Napoli and Fiorentina met this Thursday for the round of 16 of the Italian Cup, a fundamental commitment for Spaletti‘s team, considering how close and tough everything is in Calcio.
Colombian David Ospina was the starter, which suggests that his experience was vital in the engagement. However, an unexpected event drew attention and left everyone at the Diego Maradona stadium without explanation.
In addition, when the duel was 1-1 and without the goalkeeper appearing to have suffered any physical problems, Meret appeared on the field. What happened? Finally the official version was known.
Napoli reported that the goalkeeper “suffered a resentment in his left calf”, which is why he could not continue on the field and was replaced by Meret.
Initially it was speculated that they could pass a bill of payment to him for the goal of Vlahovic, in an action in which the Antioqueño came out to try to take away the angle of the shot, but the attacker defined him from above and punished him.
Someone else suggested that the DT wanted to push the rotation in the goal to the limit, giving Ospina a time and Meret another, burning a change in a game that was very complex for the homeowner and he ended up losing 2-5 . For Meret, just in case, Fiorentina will give four of those five goals.
Now the great concern is for the Colombia National Team, as there are only 15 days left for the qualifying match against Peru and Ospina is one of the irreplaceable in this and all previous administrations. It is expected that the decision to change was also a precaution and there is no risk to call it in a few days.
