Napoli were supposed to be a team lost without the leadership of Maurizio Sarri but the 3-2 win suggests there could be a different tale to tell this season
Maurizio Sarri can have few regrets over his decision to swap Serie A for the Premier League. Three games into the new season, his Chelsea team have piled up nine points and eight goals. Before this weekend’s victory over Newcastle, he suggested that the football played in England was also less predictable. “In Serie A,” he said, “at 2-0 after 20 minutes the match is finished.”
It was always a peculiar comment, for a man whose Napoli team earned 28 points from losing positions last season. A day later, his former charges took it upon themselves to demonstrate how wrong he was: bouncing back from just such a deficit to beat Milan at the Stadio San Paolo. On Sunday, Torino reinforced the point as they rescued a point under identical circumstances away to Inter.
