TUTTOMERCATOWEB VISIT — In a Tuttomercatoweb.com radio interview, former goalkeeper Michelangelo Rampulla shared his view of Juventus and Napoli's start to the campaign, as well as first impressions of some new faces in Serie A. Rampulla first discussed Luciano Spalletti's statements about Randal Kolo Muani. "Kolo Muani è pur semper alla prima partita, si è allenato quindici giorni e già pretendiamo che faccia tre gol. Di certo ha sbagliato quella grande occasione, ma se iniziamo a criticarlo aspramente dopo una sola gara secondo me sbagliamo," said Rampulla, which we have translated and presented according to the original interview. He made it clear that although the player made a mistake on a big occasion, it is not reasonable to criticize a player completely after only the first match and after training for only fifteen days. He added that he didn't expect Kolo Muani to 'go with 25 goals' immediately, but Rampulla emphasized that when the team plays in the right rhythm it can give space for the player to show his value: "Non sarà la punta da 25 gol, ma se la squadra gioca ad un certo ritmo può essere valorizzato."

Next, he gave an opinion about Conceicao: "A me piace, è un calciatore che salta l'uomo, il che ormai è una cosa rara. Certo, dev'essere più bravo nel concludere l'azione. Forse serve riempire di più l'area di rigore, anche per agevolare le sue giocate." Rampulla praised Conceicao's ability to dribble and pass the opponent — a trait he says is rare in the modern game — but he also mentioned the need to improve finishing attacks and the possible tactic of filling the inside of the penalty area to facilitate his individual moves. Rampulla also addressed his impression of "primo Napoli di Allegri": "Se l'Inter è in prima fila il Napoli è subito sotto. Gli azzurri hanno giocato in maniera pragmatica, soffrendo un po' di più nel primo tempo per poi colpire nella repressa. Quando puoi fare certi cambi di certo hai la possibilità di lottare per lo scudetto." According to him, if Inter is the leader, Napoli is one of the following teams; he described Napoli's game as pragmatic — holding out in the first half and hitting in the second — and emphasized the importance of bench depth in the title chase. Finalizing the matter of the officials' decisions, Rampulla said that in his opinion the pulling of Bruyne was a foul: "Sul tema arbitrale dico però che quella di Bruyne era una spinta fallosa." This is the summary of his observations that affected the flow of the game according to the interview. Rampulla's remarks give advice for a more calm judgment of new players after only the first phase of the competition, and also remind of the tactical aspects — from attacking style to the importance of change from the bench — that will play a big part in the course of Serie A this season.

What's next

In the next matches, Kolo Muani is expected to have more opportunities to show his ability in Serie A. Juventus needs to provide the right support and rhythm in the game to boost his performance. The next matches will be important not only for Kolo Muani but also for the overall progress of the team in the league.
