This is a very surprising result indeed, and it has been seen in the last few matches that the change of coach carried out by Napoli management has not gone according to expectations.
Mazzarri cannot be blamed because he managed the team on the road this season and of course he has a strong reason why he didn't succeed because he didn't build this team early and also didn't have enough time to adapt.
Maybe only Napoli's management must be responsible for Napoli's poor performance this season.

It was a humiliating defeat for Napoli. But I think in that match Napoli only fielded second-string players and there were several main players. It seems that Napoli is focused on improving their ranking in the League and playing well in the Champions League. However, losing by 4 goals like this is still quite embarrassing. Because if the reason is for the Champions League then the next match schedule is still very long away. Is this bad performance because Napoli don't really care about this match?

Alarms are ringing in Naples. They are under serious criticism for losing to Frosinone in the Italian Cup. They are very right about this, because Napoli should have beaten Frosinone even with the reserve squad. They bid farewell to the Italian Cup early and paid a heavy price for underestimating the opponent.

Oh, that's tough for Napoli and their fans. It's always disappointing when a team you support doesn't perform well, especially after a change in management. Do you think the players need more time to adjust, or is there something else affecting their performance?"

Simone Inzaghi needs to maintain the physical fitness of his players because they have a fairly busy match schedule, so fatigue or injury could affect the results of Inter Milan's matches. This is different from Juventus, which does not have a busy match schedule because they only participate in domestic league competitions, so it will be quite profitable if they can play more consistently. These three players have played quite a big role, but we also need to look at the overall team working well together to achieve victory.

Simone Inzaghi must maintain this positive trend so that they can continue to be in first place in the standings because if they lose then Juventus will take advantage. Inter Milan face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and this is also a much more difficult match even though they still have quite a long time to prepare. Finishing in second place last season in the Champions League should motivate them to come out as champions this season even though it looks so difficult.

It was a humbling and an embarrassing result. I didn't expect Napoli to lose that game with such a score line. They couldn't even score a single goal. The fans will be disappointed with the manager. After the change of manager the fans were really hoping that their results will improve but now who are they going to blame for the bad season results they have been registering.

I think the Rotation made by Mazzarri suggests that he want to focus on Serie A in this struggling phase. The team having difficulty to create chances may be caused by no chemistry between players who rarely played together as a team. Mazzarri made a late decision in introducing core players could be analyzed in the context of balancing the need for fresh legs in the league games which will be remaining his focus to organize and strengthen the team.

Maybe that is a wise decision to take, remembering the decline that Napoli having right now is quite concerning. I think he didnt prepare an in-game plan-B, because his main focus is to analyze profile and ability of the players and how team react in a certain situation. Walter Mazzarri is known for his stubborn with his plan and tactic, but his dedication is undoubtedly strong.

Maybe the coach took the match too lightly. The 3 main attackers who usually have a place in the lineup did not play from the start. maybe that was Napoli's first mistake.
Oshimhen, Politano, and Kvaratskhelia became substitutes. Napoli tried to catch up but the situation was quite difficult when the opponent had adopted a more closed game.
coaches must be wiser if they want to rotate their players. At least they have to work hard to be in the top 4 of the standings. it will keep them in European competition next season.

This is why actually firing the coach and replacing him with a new one while the season is still in the middle can result in the club ending up with worse results. Because a new coach definitely needs time to understand the club and adapt to the squad at the club. Learn everything and formulate a better strategy. The defeat by Frosinone was very regrettable. But fortunately it was in the Coppa Italia and not in Serie A. But still, even though it was the Coppa Italia, it was very regrettable because if Napoli had won that match, they could have qualified for the next stage there. But Mazzari seems to have made a big mistake in this match by placing the main players on the bench from the start. And let the second layer players start the game. Maybe a more effective step would be to carry out gradual rotation while still placing several mainstay players as the starting eleven. And don't immediately use the starting eleven with second tier players. Because it was clear that Napoli had difficulty attacking because Napoli's front players didn't seem confident in this match. I understand Mazzarri only wants to give playing time to the second tier players who are rarely used. But he should have played them gradually and mixed them with the main players. So that Napoli's rhythm of play is maintained well. Because in the match against Frosinone I felt like I was seeing a different team because the playing patterns of the players were also different.

Napoli are increasingly experiencing the bad luck of their decline in performance. Indeed, the Italian Cup is not that meaningful for Napoli because Napoli is chasing the Serie A Scudetto and showing an impressive performance in the Champions League. The more Napoli come here the more doubtful they are, they are not showing signs of improvement even though they have changed coaches, indeed they can qualify for the Champions League round but they also have to achieve maximum results in any competition so that all Napoli fans feel joy because their favorite club can focus on all competitions and show the best.

They lost at home with a landslide score and this was very embarrassing and Napoli couldn't do anything, they couldn't even score a goal against Frosinone. With this, I really doubt Napoli's performance, especially in the first leg of the Champions League when they have to face Barcelona. To be honest, I can't I hope more from Napoli, even though the performance of both clubs is equally unstable, Barcelona experience in the Champions League cannot be doubted. I think Napoli will again experience difficulties when facing Barcelona.

I read the news about the abolition of tax benefits in Serie A. Lega Serie A president Lorenzo Casini said many clubs were opposed to the rules. This new regulation, if passed, will pertain to the contracts of the players. It seems that this rule is not very compatible with football and it seems to be forced to increase the money coming in from taxes. It seems that this is still an unfinished polemic. Serie A clubs are hoping for a review of the matter.

However, this is Napoli's worst record in the last two seasons. Walter Mazzarri will definitely be embarrassed by this result because he underestimated Frosinone in this match. And I think this is worse than anything Garcia (Napoli's previous coach) has ever done. I don't know if he underestimated his opponent or if he wasn't serious about winning that match. Because one thing that is certain is that Napoli have now lost the opportunity to qualify for the next stage of the Coppa Italia, namely the quarter-finals. And I think this is a big loss for the team.


-----------------------------------
Yes, I agree that it would be better if Walter Mazzarri played the main players in the first half and could potentially give Napoli a few goals. After that, it was up to Walter Mazzarri to withdraw the first team in the second half and replace them with second-string players gradually if Napoli had a convincing enough lead. I am quite surprised by this result whether Napoli really intends to withdraw from the Coppa Italia competition this season after they struggled from the preliminary round. I do not think so. This is purely a strategic error used by Walter Mazzari.

To me this is one of those coaching mistakes that I hate a lot. I don't understand why coaches choose to rotate in the worst moments possible and why they would risk losing a game that would get them into the next round of an important competition? If there is supposed to be rotation, I would always start with the best players I have available and I would take the game 100% seriously. Slow down when the lead is safe and there is no risk throwing a game like that way. Now the damage is done and there is no way back.

Napoli performance under Walter Mazzari can't consistent on every match after unbelievable result achieving defeated by Frosinone on Copa Italia round of 16. I think fatal mistake with current starting line up from Napoli and Walter Mazzari made many rotation but its not effective yet because they loss over 4-0 from Frosinone in front of their fans. Made several players substitute on second half match not really help for Napoli for scoring goals because conceded two goals when many players change including Victor Osimhen can't contribution well for helping Napoli lead to quarter final of Copa Italia.

Over confidence against Frosinone as team have under lower position than Napoli on Serie A make Walter Mazzari use their second composition and its not worth yet how fighting motivate from Frosinone players success cored four goals.

Walter Mazzarri must have been surprised by this result. Because it turns out that his team actually had to suffer a very bad defeat. Napoli controlled more of the ball but they had difficulty creating attacks in the match. And I think Walter Mazzarri made a late decision in the second half. Because he should have introduced the core players more quickly in the second half. But he did it too late because when the main players were put on the field at that time Napoli had already lost several goals. In fact, if Walter Mazzarri could bring on Osimhen and the others at the start of the second half then I don't think Napoli would be lose big like that. This result really disappointed everyone. In fact, I'm sure many people bet on Napoli in that match.

have you missed news related to Napoli for several days or weeks?
there are several causes that are driving Napoli, such as having a decline in performance and the first cause is that Osimhen has just recovered from his injury and even though there are substitute players, the fact is that Osimhen is still a mainstay at Napoli and if he experiences a decline in performance it will definitely affect Napoli performance and the next cause is related to Garcia being replaced Mazzarri, who can influence the team strategy and performance in the short term because replacing the coach, has to spend some time adapting to his chemistry with the players and on the one hand, he has to know the skills of each player and the next reason is that sometimes a team will experience a decline in performance in a competition when it has a goal in other competitions. I mean right now Napoli could be focusing on the UCL match to try to get the title in that competition and not really try to chase titles in other competitions like currently in Serie A Napoli has decreased in performance but in the UCL Napoli is performing very well even though they lost in the Coppa Italia match competing at home but it doesn't seem to be a problem for Napoli because Napoli target is not the Coppa Italia title.

It is not a match in Serie A and Napoli have many reasons to sacrifice Coppa Italia. They have two other bigger competitions to fight, Serie A and Champions League. Going far in Champions League will help them to fill their pocket with more money. Playing well in Serie A will help them to participate in Champions League next season and it means money will come too.

Coppa Italia does not have good income award for winner or club go far in the cup tournament. Napoli with their performances that are not actually good and some problems in their squad, surely did not want to waste energy for Coppa Italia and in return they might make their players exhausted or worse get serious injuries.

This defeat is still a shock but it is explainable.

I don't want to see football as any sort of movie, like how or why would Napoli lose to a club that's not even healthy in the league table? This is so embarrassing I must say because on a normal day Napoli would make life a living hell for the away team like why on earth did they have to lose, not 1nil but 4-nil?
Is it that they're experiencing fatigue or what? Still confused I must say.
If Napoli continue like this I don't see them advancing into the next round in the champions league and they might not even qualify in any Europe competitions next season. As it is, I can't tell if they're inform or not.

That's why I didn't bet on this match because I know Napoli will not prioritize this match. And this is proven by Mazzarri only playing second tier players for almost 70 minutes of a normal match. Because Mazzarri seems to want to see how the second tier players at this club perform. And yeah it was quite a disappointing result. Because it turns out that Napoli's second tier players are really very bad. The difference is too big compared to Napoli's core front line players.

And what's worse, this is a home game for Napoli. And Mazzari shouldn't have let this happen. Even though this may not be considered an important match for the club, I still don't like seeing Napoli play like this in front of their own audience.

The next match in the Coppa Italia is Inter Milan against Bologna. And I'm sure Inter Milan will still win this match. I know Inter Milan also did the same thing last season. They still prioritize all competitions. Because that is the nature of Simone Inzaghi. Last season Inter Milan won this competition. I don't know if this season will be the same.

This is a devastating result for Napoli, no one could believe Napoli could be Eliminated by a team sitting at No.13 of the Italian league table and not just eliminating them but also winning them with 4 goals margin with no reply is very disappointing. Despite bringing on the team’s best players they still couldn’t make any changes in the game.

The resignation of the former coach is still having effect on the entire team and the new coach is still yet to blend the team together perfectly as last season and it’s why their performance have dropped far too much.
