NAPOLI TURN IN FIVE-STAR SHOW


Napoli bounced back in emphatic fashion from their opening-day defeat in Serie A with a 5-0 demolition of Udinese at the Stadio Friuli.

Edoardo Reja watched his side beaten 2-0 at home by Cagliari in their first game in the top flight after being promoted last season, but the coach would have been left proud at the manner of their first victory.

Summer recruit Marcelo Zalayeta set the Azzurri on their way in Udine firing them ahead in the 16th minute, before Maurizio Domizzi doubled the advantage four minutes before the break.

Ezequiel Lavezzi and Zalayeta made it four with Roberto Sosa rounding up a convincing victory that gives Napoli their first points of the new campaign.

The result is a real blow for Udinese coach Pasquale Marino, who saw his side fight from a goal down in their opening game to steal a 1-1 draw at champions Internazionale last week.

And Marino would have been satisfied with the start his team made as Fabio Quagliarella and Gyan Asamoah produced good openings early on with the former almost almost edging them ahead after seven minutes with a shot from inside the penalty area that drifted inches wide.

The visitors hit back in the 15th minute when a curling free-kick from the right by Manuele Blasi sat up nicely for Lavezzi, who could only fire over.

A minute later Napoli did take the lead, though, as Lavezzi's run down the left ended with a pin-point cross for Zalayeta to guide home.

Quagliarella was again in action shortly after when he forced Gennaro Iezzo in the visiting goal to save with his feet after a muscling run into the penalty area.

The young Italy international was an ever-present in the Napoli penalty area and he again forced Iezzo to scramble with a teasing shot from 25 yards that drifted slightly wide.

But Napoli were also intent to pour forward and were denied a penalty when Cristian Zapata looked to have fouled Lavezzi only for the referee to wave play on.

In the 41st minute they were not to be denied though as Marek Hamsik's corner from the left was picked up by Zalayeta, who laid the ball on for Domizzi to tap in at the far post.

The second half started with the tireless Quagliarella forcing Iezzo to punch the ball away from 10 yards.

In the 65th minute it was three when Lavezzi was on hand to finish off a Walter Gargano right-side pass.

Five minutes later an error from defenders Zapata and Andrea Dossena - both missed an easy long-ball - allowed Gianluca Grava to pick out Uruguay international Zalayeta for his second.

And in the 81st minute, Udinese goalkeeper Antonio Chimenti missed an easy catch allowing substitute Sosa to cash in and tap the ball into an empty net rounding of a fine win.

Serie A Reflections: Napoli's Epic Feat

Luca Manes reflects on Napoli's stunning 5-0 away win over Udinese, and how that sets up their Serie A campaign.

Napoli’s last away game in Serie A was a pretty sad affair. On that particularly scorching June day, six years ago, the Naples club was relegated after a troublesome season.

Relegaton was bad enough, but the Azzurri supporters didn’t know what was to follow. They were to go through a terrible patch, experiencing the brutal low of Serie C and a series of disappointing campaigns in Serie B.

So, last Sunday the tifosi traveled to Udine, wary of another possible black day. True, there would be no relegation, but just the week before Napoli had lost to the unfancied Cagliari in front of a passionate home crowd.

It was a massive disappointment. At the old San Paolo there were nearly 50,000 people ready to hail an inspired Azzurri inspired performance, but Foggia - just picked by Donadoni for the Euro 2008 qualifying games - had different plans for the visitors.

The Sardinian side won it quite easily, leaving Napoli and the Neapolitans in great despair.

The ultras were already on a war path, as they thought volcanic president Aurelio De Laurentiis had not done enough to strengthen the squad - and then this. Honestly, their ire was a bit harsh on him.

In fact De Laurentiis had taken control of the club when it was still in Serie C, being successful in his quest for a Serie A revival; the idea that he doesn't care enough about his hometown club is inconceivable.

During the transfer window, he signed some promising South American young guns like Gargano and Lavezzi, ex-Brescia starlet Hamsik and a couple of very experienced former Juventus players in Zalayeta and Blasi.

While the Napoli executives believed that was enough to reach a place in Serie A top ten, the tifosi wouldn’t agree. Manager Edy Reja was also tipped to be on his way out, possibly as the very first coach of the season to be sacked in the top divisions. But then a dream came true.

Napoli strolled to a fantastic 5-0 win some thousand kilometers far from home in what was by far the biggest shock of day 2 of the Italian league.

After the aforementioned defeat at hands of Cagliari and a dull game in Italian Cup, won only on penalties against struggling Livorno, the Azzurri crushed Udinese - the very same team that only a week earlier was capable to snatch away a point against mighty Inter at San Siro.

After that performance, some pundits claim that the Bianconeri could be the biggest surprise of the season, possibly capable of a UEFA Cup berth.

“El Panteron” Zalajeta and Lavezzi were the heroes in an almost perfect encounter. The Uruguayan scored a brace, showing he can still be a threat for every Serie A defense, while the Argentinean netted a terrific goal, delivering some quality assists and passes throughout the game.

Well, in Naples it looks like South Americans feel really at home, doesn’t it? But it's important not to get carried away. Fortunately the fans and the media haven’t yet compared Lavezzi with that number 10 just yet (he was Argentinean as well, his name was Diego and his left foot was “pretty good”... any guesses?).

More realistically, though, they said the former San Lorenzo forward resembles Carlitos Tevez. Well, there’s plenty of time to see if he’s better or not than the Apache. For the meantime the Azzurri can rely on a quality player who is definitely a great prospect.

He’s only 22, but he’s got personality, charisma and drive - just like Domizzi, the Azzurri best defender and also scorer of the incredibly important 2-0 goal in the Udinese game.

If you also take into account that Iezzo is a good goalkeeper – and that he’s not as old as the vast majority of the Italian goalies performing this year in Serie A – and that other Uruguayan new face was a boost for the midfield in term of quality and quantity, you can affirm that maybe De Laurentiis and Reja can still dream of a great season.

Two Italian players, striker Calaiò and classy midfielder De Zerbi can be added value if they can manage to raise their standard of play. So, things are shaping up well.

Right now, though, the tifosi have to keep their feet on the ground. Consistency is the to a successful campaign. They cannot  forget that, even as they indulge in some early celebrations.

Actually, though, there is another reason to celebrate  the Udinese demolition: Napoli had not won 5-0 away from home for the last 78 years.

Can that be a good omen for a long-awaited Serie A revival? Under the Volcano, they can’t wait to see if that’s the case.
