FutMexNation is here to bring you an update on our Azteca’s Abroad after a well rounded weekend of League play.
Serie A
After having a slow start with Napoli and having difficulties producing for his club, Chucky Lozano has slowly begun to regain his form and confidence that brought him to the Italian side. Napoli would pay a visit to Cremona where they would face off a lowly U.S Cremonese side. Chucky started the game off watching his team from the bench but he would see some action in the second half as he entered the game in the 73rd minute for Matteo Politano. He had an effective match as he scored a goal, had two shots on target, had another shot go off target, and had four precise pases along with a 66% passing accuracy. With this win Napoli continues to be at the top of Serie A with 23 points, two points clear of second place Atalanta. Napoli will now shift their focus once again to European Football as they will welcome Ajax for a Champions League matchup.
Eredivisie
After a rough few weeks for Edson Alvarez and Ajax, they were finally able to return to winning ways as they dominated FC Volendam and defeated them 4-2. Edson would go on and play the full 90 minutes where he commanded the midfield. He would go on to win seven duels, had five clearances, had a shot blocked, had an interception, had two shots off target, and 68 precise passes along with a 88% passing accuracy. With this win Ajax currently find themselves in second place with 22 points, just one point shy of current leaders AZ Alkmaar. They will head off to Italy to take on Napoli for the UEFA Champions League.
