Let’s take a look at how yesterday’s friendlies went.

Leicester - Fiorentina 2-0

Fiorentina never really got into the game in Leicester: the Viola played the first half with an experimental lineup and went down by two goals, scored by Ayew and Fatawu.

Fatawu’s 2-0 goal was particularly beautiful: the Leicester player got away in midfield with a sombrero, accelerated, and finished with a curling shot.

The introduction of the starters in the second half wasn’t enough to turn the match around, with the fatigue from training weighing on the Viola’s legs.

Inter - Inter U23 7-2

In-house test for Inter against the newly formed Inter Under 23 coached by Stefano Vecchi.

It was a spectacular match, especially in the first half, with the Under 23s initially taking the lead, conceding an own goal from outside the box and the first goal to new signing Bonny, then equalizing at 2-2 after a Dumfries blunder.

Inter then closed the first half at 3-2 with a penalty from Asllani before pulling away in the second half, including a goal from Pio Esposito, who had just come onto the pitch.

Napoli - Brest 1-2

Antonio Conte’s team lost 2-1 at the Patini in Castel di Sangro against Brest due to a first-half brace from Ajorque.

Still without McTominay on the pitch, but with De Bruyne dropped back to the midfield line and seemingly improving, the Azzurri started off tense and conceded a two-goal deficit.

The performance was much better in the second half. Politano’s introduction was positive, providing the assist for Lorenzo Lucca’s second pre-season goal. Napoli’s final push wasn’t enough for an equalizer.

Pro Patria - Cremonese 0-3

Cremonese cruised past Pro Patria during their training camp in Livigno: Okereke was absent due to the flu, and Nicola fielded new signings Audero, Zerbin, Baschirotto, Grassi, and Pezzella.

The attacking duo of Bonazzoli and De Luca worked well: the former opened the scoring, while the latter had to leave the pitch in the 35th minute due to injury. Baschirotto doubled the lead from a Vandeputte corner at the end of the first half, then in the second half Barbieri scored from an Afena-Gyan assist.

Lecce - Carrarese 1-0

Narrow win for Di Francesco’s Lecce in the last friendly of their pre-season training camp against Carrarese. Camarda was absent, dealing with flu symptoms.

The match was decided by Helgason’s goal in the 34th minute in an otherwise uneventful game.

Südtirol - Verona 2-2

Paolo Zanetti’s Hellas Verona couldn’t get more than a draw against the tough Südtirol. The Veneto side went behind twice, but equalized in the 85th minute through Frese, scoring his second pre-season goal after a serious injury.

Casiraghi and Kofler were the scorers for the red and white team, while once again it was Giovane who scored the temporary 1-1 for Verona.
