Since Spalletti left his coaching chair, I see Napoli will find it difficult to maintain its performance like last season. This season I did not work on Napoli at all to return to victory like last season, because some conditions in the team have changed.
Another thing that makes it difficult for Napoli to compete is because this season Serie A competition is also increasingly competitive, I see that some teams are very stretched to polish their squad so that they are stronger, I also assess this season the competition will not be dominated by one of the teams like what kind of team that has been Napoli was conducted last season which they managed to leave their opponents with a difference of points quite far.
It is almost impossible for Napoli with their new coach to match their performance like last season, last season was Spalletti's best season with Napoli.
And indeed these doubts were already visible at the start of this season. The fans' high expectations and the huge burden on Napoli's new coach made them look very bad at the start of this season, especially in their last 2 matches now where they couldn't win the match.
And it is also very realistic when we realize that the competition in Serie A this season is quite fierce because several top Serie A teams have risen and become even better, such as AAC MIlan, Inter Milan and also Juventus.
First, we should stop attributing the success of Napoli last year to the former coach, we should rather give kudos to the players, especially Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and others. The coach was just lucky because the current key players are still there now and the role they played last season has not changed. It's just about the players as far as I'm concerned, not the coach and even if the former coach did not resign, he wouldn't have had it better than this, only that people do not think right. If he was that good, why was it that it was the last season that his team had outstanding performance? What about the last season and other history of his career?
I don't like people to be too judgmental, and before the last season ended, Napoli didn't perform well toward the end despite being the same coach handling them. What changed then? It was the season's earlier success of the team that made them outstanding and win the league.
