The Dutchman did not take his substitution in the match against Parma well. He is being followed by several teams in Turkey: at the moment, he does not seem attracted by the offers, but…

A missed opportunity for Napoli, held to a 0-0 draw by Parma, but now it’s time to turn the page. And cross our fingers: Cristian Stellini admitted that David Neres came off because he was still feeling pain in his ankle, but without him, Napoli can’t break through against closed defenses. We will see if he will be available for Sassuolo, because his dribbling is crucial for Napoli when facing closed teams. David was not at his best, and who knows how he will be today when training resumes. Conte and the medical staff will carefully assess the situation, also because the Brazilian’s impact on the match was not what was hoped for, obviously affected by his ankle problem. Juan Jesus will return from suspension on Saturday and reclaim his place in defense. Spinazzola should also return to the starting lineup on the left: Olivera, like Gutierrez against Verona, did not make the most of his chance and is unlikely to be selected again against Sassuolo. Elmas, who rested for more than an hour yesterday, will also return to the attacking midfield.

The requests—  We will see if he will play with Politano again or if Lang will be given one last chance, Neres permitting: the Dutchman did not take the substitution well, which is understandable, given that he is doing everything he can to try to find confidence and consistency. And the transfer rumors are certainly not subsiding: there is a queue for Lang in Turkey, but at the moment he does not seem attracted by this prospect. However, he needs to play to try to go to the World Cup with the Netherlands. And Napoli needs to sell in order to be able to make transfers.
