The captain spring: Udinese restart from Totò

The avenger is back. Antonio Di Natale has framed a nearly-perfect week by scoring both in the Europa League and in the championship after a long time, his last goals dating back to two matches ago in the Italian championship and to the match against Celtic for the Europa League.

As he’s been doing for three seasons, Udinese captain (“Udinese’s captain”?) has scored a home goal against Napoli. After his wonderful three goals per match scored in 2009-10 and 2010-11, Totò has scored his 7th goal in a row to Napoli (“against Naples”?), reaching 19 goals scored in this championship, which brings him up to the edge of the top scorers table (“scorers’ table”?).

Despite the bitter draw against the Neapolitan team, Totò knows his goal will have to be a lot more to continue chasing a third place that could mean Champions League (“the Champions’ League”?).

The duel with Ibrahimovic and Cavani is still going on, with the three strikers being within two goals of difference (“within a two-goal difference”?): 20 for the Swedish, 19 for the captain and 18 for the Uruguayan striker.
