Italian media brand Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia ‘useless’ after Napoli’s disgrace by Frostione

Napoli players are being harshly criticised by Italian media following a 4-0 loss against Frosinone in the Coppa Italia Round of 16, with La Gazzetta dello Sport calling Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ‘useless.’

The Partenopei were humiliated by newly promoted side Frostione on Tuesday night, suffering a 4-0 loss at the Stadio Maradona.

Walter Mazzarri heavily rotated his squad but had to introduce Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Osimhen, and Kvara in the second half, when the result was still 0-0. Juventus loanee Enzo Barrenechea broke the deadlock at minute 65, shortly after Osimhen’s and Kvaratskhelia’s introduction.

The Partenopei stars were heavily criticised by Gazzetta on Wednesday. The pink paper said Osimhen and Kvara were ‘useless’ against Frosinone. They were both rated 5/10, but Di Lorenzo received the lowest rating: 4/10.

On the other hand, it was a triumph for Frosinone players. Giuseppe Caso was the MVP with 8/10, followed by the debutant Mateus Lusuardi, Barrenechea, and Abdou Harroui, who all received 7.5.

Frosinone will face the winner between Juventus and Salernitana in the quarter-finals.
