The fact is that no generation of Napoli has ever had nine consecutive victories. Until now. It is also a fact that with 16 goals this Napoli became the most effective Italian team in the first four rounds of the Champions League and broke the record of Lippi’s Juventus (14 goals) from 1995. It is also a fact that Napoli became the first team in the history of European football to give Ajax nine goals in two games. It is also a fact that Napoli passed the group two rounds before the end and joined Real, Brugges, and Manchester City in the round of 16. And all those numbers cannot faithfully describe the quality of football which Napoli plays at the moment. Tonight’s 4:2 win against Ajax was easy and with half the effort.Napoli put ten goals past Ajax in the space of eight days 🥵 pic.twitter.com/TOOiPK1wXD— GOAL (@goal) October 12, 2022 And the fact is that this Napoli has a player who awakened the spirit of Diego Maradona like no one before him. Kudos to Cavani, Insigne, Hamsik, Lavezzi, Higuain, and the other aces who lifted the Neapolitans to their feet in previous years, but the shaggy and crooked Georgian is doing what has not been seen since his majesty ’El Pibe’.Of course, the team is always in charge and praise for this great series of Napoli goes to coach Spalletti, teammates Zielinski, Lozano, Raspadori, and others… But Khvicha Quarachelli is the main architect of the miraculous nine consecutive victories with a brutal goal difference of 29:8! The Georgian also added a goal and an assist tonight. The man has seven goals and seven assists in 13 Champions League and Serie A matches each. And to add to all of this, he scored five goals and three assists in six matches for the Georgian national team too.Lozano ’opened’ Ajax in the fourth minute after a great action with Zielinski who pulled the ball, played a double pass with the Mexican, and sent him the ball which Lozano headed over Pasver. And then Quarachelli started playing football. He passed by three visiting footballers, brought the audience to their feet, and in the 16th minute, after another great penetration, he set up a goal for Raspadori. The young Italian is proving to be a great addition, he perfectly fulfills the role of center forward and scored in the third game of the Champions League, which was achieved by only Del Piero and Ravanelli before him.A glimmer of hope appeared for Ajax at the beginning of the second half when Klaassen scored and reduced the deficit, but the hope was short-lived… Raspadori was replaced by the recovered Osimhen and started harassing the Ajax defense. When Timber handballed, Osimhen was able to take the penalty and score to regain his lost goalscoring confidence after the break. No, instead he pushed the ball into Quarachelli ‘s hands and forced him to shoot. And he was precise. Ajax received a penalty but Osimhen was rewarded for his unselfishness with a goal in the finish for the final 4:2 and Napoli in the round of 16. Ajax is on the verge of elimination if Rangers do not beat Liverpool tonight…UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – GROUP STAGERound 4Tuesday Maccabi Haifa – Juventus 2-0 (2-0)/Atzili 7, 42/Copenhagen – Man.City 0-0Shakhtar – Real Madrid 1-1 (0-0)/Zubkov 46 – Rudiger 90+4/Dortmund – Sevilla 1-1 (1-1)/Bellingham 35 – Nianzou 18/AC Milan – Chelsea 0-2 (0-2)/Jorginho 21 pen, Aubameyang 34/PSG – Benfica 1-1 (1-0)/Mbappe 40 pen – Joao Mario 62 pen/Celtic – RB Leipzig 0-2 (0-0)/Werner 75, Forsberg 84/Dinamo Zagreb – Salzburg 1-1 (0-1)/Ljubicic 41 – Seiwald 12/Wednesday Napoli – Ajax 4-2 (2-0)/Lozano 4, Raspadori 16, Kvaratskhelia 62, Osimhen 89 – Klaassen 49, Bergwijn 83/Atl.Madrid – Club Brugge 0-022.00: (2.55) Sporting (3.40) Olympique Marseille (3.00)22.00: (8.00) Rangers (5.30) Liverpool (1.43)22.00: (1.58) Tottenham (4.30) Eintr.Frankfurt (6.75)22.00: (2.35) Leverkusen (3.50) Porto (3.25)22.00: (1.48) Barcelona (4.70) Inter (8.00)22.00: (15.0) Plzen (8.50) Bayern (1.18)***odds are subject to change
