The Naples of Walter Mazzarri is one of the most agreeable surprises of the Calcium in what it goes of campaign. After starting the period gone on to the rhythm of the big ones, those of San Paolo experienced a disappointing bassoon and it seems that of that they have learned in this campaign. The project that in the long term there designed Aureliano de Laurentis, son and nephew of the famous producers of Italian movies, to return to the Neapolitan set the nobility that it went so far as to have in the eighties has a more and more definite base, especially with the definitive explosion of young Marek Hamsik, leader of the mundialista Slovakia, and the recovery of the Mexican-American Lavezzi for the cause, which not long ago was renewed up to 2015, two guarantees to construct a team capable of aspiring to the big levels.

But it did not begin well the thing. The balance in the first seven league days, with Roberto Donadoni to the control, was disastrous and the Naples was pointing at a new bang. There it was when it took control of Laurentis, changing technician. The charge gave to a search his lives as Walter Mazarri, a different man and with many eccentricities, which he has trained in five teams and it has never been stopped. It always leaves before that happen and between his credit it has an ascent with the Livorno, a miraculous salvation with the Reggina and an European classification and Cup subchampionship with the Sampdoria, where his biggest achievement was to recover Cassano for the soccer. From his arrival, the Naples has chained a marvelous gust of nine victories, six ties and the only one defeats in 16 days ligueras, what it has placed to him like the fourth. The defeat, precisely, harvested this weekend.
The best of this Naples, which plays with three behind and a midfield much populated to exercise pressure and to have the leather, is his future perspective. First of all it is necessary to stop in, for me, his best player, sensational Ezequiel Lavezzi. There was tried to hang the weight of supplanting the Maradona myth in San Paolo, after his first big period … Such an atrocity even could have spent invoice to him. The true thing is that top talks each other of a magnificent second, fully of force and resource, with enormous quality, but with few ripeness. The worst Lavezzi enemy is the proper Lavezzi and in fact in the second part of the past period his yield was disappointing. Fortunately, in this campaign Lavezzi it has gone of less to more and one hopes that it breaks it again shortly, after the injury that it has had out in the last weeks.

Nevertheless, Lavezzi has to give more. His polemic character and his life out of the fields does not go in consonance with what a height professional is demanded … it is said that it has gone so far as to go away to Buenos Aires making use of two days of rest only and exclusively to enjoy for a few hours of the night of Buenos Aires. Be or not like that, we are before a jugadorazo that to little that centers more it will end up exploiting definitely: till now it has played at a superlative level, but he still lacks to have more goal, perhaps his biggest lack.

The best thing of everything is that Lavezzi is not alone. Marek Hamsik, the second top Slovak who also can play in bands, is leaving. It came along with the Argentinian, when the Naples returned to the Series A. Recorded with less than 18 years by the Brescia for the derisory quantity for 500.000 euros, in 06/07 it did a very good campaign, so that Of Laurentis he wanted to incorporate it into his project.

With 22 years, two more than Lavezzi, and two very good campaigns behind him, even the point of being nominated in the better 2008 a young player of the Calcium, has come his definitive explosion. His goals average was concerning the nine for period. Nevertheless, at this point already supreme eight. It beats him formidably well with two legs and from behind it comes with an enviable ease. His child’s face is deceitful, because piety does not show any. It takes Pavel Nedved as an idol and the Czech myth has already said when they have asked him that it sees in him his heir.

And there is more. Other of these economic signings that lately does Of Laurentis is the Tank Dennis who, of course, is still not even the shade of what was in his last year in Independent. The urguayo Gargano, of 25 years, which is a drying mediocentro of those that everybody wants to have, or the emergent Cigarini, a midfielder of creative cut, something that the team was lacking until Mazarra came and placed trust in him, they are different of the keys of a set that arrives it rests very much on the goals of Quagliarella, habitual of the selection and man who always usually expires above. This summer was recorded to reach port more beaten and at the moment it is expiring with seven screams.

Substitute is to Quagliarella and Dennis Edwin Hoffer. Like Hamsik, he is 22 years old. His soccer still has not been consolidated in the Calcium, although it will not be late. Product of the quarry of the Rapid of Vienna, it is the big hope of the Austrian soccer. In the past campaign he signed 27 goals and became a leader of his selection, doing a doublet before Romania that served to gain the most important meeting. The Naples has hired this summer and at the moment scarcely he has enjoyed of minutes. But it will exploit if everything goes well because, demonstrated it is that San Paolo is the ideal place for it.

This Naples excites for many motives. First, because quarter goes and his presence takes a fancy possibly in the Champions League. But, especially, because it records well and places trust in an exceptional generation of soccer players that up to a few years, if it keeps on evolving as now, might fight for everything. Perhaps he lacks a killer, but everything will come with From Laurentis.
