The draw of the crosses of the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League left an estelada of interesting parties. One of them will cross to the FC Barcelona and to the Napoli, a historically dominated clash by the Barcelona club and that will have his fifth episode on 21 February and the sixth on 12 March.
In this type of parties between squares of big level, each detail, by small that it was, can be indispensable to decant the scales in favour of a side or another. In this sense, the combined 'Partenopeo' received a very good news when knowing the date in which it will contest the first 'combat' in this series, which is stipulated to develop in the Stadium Diego Armando Maradona.
The distribution of the calendar by part of the UEFA 'will benefit' to the Napoli
As it signals 'SPORT', by reasons of television interests, the attractive clash between napolitanos and culés remained agendado in the last possible day to play this round. This represents an indirect profit for the Italian square, since they are forced to yield to two of his key players to the African Glass of Nations, which will develop between 13 January and on 11 February in Ivory Coast.
In this sense, the Napoli would have to loan to his goleador star, Victor Osimhen (Nigeria), and to one of his stellar midfield players, Frank Zambo Anguissa (Cameroon), to his respective selections in the magna appointment of the African continent. These two pieces form part of groups that split like candidates to do of the trophy or, in his defect, trascend until the high phases of the tournament.
Under this premise, the fact that to the 'Partenopeos' have touched him contest the second date in this first phase of the eighth of the Champions has fallen him as 'ring to the finger'. This is due to that if it had corresponded him in the first date (13/14 February), although for this date the African Glass of Nations already would have finished, so much Osimhen like Anguissa, in the hypothetical case that both or at least one of them contest the final, would arrive with very little time for reincorporarse to the dynamic napolitana and with very little time of rest. Therefore, the fact that the duel in front of the Barcelona contest the later possible has represented a relief for the Italians, that, if at all it changes on the way, will arrive to the duel in front of the Barcelona with all his cool pieces.
