As for Napoli, nothing unexpected is happening, I initially said that Spalletti leaving the team would have a significant impact on the team. After four rounds they are 5 points behind Inter, in my opinion everything is clear here, despite the fact that they managed to keep Osimhen they have very little chance of competing for the Scudetto again. And Inter in the last round, with its 5:1 victory over Milan, showed shape of the team now.
So you think that Spalletti leaving Napoli had anything to do with their loss against Lazio? Seriously, I would like to understand your thinking here. Napoli played a great game, was overwhelming and Lazio could free themselves with two shots on target that both hit the back of the net. 90% of the time that game will be won by Napoli and they wouldn't be 5 points behind, but 2 points and nobody would really complain. Do you think Spalletti would have kicked one of their twenty chances into the goal himself? This doesn't make sense.
There seems to be a misunderstanding in understanding our conversation about Napoli. I've said this before too, that the expectation was even higher when Spalletti was here and gave Napoli a title. Surely that's why people's expectations are so high with their new coach now. Looking back at last season, Napoli's play was more promising than this season's, so it's only natural that we start pointing fingers at the coach to "blame" for this. I'm personally not referring to one game against Lazio, but their overall play.
I think, it is very inappropriate and or very wrong if you expect Napoli in this season to still have good performance and good results like last season. After all, if you realize about the quality of Napoli from previous seasons too, basically Napoli is not a great team that always has good dominance in Serie A in every season. With these factors, then even though Napoli won the Scudetto last season but still, you can't expect to Napoli still have good dominance this season. Lol! For example, you can consider how Milan and Inter won the Scudetto two and three seasons ago. Whether Milan and Inter able to maintain good performance afterwards? Lol, and this season also happened to Napoli, so Napoli current performance I think is natural, and no one can be blamed. LOL!
Napoli are not that fierce to compete to become champions in every season, but what we saw last season makes us believe in them more, at the same time this is their chance to be able to continue to compete for the title, because I see from all the clubs that have become regular champions in Seri A, they are still in the process of restoring their identity. I think it's normal when the coach becomes the first target for the decline in a club's appearance, I don't just see this in Napoli, but many clbs do the same thing, namely making the coach the main target to blame.
