Napoli sit deep with little threat on the break and Bodø/Glimt want to pass around them. This is the pairing that kills games, however good the two teams are.
Bodø/Glimt press high and Napoli build slowly into it. The ball will be turned over in bad places.
Napoli's squad is valued at €424.5m, Bodø/Glimt's at €79.18m: about five times as much. Gaps like that tend to settle games rather than make contests.
Clear favourites: Napoli.
When they win it back they tend to slow down and build, not break at speed.
“Il Napoli tende maggiormente a costruire che a colpire immediatamente dopo il recupero.”Napoli tend to build up rather than strike straight after winning the ball back. our translation
Napoli do not press high: they wait for you to come to them.
“Così, facendo però la squadra di Allegri rinuncia contemporaneamente a pressione alta (PPDA 24.4!) e presenza immediata nella metà campo offensiva lasciando quasi del tutto il pallone del gioco all’Inter.”In doing so, however, Allegri's side gives up both high pressing (a PPDA of 24.4!) and an immediate presence in the attacking half, leaving the ball almost entirely to Inter. our translation
Against a strong side, Allegri's Napoli are happy to sit deep and let the other team have the ball.
“Appena 60 passaggi dal 54’ al 82’, di cui quasi uno su 3 lunghi, signicano che l’Inter avesse il predominio nel possesso e nel palleggio anche nel terzo offensivo e che il Napoli aspettasse praticamente arroccato in difesa a difendere il fortino per il resto della gara.”Just 60 passes from the 54th to the 82nd minute, almost one in three of them long, mean that Inter dominated possession and passing even in the final third, while Napoli waited, practically barricaded in defence, for the rest of the game. our translation
Kompany on Bodø/Glimt: every one of them runs, defends and presses.
“Every player can run a lot, every player wants to defend and press.”Go a goal up and it tends to wake them rather than worry them. Against Rosenborg they conceded first and then scored four.
“Rosenborg kom best i gang da den nybakte faren Simen Bolkan Nordli satte inn 1–0 for gjestene etter 36 minutter. Da skrudde Glimt på turboen.”Rosenborg started better when the new father Simen Bolkan Nordli put the visitors 1-0 up after 36 minutes. That was when Glimt switched on the turbo. our translation
Almost every time they get near your goal something happens. Opposing coaches say the threat is constant, not occasional.
“– De er klart det beste laget og viser toppnivået sitt. De er farlige hver gang de kommer i våres felt, sier han til NRK.”"They are clearly the best team and are showing their top level. They are dangerous every single time they get into our box," he says to NRK. our translation
