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.
These are same names that won the Seria A last season, No?
The problem shouldn't be from these players then, there must be something missing from the last management and the present. That's more to be handled internally tham externally. I won't support a coach calling out his players publicly, I've seen it leading to chaos between the player and coach. ( Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba has got to be a good example )
I didn't see the game, saying less would be my thing. Back to Back loss for Napoli conceding a total of five to six goals in two games.
The midfielder's and defender's needs to work together.
They'll face Verona and then Union Berlin in Champions League. These two sides are tough. And both away games. Rudi Garcia didn't get two hoke games right, will he when they do away?
