Napoli is currently ranked 5th on the Serie A rankings. The 1-3 defeat to Fiorentina at home made Napoli fans lose all patience with coach Rudi Garcia. They still play with a 4-3-3 formation, but their attack could be stronger and clearer. I was shocked, especially when he withdrew three key players, Osimhen, Lobotka, and Zielinski, from the field when Fiorentina was leading 1-2. Garica believes that this loss was due to player psychology leading to mistakes in defense, not due to tactics. He needs to be more talented to lead Napoli. What I need most from Mr. Garcia is humility and recognition of his mistakes to correct them.
After all, at this moment it also seems that Fiorentina is experiencing a good performance too because basically, before the match starts also that Napoli and Fiorentina have the same points. But indeed, at least Napoli are playing at home and it can also be seen that Napoli can play well when considered from the statistics. But again and again, Napoli still failed to get good results in this home match. But yes, it maybe also right, that the players have psychological problems. Because after all, previously Napoli played with great exhaustion to play in the Champion League against Real Madrid, so that might have a bad impact on Napoli's performance in this match against Fiorentina.
Yes, I agree Napoli had a very tiring match against the strong team Real Madrid in the Champions League. And Fiorentina is also in good form. But Napoli still needs to improve, as they showed last season. In the last 5 matches, they only won 1 game. As a result, they are 7 points behind AC Milan after 8 rounds. Getting into the top 4 is difficult, let alone successfully defending the championship.
Last season, Luciano Spalletti helped Napoli return to the top of Italy after 33 years of waiting, but in the summer, He resigned because of disagreements with the club's upper management. Sadly, Napoli has lost its peak form.
