Gateano Sollazzo and Daniel Russo join Joe Fischetti to discuss Napoli’s 2-1 victory over Juventus, following wins against Atalanta,Qarabag, Roma and Calgiari, including:
Part 1
How the additions of David Neres and Noa Lang have injected much needed pace and creativity into the Partenopei’s against, allowing Rasmus Højlund to get back onto the score sheet
