Torino, Simeone the giant-killer: after Lazio, Roma, downs Napoli | OneFootball

Last night, Napoli was defeated at the Grande Torino stadium in the match against Marco Baroni's team. The decisive goal was scored by one of the many former players, Giovanni Simeone, who, the day before the game, did not hide his excitement about facing the Azzurri and meeting his former teammates again.

Simeone the Striker is Back: Already Three Goals at the Start of the Season

Giovanni Simeone is back to doing what he does best: scoring. In the summer, the "cholito" left Napoli as he was not part of Antonio Conte's plans, who decided to focus on Lorenzo Lucca and later, after Lukaku's injury, also on Hojlund. The Argentine striker is not disappointing expectations and has resumed hitting the net and being decisive, this time wearing the Torino jersey. He has played for many teams in Serie A: Genoa, Fiorentina, Cagliari, Verona, Napoli, and now the Torino chapter. The Neapolitans bought him three seasons ago from the Scaligeri after he scored an impressive eighteen goals in the league.

Since the start of this season, he has already scored 3 goals, which have earned his team 6 points out of the 8 accumulated so far. The curiosity lies in the teams Simeone has scored against: Roma, Lazio (his favorite victim), and Napoli. Precisely the Azzurri, the club he had to leave in the summer, which will always remain in his heart for having made history with two Scudetti won, as well as fulfilling his dream of scoring in the Champions League.

As mentioned, he was not the only former player on the field yesterday. Other familiar faces between Napoli and Torino were: Milinkovic-Savic, Buongiorno, Elmas for the Azzurri, and Ngonge and Zapata for the Granata.
