Fedele’s double grades dissect Napoli’s split display in Genoa-Napoli

Enrico Fedele praised Napoli’s 0-2 victory over Genoa in the Genoa-Napoli clash, calling the first half a “slap” and the second half impeccable, and he awarded the visitors a double grade of A− for the opening period and A+ for the finish.

Fedele explained that he started his assessment with a double vote because Napoli displayed two completely different faces against Genoa. The ex‑football director said the contrast justified separate grades for each half.

He described the opening period as a “primo tempo da schiaffi”, implying a slap‑like performance from the visitors. According to Fedele, Napoli’s play in that phase was far from their usual standards.

The second half, by contrast, was labeled “impeccable” by Fedele, reflecting a sharp turnaround in quality. He noted that Napoli’s resurgence turned the match in their favour.

Fedele stressed that the ultimate importance lies in the three points earned, which he called deserved after a game where Napoli overturned the deficit thanks to clear athletic superiority when Genoa “literally exploded”. The points place Napoli on a solid start to the championship.

The commentary appeared in the newspaper Il Roma, where the grades were recorded as Stampa A− A+. Fedele’s dual assessment highlights the stark shift in Napoli’s performance across the two halves.
