The Neapolitan outfit was facing off the Champions League runners-up in a friendly match and managed to pull off a victory in a thrilling game of football.
The Vesuviani head coach was a content man as he witnessed his team overcome the threat of the German giants; the Neapolitan outfit overcame the opposition three goals to two. Mazzarri could not have asked for a better start to
the pre-season.
Despite their eventual victory, things were not looking rosy for the Serie A outfit from the outset, as the Bundesliga outfit took the lead courtesy of Alaba, who tapped the assist from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 into the goal. The Italians
were not overwhelmed by their opposition and fought their way into the match, with Lorenzo Insigne coming close; and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eduardo-Vargas-c12087 distant effort ricocheting off the post.
The Partenopei outfit’s endeavours were going to bear fruit as the club captain converted with a spectacular scissor kick into the goal. After the break, Goran Pandev put the Neapolitan outfit into the lead after a great move initiated
by Juan http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Camilo-c8287 Zuniga. However, the lead was short lived after Shaqiri scored from a free-kick.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lorenzo-Insigne-c22431 converted from a series of rebounds to give the Vesuviani the victory.
Walter Mazzarri’s elation was evident, and even though it was a friendly, the Italian was glad that it culminated in a victory. The tactician was talking to Sky Sport Italia after the match, and among other things, he talked about
the input of Lorenzo Insigne during the match. He went on to comment:
“It is just a friendly, but we are satisfied. We moved well, the team showed that it has quickly assimilated the change in tactics. Insigne is doing well, but he has to relax and stay calm.”
The tactician pointed out the input of Eduardo Vargas; who had come under a lot of pressure for his performances in the Azzurri shirt. The Vesuviani head coach also commented on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Goran-Pandev-c15161, and stated:
“I am happy with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Edu-c12016 Vargas’ performance and he deserved a goal today. He has shown his worth by working with us in pre-season. As for Pandev, we certainly aren’t discovering today that he is a great striker.”
Mazzarri would be hoping that the good form of his players continues into the upcoming campaign. They will be facing off Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana on the 11th of August.
