Lucca and Bonny Separate Ways Following Summer Transfers
Lorenzo Lucca and Ange-Yoan Bonny have taken contrasting paths following their summer transfers, significantly influencing their respective teams’ performances this season.
Lorenzo Lucca’s Struggles at Napoli
Currently playing for SSC Napoli, Lorenzo Lucca has faced challenges this season. In nine appearances, he has managed to score just one goal.
Lucca’s recent form has raised questions about his position within the team. Coach Antonio Conte experimented with David Neres as a false nine, indicating that Lucca may start on the bench in the upcoming match against Inter Milan.
- Team: Napoli
- Position: Striker
- Goals this season: 1 in 9 matches
- Recent matches: Two consecutive losses
Despite being brought in during the summer, Lucca’s performance has not aligned with expectations. Napoli’s struggles include back-to-back defeats in various competitions, putting additional pressure on the team.
Ange-Yoan Bonny Shines for Inter Milan
On the other hand, Ange-Yoan Bonny, who joined Inter Milan during the summer, has significantly impacted the team. In just ten appearances, he has netted three goals and provided four assists, establishing himself as a key player.
Bonny’s ability to substitute for the injured Marcus Thuram has been crucial. His excellent form has helped Inter secure seven consecutive victories.
- Team: Inter Milan
- Position: Forward
- Goals this season: 3 in 10 matches
- Assists this season: 4
- Recent matches: Seven consecutive wins
As Napoli prepares to face Inter at the Stadio Maradona, the divergent fortunes of Lucca and Bonny will be a focal point. Lucca must regain form to help his struggling team, while Bonny will aim to maintain his impressive streak.
