Andrea Russotto Made This Game Worth Watching

Bologna 0 Napoli 1
This game was so bad I hope nobody else was watching. At times it resembled a Serie B game, and it was only saved by 20 year old Andrea Russotto, who came on for the last 10 minutes. I had never seen Russotto play before, but he was so impressive [...]
Napoli 2 Palermo 1: Zalayeta Comedy Goal Wins It
By: Neil | 10 Comments
There’s just something funny about the way Marcelo Zalayeta plays. At times he’s slow and lumbering, other times he’s quick and powerful. He can put in an inspired and dominant performance, or he can be half asleep. His 75th minute goal was the winner as Napoli defeated Palermo 2-1 at the San [...]
Napoli-Atalanta Game Review: 2-0, La Vendetta!!!
By: fortunato | 1 Comment
With the haunting reminder of the 5-1 thrashing suffered at the hands of Atalanta last December 2 in Bergamo, the Partenopei were looking for revenge in today’s ‘ritorno’ match at the San Paolo in front of an estimated 40,000 plus spectators. Napoli was coming off of a stinker of a game against Catania but this [...]
Napoli-Catania (Guh.)
By: Joe | 4 Comments
The end of the season can’t come quickly enough at this rate. Napoli continued their dismal road showing by getting outclassed and outhustled by a squad in a fight for their relegation lives. Walter Zenga had his Sicilian side motivated on Sunday afternoon against what appeared to be an out-of-sorts Napoli squad.
It is a cruel [...]

Another chapter in the turbulent season that is Napoli’s return to Serie A was written at Reggio Calabria on Saturday. Napoli took an underserved lead in the 31st minute of the second half only to see the full three points slip away on a piece of sloppy defending and clinical finishing in the games final [...]

Three different times yesterday I thought Napoli would get crushed by the machine that is Inter Milan. #1 When I saw the starting lineup. #2 When we scored first (figured we just angered the calcio Gods). #3 When we missed the penalty. I need to check my faith.

Napoli haven’t won a match in their last seven matches (including the flameout in the Coppa Italia against Lazio). Coach Edy Reja was called out on the carpet by our President twice. A second loss against bottom-dwellers Cagliari has upset a once promising start. The tifosi are booing Reja when he takes his garbage out and [...]

A full strength Napoli dispatched Catania 2-nil on Sunday at the Stadio San Paolo. The victory was the first for the Azzurri since the glorious 3-1 defeat against the dark forces of Juventus nearly one month ago. Napoli also kept their first clean sheet in eight matches (Giornata 5 against Livorno) and played the kind [...]

There’s no doubt many Napoli fans went into yesterday’s match against Reggina expecting to walk away with three points. The Amaranto hadn’t won in their first 10 Serie A matches (they did manage to beat Piacenza in the Coppa Italia in late August) and their anemic offense was matched by their porous defense. Reggina have [...]
