The Georgian player’s debut in the top flight confirms the expectations on his account and not just for the goal scored against Verona.
In fact, the exultations of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at the “Bentegodi” in Verona there were three, in sequence: the first is with the points closed in motion, associated with a liberating scream. The second, on the other hand, is the iconic one “Night, Night” which has characterized the last periods of Steph Curry, NBA star. The third is more ambitious: it turns to the camera and yes “pull your hat down”in a bow.
The fact is that we cannot even speak of the Georgian player in terms of “surprise”, since since Aurelio De Laurentiis announced his purchase everyone has defined him as one of the most interesting shots in the transfer market, and not only in the Napoli.
For him, the experiences he put in, despite being a class of 2001, before his arrival in Italy speak for himself: we have said of the flexibility, dynamism, importance of the two phases. He most likely hit in the most unexpected way, with his head.
Because after the farewell of Lorenzo Insigne someone gave him the label of “heir”, which in these cases is never very good: what does he do? He responds with a winning header, giving the momentary equal to Napoli against Verona.
In the preseason, in truth, the first signs were already clear enough: Luciano Spalletti he already deems it irreplaceable, but we must go slowly and above all with lead feet.
Both because the expectations about him, even more so after the opening match, grow from week to week, and because football is so unpredictable that you can find yourself having to deal with a period that is not too positive just after having surprised everyone. positive.
However, Kvaratskhelia must not think about this, on the contrary: the Napoli striker can safely continue to work as he is doing, scoring and churning out assists.
What is certain is that making his debut in the Italian top league like this is not for everyone, especially in this Naples, deeply marked by the “historical” farewells of Insigne and Mertens: because then we talk about history.
With the net at the Bentegodi Kvaratskhelia became the third Georgian footballer to score a goal in Serie A after Kahkha Kaladze e Levan Mchedlidze. “Kvara” has given himself a first dream appointment: the rest will be the field to tell.
