After weeks of duelling from a distance, Napoli and Inter are finally ready to face each other for the second time this season, in the big match at the Maradona Stadium, valid for the 27th round of the Serie A championship. A crucial game for the Nerazzurri and an important test for Josep Martinez.
The Spaniard has become a starter in the past week, after Sommer’s injury. Against Genoa and Lazio he kept a clean sheet, as it happened in the Coppa Italia against Udinese, on his absolute debut. However, today he will face a double novelty.
The challenge against Napoli, in fact, will be his first time wearing the Inter jersey away from San Siro and his first time in a direct confrontation in Serie A. Two substantial novelties that make today’s match a significant test for Martinez. Also for the future, as underlined by the Corriere dello Sport, given the investment of 13 million made in the summer as a possible heir to Sommer.
