Ex Lazio Star’s Anonymous Display In Napoli 1-1 Inter Milan Serie A Draw Branded ‘Ectoplasmic’ | OneFootball

Joaquin Correa has been branded as “ectoplasmic” for his anonymous second half performance in yesterday’s draw between Napoli and Inter Milan.

Today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, give a scathing review of the former Lazio forward’s display.

Joaquin Correa had a tough job in yesterday’s Serie A showdown at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The Argntine came on for Marcus Thuram in the second half of the match.

Thuram had huffed and puffed leading the line for the Nerazzurri. But he had still shown clear signs of rust coming back from injury.

And in truth, Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez had done little better.

Therefore, counterattacks and direct balls to the forwards looked the obvious route forward.

The starting strike partnership of Thuram and Martinez was hardly offering that.

Therefore, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi decided to withdraw an exhausted-looking Thuram. Joaquin Correa replaced the Frenchman., therefore

However, if anything, Correa was even less helpful in terms of his holdup play.

The 30-year-old lacked the physicality and intensity to really push the Napoli defense back. In the view of the Corriere, his presence was downright “ectoplasmic.”
