Napoli Digest - 14 April 2014

So, one day after Rafa Benitez took some of the credit for Gonzalo Higuain getting a hat-trick against Lazio, the Argentine had some things to say about the matter as reported here by Football Italia. To be honest, after Rafa gave him a bit of a dressing down it was nice to Gonzalo react in exactly the right way. Meanwhile, UEFA pointed out that Higuain scored his first hat-trick for the club exactly 29 years after legend Diego Maradona did the same thing! Woof

Elsewhere, CalcionNapoli24 has pointed out a similarity between the duo of Higuain and Dries Mertens with the old double act of Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani.

Transfer stories are never far away and today is no different. Italian Football Daily are convinced that a revolution in midfield will be had this summer with Jorginho the only survivor...

Is Maxime Gonalons going to be part of this revolution? Tuttonapoli has a theory. The Lyon website does not have a picture of the club captain in any promotional material for next seasons jersey! Gonalons himself has been talking as reported here by Football Italia.
