Napoli’s Gruelling Pre-Season Grind: Newbie Beukema Steps Up! #NapoliTraining #ForzaNapoli #DimaroFolgarida
In the sweltering heat of Dimaro-Folgarida, Napoli’s squad under Antonio Conte is putting in the hard yards, with fresh face Sam Beukema likely making his debut sweat session after rolling in late last night. Forget the niceties—this is where the real work begins, no pampering for these overpaid athletes.
At 18.08, the scene under the central stand featured players in yellow vests: Anguissa, Raspadori, Juan Jesus and Marianucci. Over in green, it was Mazzocchi, Di Lorenzo and Lobotka, while Zerbin stuck to blue. Meanwhile, Lucca, Simeone, and Politano were milling about, probably wondering if this heat wave is worth the glory.
By 18.06, the group split up for some drills with mini goals, turning what should be a simple warm-up into a chaotic mess of misplaced passes and ego clashes—typical footballer drama.
At 18.01, the team finally hit the pitch as the gates opened, wrapping up a tactical exercise that looked more like organized chaos than precision play.
And right at 18.00, the squad was already out there, gearing up while the world waited for the action to unfold in this third day of pre-season grind. With Beukema in the mix, Napoli’s defense might just get a much-needed kick in the pants—or at least, that’s the hope before the real matches kick off.
