The decisive reserve striker also in Lecce: his 5 centers gave the Neapolitans 7 points that decide the sprint for the title against Inter. Now the party is only 7 points away….
Five goals that were worth 7 points and an important slice of the Scudetto: Giacomo Raspadori put his signature on the tricolor of Napoli and did so starting from the most uncomfortable place possible for a player trained by Antonio Conte and that is the bench. A condition that Raspadori was sentenced until February, with the exception of the first summer matches, only to discover that he can be very useful to make up for the departure of Kvaratschkelia, the Neres injury and the drops in the condition of the other attackers.
Jack’s golden series began against Venice just before New Year: inside a complicated ending and winning goal to drive away the ghosts. Then the seals at the Olimpico against Lazio (draw 2-2), the useless one of Como not sufficient to avoid defeat and very heavy networks against Fiorentina and Lecce. Total: 7 points earned using raspadori as bomber, more visible work than the tactical one that also played a role in the Neapolitan season finale.
In fact, the blue has allowed Conte to vary his Naples giving him a different face than the 3-5-2 trademark. Near Lukaku or in a slightly more secluded position, it was the extra weapon among those available in a very profound but perfect rose for a season concentrated solely on the championship and without the extra labors faced by Inter of Inzaghi.
Together with MCTominay he finished with being the extra man than the Neapolitans. Much of the Scudetto passes through its networks: 5 in 863 minutes (one every 183 ‘), 23 appearances of which only 8 as a starter. The confirmation that the team entrusted by President De Laurentiis to Conte had important values, not as poor as told during the season. Raspadori Bomber version cannot fail to please Spalletti who involved him in the new cycle of Italy and will need him for the first steps in the qualifying group at the 2026 World Cup.
