Napoli put on a show in Florence: Conte impresses for 80 minutes | OneFootball

At Franchi, one of the most brilliant performances of Antonio Conte's Napoli took place. For nearly eighty minutes, the blues showcased spectacular, aggressive, and engaging football, leaving little room for Fiorentina. Only in the last fifteen minutes, due to some changes that disrupted the balance, the violas managed to partially get back into the game.

Gazzetta: "A spectacle of total football, then a few chills in the end"

The Gazzetta dello Sport talks about "total football", highlighting how Napoli imposed their strength and ideas naturally: "Napoli is a spectacle of total football, only suffering in the last quarter of an hour, ahead by three goals, when the turnover disrupts some balance and Lucca can't hold a ball". An analysis that highlights the superiority of Conte's men, capable of dominating for a long time and managing the different moments of the match.

The final result, 1-3, fully rewarded the blue team, which could have even rounded up the score given the many opportunities created. Among the protagonists of the evening stands out Frank Anguissa, defined as an "all-around midfielder" for his all-round impact, both in the interception and in the construction phase. Sam Beukema, on the other hand, found his first goal in Serie A, enhancing an already solid debut in defense. Fiorentina, on the contrary, gave the impression of not being able to find adequate countermeasures. Pioli's late changes only partially limited the final reaction, which was still insufficient. For Conte, the satisfaction of an authoritative performance remains, with the feeling of a Napoli that continues to grow, ready to also measure itself on the European stage.
