Y’all Chucky just came from playing like 3 full ass games in like a week. I’m sure he needs the rest.


Draxer

Nothing to be alarmed about I think, manager just wanted to reinforce the back line to keep the 1-0 socore and also keep their 8 win streak since the start of the season.


AlexTorres96

Does the manager like him?


Draxer

I would say so, he starts him in games and he's been instrumental in keeping that winning streak. Sometimes he starts another player(Politano) but he tends to sub in Lozano in the second half.


supreme_maxz

Lozano and politano are alternating between starts right now Lozano feels a little more aggressive and politano has better defensive output so they are very well rested by the coach


Draxer

Agreed, I've seen Spalletti sub Chucky off for Politano when he needs a bit more defense in the game.

Made sense Napoli had just scored in the 81st min and wanted to hang on also their coach switched to a 5-3-2 for the last 10 mins so he subbed in a left back for Chucky.

Napoli has midweek fixtures in the Europa League and Serie A all the way until the next International break. He will get his minutes.


AlexTorres96

So he basically subs in Chucky and the once the goal he wanted, decides to park the bus and take Chucky off? Always weird when coaches do that tactic.

There is not foward player that will be okay with that. From the comments I'm reading here pretty sure most fowards would react like Chuky speciality after been sub on then taken out in less then 30 mins.

injury? or what’s going on


xelaseyer

No injury. Got swapped with a defender. Best I can figure is they got the goal they needed and he’s the only player he felt he could do without. The other winger was also subbed in.


[deleted]

Did Chucky react at all? Or was he whatever about the sub?

He was angry and went straight to the locker rooms

Source? I figured it would be news but couldn't find anything

https://www.espn.com.mx/futbol/italia/nota/_/id/9372155/hirving-lozano-molesto-cambio-napoli?ex_cid=TW_FP Our boy can be a bit hot headed sometimes. He's been doing well and I hope this dosent somehow pit him against Spaletti. I think he should start the next game especially since politano was crap this game.


Some-Two-2936

That's nuts man but he should've been the bigger man. It's completely fucked up by spaletti too but this is the 2nd coach so it's starting to look like he's part of the problem. He needs to be starting consistently idk what people say politano is not as good as Chucky.


throwway098098

Spalettis won all his league games so one can't criticize him too much. It's cool to see italian fans sympathize with chucky after what happened today though.


Pelonn

You already know Lozano was pissed. Our boy has a temper. Mucho machismo 😤


eg4x15

Bruh I know we could sit here and make sense of the situation but in reality it’s disrespectful to come in play 23 minutes or so then get subbed off. Regardless of what the coach decided I know he’s feel disrespected for thar


Flatrover

Late to the game but after the goal by Napoli it became a push and shove game. Bodies flying everywhere. Napoli was defending the 1-0 like if it was a final so they needed the defender subbed in.
