Zerbin entered the game with less than ten minutes left on the clock, tapping in a corner at the back post after 84 minutes Substitute Alessio Zerbin needed just five minutes on the pitch to score twice, propelling Napoli to a 3-0 win over Fiorentina in their Italian Supercup semi-final on Thursday.
Zerbin entered the game with less than ten minutes left on the clock, tapping in a corner at the back post after 84 minutes at full stretch, inadvertently hitting his head on the upright at the same time.
Returning from treatment, the 24-year-old scored his second two minutes later, taking possession in midfield and going on a run to the edge of the box, where he unleashed an angled drive into the far bottom corner.
“Zerbin has incredible qualities. Unfortunately, people are obsessed with bringing in players from abroad and tend to ignore those who are homegrown,” Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri told Mediaset.
“He scored two great goals, but he is young, lacking in maturity in some situations, so we need a little patience. But I am convinced he will have a great future.”(HT)
