👉Coppa Italia, what a collapse, Frosinone to the Quarterfinals
Napoli get 4 slaps
👉Milan, one coup after another one
January, 30 million set aside
Frosinone conquered a prestigious victory defeating Napoli in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 on Tuesday 19 December 2023 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. Incredible, Napoli are for the third year in a row out of the Round of 16 of the Italian Cup. Let’s give full credit to this historic result accomplished by Frosinone eliminating Italy’s Champions. The fact is that Napoli suffered a major blow, a total knockout in front of their fans. Frosinone will play in the Quarterfinals against the winner between Juventus and Salernitana.
It all happened in the second half. Frosinone broke the deadlock in the 65th minute with a corner kick taken perfectly by Garritano towards the center where Berrenechea headed it toward the far post. The second goal came in the 70th minute with Di Lorenzo making a complete mistake, sending Caso through on goal who, face to face with Gollini, made no mistake and doubled the score. Napoli collapsed completely in injury time, conceding two goals: Di Lorenzo overpowered Gelli in the area, granting a penalty to Frosinone, with Cheddira scoring centrally. In the 95th minute, the poker comes with Harroui who is served perfectly by Lirola, then beats Gollini towards the right post.
👉 Stats before the game: Frosinone is the team that Napoli has faced the most times without ever losing, considering all competitions: eight Neapolitan victories and two draws in 10 matches. Napoli have won all of their last six matches against Frosinone, considering all competitions; the Neapolitans have a longer streak of successes only against Sampdoria (nine). Napoli and Frosinone have faced each other in the Italian Cup on only one occasion so far: on 19 August 2006 the Neapolitans prevailed with a score of 3-1. After having reached the round of 16 of the Italian Cup for eight consecutive seasons, Napoli was eliminated in the most recent two, against Fiorentina and Cremonese; on both occasions the match ended in a draw in the 90 minutes (2-5 after extra time against the Viola, 6-7 after penalties against the Grigiorossi). Frosinone will play in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup for the first time in their history; the Ciociari have won their last two matches in the competition and have only achieved three consecutive successes once (August 2013).
Lineup NAPOLI (4-3-3): Gollini; Zanoli, Ostigard, Natan, Mario Rui (9’ st Di Lorenzo); Cajuste, Demme (9’ st Lobotka), Gaetano; Lindstrom (28’ st Politano), Simeone (18’ st Osimhen), Raspadori (18’ st Kvaratskhelia).

👉Napoli, Diego’s derby
Barça can be beaten. Today the other cup with Frosinone
👉Beware of Kane
Lazio, it couldn’t have been worse. Bayern and the man with €100m
👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 16 RESULTS / Sixteenth Round on Friday 15, Saturday 16, Sunday 17, and Monday 18 December 2023. The battle for the Scudetto remains a two-way race. The race is very tight between Inter with 41 points and Juventus with 37 points. Juventus slowed down the race after their draw with Genoa.
AC Milan returned to win defeating Monza with a 3-0. Milan have now 32 points just -5 points below Juventus and -9 below Inter. For the moment, we might say the Rossoneri are still dreaming with the Scudetto.
What a flop for Roma falling at the Dall’Ara Stadium losing their 6th position and going down to the 7th position. Surely, it is party time for Bologna with this prestigious victory also representing their 4th place reaching 28 points. Bologna are now in the European zone and will have to keep up their sprint race because Roma will surely increase their speed to regain in the next rounds their standings.
Another flop is for Lazio because they lost their home game beaten by Inter thanks to the goals of King Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram. Fiorentina also celebrates after beating Hellas Verona. Fiorentina and Napoli have 27 points just -1 point below Bologna. Inter are rocking and for the moment they are the absolute leaders making a statement that they want to win the Scudetto.
Atalanta with eighth success of the season in Serie A overtook Roma (25 points) and rose to seventh place in the standings with 26 points, giving continuity to last Saturday’s 3-2 against AC Milan. Salernitana, however, remain in last place in the standings and is now five points away from safety. It’s chaos for Salernitana and they need to start asking for a miracle to survive.
Bologna move top four, blanking Roma 2-0 as Inter increase their lead at the 🔝 of Serie A after a dominant victory over Lazio. 👀
