: with a clearance from the very safe defense of Napoli or with the ball getting lost on the baseline. It gave the feeling that the Real finished the first half more fully, but Naples was a fronton in defense, a wall almost impossible to tear down.

After the break, Real tried to take a step forward and went to look for Naples in their field. That high pressure of the royalists caught Naples unawares, which cost them to settle. But the Real did not know how to take advantage of that circumstance, and the Italians were finding their place in the field to begin to have more presence in the field of the Real. And when the forces were equalized, Naples gave a devastating whiplash. Napolitano threw a wall Hysaj and his shot from the front hit Sagnan totally misleading Remiro. It was 0-1. With a little bit, Napoli got ahead and made the most of their offensive baggage. La Real was touched, Imanol moved the bench, took all his gunpowder up, and even changed the system. But nothing came out. Napoli proved to be an expert defending results in their favor and was very comfortable, while Real accumulated sterile possessions that rarely ended on the occasion of a goal. Willian José had a timid option, and Barrenetxea another. Insufficient for a Naples very sure of what it did. This is how the game died, and this is how Naples equaled Real in the group table, which remains very even with the four teams with three points.
