Napoli hosted Juventus for the 14th fixture of Serie A at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona; the game ended with an entertaining Napoli win that keeps them in the title race.

Napoli have looked great since the international break despite numerous injuries limiting the team’s options, especially in midfield.

Those injuries did not affect the team’s results, confirming that this side and its players have the personality and the high level of responsibility needed to challenge for the title until the last fixture.

And with the direct title rivals dropping points, Napoli are making significant strides towards confirming their place among the top three, especially with crucial wins against teams like Juventus.

On the other hand, Juventus have not been good enough in terms of results, with a few draws and only a win in the last league game before losing to Napoli.

Juventus missed the chance of getting even closer to the top four and retreated to the seventh spot following this loss.

More stability and clearer ideas are definitely needed for the team to perform well with consistency and avoid moments of confusion on big occasions.

In this tactical analysis article, our attention will be centred on Napoli’s attacking solutions in this match and how they were able to exploit Juventus’ defensive weaknesses and create several goalscoring chances.

The analysis will also shed some light on Juventus’ tactical experimentation and on how they were able to score their single goal of the game.

There are a lot of derbies in the Bundesliga, but there are two that stand out among the rest.

The first one is the Revierderby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04, but with Schalke in the second division for now, the derby won’t take place this season.

The Nordderby between Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV shared the same fate for a long time.

While it was the most-played game in the Bundesliga for a long time, HSV were relegated in 2018, and therefore, the game was not played in the Bundesliga for seven years.

There were two Nordderbies in the second division during the 2021/2022 season; the game on Sunday was the first Nordderby in the Bundesliga since 2018.

For HSV and Merlin Polzin, the game was the highlight of the week.

Despite playing in the DFB-Pokal during the week, the entire club was very focused on the game.

For Werder Bremen coach Horst Steffen, the game was important, but the club took a calmer approach, treating it like every other game.

With the fans being on fire, a lot of pyrotechnics, two cities on the edge because of the game, the atmosphere was astounding.

In the end, the game held everything people were hoping for.

The first half was more tame; both teams were focused on not conceding and their work against the ball, so there weren’t a lot of big opportunities for any team.

The game got way faster in the second half, with four goals in 20 minutes, and, in the end, HSV emerged as the victor at Volksparkstadion, crowning themselves king of the north.

In this tactical analysis and post-match analysis, we will look at how Werder and HSV approached the game, how the game developed, and why HSV were victorious in the end.

Will Lankshear (born 2005) is an English striker who has made a name for himself with a sharp eye for goal, clever movement, and a mentality that thrives on taking chances when they come.

Currently on loan at Oxford United from Tottenham Hotspur, Lankshear is the kind of forward who always looks dangerous in the box.

He reads the game well, times his runs perfectly, and has a knack for turning small openings into goals.

His journey hasn’t been straightforward.

After stints at Arsenal and Sheffield United’s academies, Lankshear burst onto the scene by leading Sheffield United’s U18s to the Professional Development League Division 2 title in 2021/2022, scoring 38 goals in 48 youth appearances.

That form earned him a £2m move to Spurs in 2022, a big step that reflected both his talent and potential.

At Spurs, he didn’t slow down.

He netted 23 goals in the 2023/2024 Premier League 2 season and capped it off with a brace in the play-off final against Sunderland, earning Player of the Season honours.

He has since made his senior debut in the UEFA Europa League, even scoring in one of his first appearances, and is now testing himself in the demanding EFL Championship.

Internationally, Lankshear has made an impact at every youth level for England, scoring on his U19 debut and progressing to U20 and U21 squads, marking him as one of the country’s most promising young forwards.

What makes Lankshear stand out isn’t just his finishing, it’s his timing, intelligence, and composure in front of goal.

He reads the game well, moves into the right spaces, and rarely misses when opportunities come his way.

This Will Lankshear scout report and player analysis will take a closer look at his loan spell at Oxford United, his development since joining Tottenham, and the qualities that make him one of England’s most exciting young strikers, with the potential to rise to the top levels of the game.
