Subsequently – continues the usual post-training report published by the Neapolitan club through its official information channels – the team group played a small match on a reduced pitch. Closing of the session with tactical technical work.

Napoli announced that its number 9 carried out personalized training on the pitch and subsequently carried out part of a group session.
