Napoli: McTominay the driving force, newspaper player ratings | OneFootball

Napoli, McTominay is the soul and engine! The newspapers' ratings

Gazzetta dello Sport 7.5 – In the right place at the right time. He opens the scoring with a header, finishes it off with an acrobatic move (with Jankovic’s help). He is the soul and engine of the Azzurri.

Corriere dello Sport 7.5 – A lion in the second half. Goal, forced own goal, and an MVP-worthy performance.

Tuttosport 7.5 – Forced by injuries to diligently occupy his old, deeper position where he was just one of many at United. At Napoli, however, he is always decisive and his runs forward are sensationally impactful, as well as deservedly fortunate.

Repubblica 7.5 – Breaks down the Azeri bunker with a poacher’s goal and then runs riot in the open spaces, causing Jankovic’s own goal.

Il Mattino 7.5 – Killer instinct: in the right place at the right time. A winning header purely on instinct and then a half-overhead kick, not quite like the one against Denmark or Cagliari but still worthy of a great champion. And it hardly matters that it was an own goal. His match changed with the first goal. His surges broke the game open. The goal gave him enthusiasm after an otherwise unconvincing evening, also because he seemed to lack sharpness when he hadn’t been precise in linking up with Bicalho and Zoubir. Then, as always, when Napoli becomes more daring, he comes out of his shell too.
