Under coach Luciano Spalletti Napoli are the most interesting and fun team to watch, they have a great team and good players and it looks like they are playing for something more important than wins and trophies.

Now under the new coach Rudi Garcia, of course, there will be many challenges that he will have to face in carrying out his duties as Napoli coach. Because defending the Scudetto is much more difficult than chasing it, and I think it is not easy for Rudi Garcia to match Spalletti let alone to achieve success in the champions league. This is the biggest challenge for Rudi Garcia this season, so far he has always used a 4-3-3 formation. It will be interesting to wait to see if he can maintain Napoli's track record as a team that is active and looks to attack.

But there is an interesting thing from Spalletti by Rudi Garcia, when Rudi Garcia coached AS Roma he succeeded twice in bringing As Roma to be runners up in the league, but after As Roma's performance declined he was replaced by Luciano Spalletti and now the situation has reversed Rudi Garcia who replaced Luciano Spalletti at Napoli but Napoli's current condition is the defending champion of the Serie A league.

Spalletti has done well to help Napoli to lift Italian league title last season, that is making Napoli players reign everywhere in the world because of his impart he impacted to his players that made them to break 30 years record before he quit from the team. Napoli will really miss spalletti in this season because he is a talented coach that know when to make changes that will bring good results at the end of the match and victory will definitely come through. I don't think Rudi Garcia have so much skills to make the team function like the way Spalletti kept the team function last season for Napoli to maintain first position in the Italian league competition through out to embraced the title.

It's true that Cuadrado often throws tantrums and commits fouls when Juventus meet Inter Milan, one of which is a penalty prize for Juventus in crucial matches when the two teams meet is there a result of Cuadrado efforts. Coupled with the commotion on the field with Rumelu Lukaku which resulted in him being banned from playing for up to three matches, making Inter Milan fans really dislike him.

I think the Inter Milan Fans' rejection is reasonable because Cuadrado did everything for Juventus to beat Inter, but it will be interesting how the Fans will accept him as an Inter player. It will take more work to prove he is an intern now, despite his good times with Juventus.

You can say it about Napoli and their President De Sanctis as they spent about last twenty years to build up their club after ranking up from Serie B. From Lavezzi, Hamsik, Higuain, Cavani, Insigne, Koulibaly, etc. and they only won a first Scudetto after many decades in the past season.

You can not say it with their coach Luciano Spaletti because he just joined Napoli since 2021 - 2022 season. He only had two seasons with Napoli and in a second season with them, he won a Scudetto which is a first one in his coach career too.

Will Rudi Garcia repeat the success of Spalleti?

I am not sure but he had some good seasons with AS Roma in the past and from their coach record, they have kind of similarities.

It took years for Luciano Spalleti to achieve the fantastic results for Napoli, and lifting the scudetto with Napoli after 33 years without a domestic title was a very memorable occasion for them. Luciano Spalleti resigned from his role as Napoli's head coach, but he did so for personal reasons. When it comes to the incoming boss, Rudi Garcia, he will undoubtedly fall short of the outgoing manager's expectations. However, I believe that if Rudi Garcia is given more time than Luciano Spalleti, he will make good use of his position and provide solid results for the club and the supporters.

What Spalletti did with Napoli last season is so great that many managers who're well respected would beg to achieve so it can hugely count to their Curriculum Vitae.
I don't think Rudi Garcia can replicate that same feat even when there's every possiblity that he can it. Napoli and Victor Osimhen must decide now on the player's future so he can decide wether to remain at the club or move on

I've been hearing that some fans, and especially the ultras at Inter Milan, are not happy with Cuadrado now that he has joined the club. Maybe that has something to do with the time he played for Juventus against Inter Milan and the fans were unhappy about this player because of that.

I think the Napoli players will have to get used to being without Spalletti in Serie A next season and they will adapt to the new coach later. Spalletti is a great coach and I think the reason he didn't want to continue with Napoli is because he doesn't want to taint what he achieved last season should he fail next season. Surely anything that Spalletti has given will be an extraordinary experience and they cannot if they continue to reflect on the current situation.

The Napoli players have to give all the best for the team and also the new coach, namely Rudi Garcia, but even if we dream, it will not be easy to achieve in a short time. We just have to see them show it again and prove it with coach Rudi Garcia.

Yes, we really understand how matches and clubs are in the EPL, therefore, this season Chelsea is really trying its best to strengthen the club and rise from its downturn. They need players who are not only talented and skilled but also fit and strong in the EPL. And Vlahovic is one of the perfect fit for that for Chelsea. But maybe this will not be as expected, because seeing the costs they have to incur for their salary which is considered quite high. hence maybe this will not continue as we think.

Thats right. In the end these are interconnected but still the focus may be between Mbappe and PSG as this could leave some transfers open if Mbappe leaves.
On the other hand this could also encourage some players including Dusan and Osimhen who are at Napoli.
But that only refers to a few for the case of Chelsea there might be a difference because with Mbappe leaving or not they will try to get Dusan if that is the best option from Pochettino but if Mbappe leaves and Dusan is one of the options for a replacement then maybe Chelsea should be prepared for the competition that will occur between them and PSG.

Serie A was clearly one of the strongest leagues in Europe before their overall league competitive performance began to decrease. We had AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus, among others, who were all in excellent form and consistently dominated European competition. All of these teams are still performing well, and there are more on the way who have been excelling in European competitions. I'm not sure what caused the league's general performance to fall; might it be a shortage of quality players, as it was previously? But I love the zeal currently in the league, and they're doing better than ever, as evidenced by how most Italian clubs performed in European competitions they participated in last season.

I can't overlook what Spalletti did with Napoli as well. It was really something else. After more than 30 years Napoli won another Serie A title in a really magical way. It was such a dominant one that it would never be forgotten in team history for sure. He could have stayed and worked for maintaining the success but he didn't want the continuation of this relationship anymore. Because he believed that he didn't have any energy left to maintain success.

Now he has even given a break for his job. If the situation is really like that then I believe he did the best for himself. Hopefully Rudi Garcia can keep Napoli being competitive.

Spaletti's contribution cannot be doubted anymore because he succeeded in helping Napoli win the Italian league title last season. But it is also interesting to discuss that Juventus are preparing a breakthrough through the cold hands of Cristiano Giuntoli after leading Napoli to win the Italian Serie A League last season.

So far, Juventus have often had problems with financial taxes and point deductions in domestic competitions and tournaments, leading to being alienated from European regional competitions since this season started. Another problem is that players who have contributed to Juventus are being sold and Massimiliano Allegri's future will disappear in the near future, Coach Massimiliano Allegri will soon resign and be replaced by a new coach, who knows who will replace Coach Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus, but at least the new coach can bring new hope to Juventus. There is still a lot of homework to be completed by the Management of Cristiano Giuntoli's Juventus team since the domestic competition starts later, and I hope that Juventus can bring Luciano Spaletti to Juventus, by making him Juventus coach.

It is hoped that with arrivals like Spaletti's, it can revive Juventus' glory 11 years ago in all competitions, starting from domestic tournaments and in Europe.

In the past Serie A was the most attractive league because of its highly competitive rivalry, but when the case of match-fixing and or calciopoli and then it made Serie A lose confidence and also decreased audience interest. It took a long time for Serie A to recover but over time, the Premier League became the most attractive league until now. But indeed, despite this of course Serie A is still an interesting league to watch and that is proven, in the last season all representatives of Serie A clubs can reach the final in Europe. At least it is also proof that, the performance of Serie A teams is still growing from season to season.

Juventus made problems for Serie A this season, the point deduction of 10 points and more has been a big topic in the media. This leads to no trust and there are players who do not want to play at such a club. Juventus has done even worse in the past: manipulation. Most of the players in Italy are Italians, they want to stay in their home country. You can see that in the national team, almost all of them play in Italy.

Spain and Barcelona or Real Madrid have much more money. I think they also have other chances Tor ein international titels.

Serie A is a decent league in my opinion. The competition is good. Of course, the English Premier League is the best league in the world right now. La Liga is decent. The problem with La Liga is that the competition is genuinely decreasing day by day. At least the competition for Real Madrid and Barcelona is certainly decreasing. Every season Barcelona and Real Madrid are almost always at the top of the table.

Now, if we compare La Liga with the Italian league, I think we can say that the Italian league is close to La Liga in terms of competition. I am going to say this and I know a lot of people are not going to like what I am about to say. But I genuinely believe that La Liga is a little overhyped.

What you described now perfectly shows how much all of these transfers are interdependent. Everyone is waiting for what PSG is going to do with Mbappe, PSG thmselves are waiting for Mbappe and Real Madrid because they can't sign another player for 150 million if they don't know whether Mbappe will leave, and there are several more clubs who would either have some of their options become valid or invalid depending on what happens with players at other clubs. It even trickles down to Lukaku and Juventus Turin. I think Chelsea won't remain stubborn and they will let Lukaku go because they can't be interesting in having him sitting on the bench when he is not the type of player Pochettino likes to play with.

When Dusan left the scenario was Lukaku who entered to replace that position, especially Juventus are also still monitoring Lukaku as a successor when Dusan goes to Chelsea. and this makes them benefit because Juventus don't bother too much if they release Dusan to Chelsea.
As for PSG, the possibility when they are eyeing Dusan is because they are still messing around with the status of Mbappe at the moment and I think when Mbappe does not leave this season then they will also reduce the option of looking for a striker so in this case PSG is still 50/50 especially seeing that they are also ready with a 150 million offer for Osimhen it indicates that they still have not decided who their main target is.

Spalletti's contribution to Napoli really deserves a thumbs up, no one even thought he was able to make Napoli the strongest team in Serie A last season, Rudi Garcia is also a good coach but the burden he carries is really heavy, everyone has high hopes he was able to match Spalletti's achievements and bring Napoli to the Serie A title again. maybe in some parts, we will see that there are drastic changes that have occurred in the pattern of playing Napoli, as long as Osimhen remains at the club, the chances for Napoli to win the Scudetto again are very large.
