Yes, the first defeat must be taken seriously by Napoli. Serie A's journey is still quite long and the threat to the Partenopei is increasingly evident. In my opinion, the defeat to Inter Milan was the impact of the World Cup break so that the cohesiveness that had been formed earlier became chaotic and the proof was that in the trial match Napoli were also unable to show a satisfactory performance. Spalletti certainly has to reflect on his experience, this season is a big opportunity for the Partenopei to win the Scudetto. However, if they lose again against Juventus the following week, then it is very clear that the Napoli players do not have the mentality of being a true champion.
The season is still long, there are many matches that Napoli must go through to win the Scudetto. The defeat suffered by Napoli should not be associated with any reason, now Spalletti must reorganize his squad to achieve victory in the following matches. Napoli can still breathe because they still have a 5 point gap with Milan, which is one rank below, Milan can still cut the 5 point difference if Napoli stumble again in the continuation of Serie A.
Spalletti must maintain the condition of his players to stay fit, because Napoli is still active in the Champions League. Player injuries are very detrimental to Napoli because they can prevent them from winning the Scudetto at the end of the season.

Even if we look at Napoli in previous seasons it was always like that when they were always victorious at the start of the season but as time went on their conditions always got worse again and again towards the end of the season.
Their performances in past two seasons are different. In this season, they are doing better, at least after 16 matches and I believe they can complete this season better.

Quote
I really don't want to see them come back like that this season, but when this keeps happening there is still some improvement for them to do and it's going to be a bit difficult if that doesn't work.
They already have more experience and they can improve a lot in this season. It is optimistic to think Napoli can win Scudetto but I believe they will end this season at a higher position than they did in the last season.

Quote
The game against Sampdoria should be a turning point for them again and there is no reason not to take full points in this game as they need to restore the momentum that was slightly interrupted by Inter in the previous game.
It will be a test for Napoli and if they win it, it seems everything will be back to normal. I remember in the past season, nobody had big belief in AC Milan but gradually, they fighted, won matches and became a strong competitor in late of season. Eventually they won Scudetto in Serie A 2021 - 2022 and Napoli are stepping on a same challenging journey in this season.

I agree maybe mentality was one of the reasons why they lost this game. What we saw last season was that they couldn't keep their hopes up in the race for the championship so they were easily knocked out of competition by AC Minal and also Inter Milan. The big opportunity came back to them, but once again they had to lose a big game where they could win it would increase their confidence even more. Let's wait for their performance in a match that will make it difficult for them to face other giant clubs in Serie A.
Mentality must be built after many years, seasons and history. Napoli did not win too many Scudetto and these players they have in this season don't have many experience of standing on a first position of Serie A. They are good players and can play well which is reflected on their win streak.

Anyway, the win streak was broken by Inter Milan and this defeat can be a start of something bad for Napoli. They must stand up and reclaim their win habit again. If they continue with some few bad matches, all advantages they had in first half of season will be non sense and they might never be able to reclaim a first position.

It happened in the past season and I hope Napoli can do something really different in this season.

@blue snow despite the loss Napoli yet has a decent lead, and if they continue winning matches then it’ll be really difficult for other team’s to catch up to them. Furthermore I thought that Roma would finish in the top 4 this season, but currently it looks like that they won’t finish in the top 4 however does anyone here feels that they’ll yet make it to top 4 by the time this season end's?.
The recent defeat by Napoli has made Spalletti even more careful when facing big teams in the next game. Match statistics show that Napoli can dominate the match, but due to their lack of optimal use of opportunities, they are unable to score goals against Inter. The defeat by Inter did not threaten Napoli's position at the top of the standings, Spalletti must not let this mistake continue in the next game. Napoli needs to increase the productivity of goals to keep its position always safe.

Roma still have a chance to get back into the top four, until match 16 Roma have collected 30 points, now Roma are 4 points adrift of Juventus and 3 points from Inter who are in third and fourth place. Mourinho must improve the quality of attack and build defense to keep his chances of getting into the top four. Now that Serie A is competitive, it's hard to say which team will finish in the top four.

consistently it seems that Napoli always play well in every game, but sometimes a football club doesn't always win always, in this half of the season Napoli must maintain their playing style in order to remain consistent to win the Italian league this season, Napoli's next match will play against Sampdoria and can make up for yesterday's defeat
Napoli seems lost mentally champion from Inter. We know they will face tough challenges from a big club that have mentally champion like Inter, Juve and Milan. This is not easy to keep them on 1st top, I agree if they play consistently, Napoli will get what have they dream, but we know Napoli last scudetto about 32 years ago most likely they have forget how to defend it as a champion this season, slip will happen on the last week if lost and can't play consistently.

Saturday 7th January
Fiorentina 14:00 Sassuolo
Juventus 17:00 Udinese
Fiorentina - Sassuolo is challenging with a slight advantage for Fiorentina imo.
Juve - Udinese isn't easy too except the bad performance shown by Udinese in the previous games. That's why Juve has an advantage.

Sunday 8th January
Lazio 14:00 Empoli
Sampdoria 17:00 Napoli
AC Milan 19:45 Roma
Lazio and Napoli are not expected to lose again. Milan - Roma is very interesting with a clear advantage for Milan since they are playing home. Napoli will be pleased if Roma could beat them and they catch up the 3 points gap they lost last round..

Yes, Napoli is ok, but look, there's also a huge big party
Milan vs Rome
this is also a very important game to watch at all costs
Roma must commit to winning to stay on top
Milan must win in order not to leave Napoli

then well there's Juventus vs Udinese
this is also a very tough match

I was lucky not to place a bet on this match, from the start I had doubts that Napoli could easily face Inter at the San Siro. btw, it's good if Napoli loses against inter so they can strengthen their mentality even more for the matches that might happen in the future.

Maybe mentality is one of the reasons especially when they play away and finally Napoli got its first defeat but Napoli is still safe in the standings
Now we can see the competition between the top 2, 3 and 4 my attention is on Juventus who consistently get that winning streak
I wouldn't be surprised if at the end they take 2nd place or become Napoli main competitor.

the poor results from the friendly match that Napoli carried out after the World Cup break, seemed to have an impact on their game. but against Inter it was quite difficult. although Inter wasn't that good either. but they want to rise and show that they too are part of the trophy hunt.
I think Roma will also take part in this struggle, and Napoli is currently being chased by big clubs. if Napoli doesn't improve their performance soon, this could be Milan's chance to take the podium.

It's time for Napoli to get back on their track after losing the big match against Inter Milan.
In their next match they will only face a weak team, namely Sampdoria, being able to win with a big score is highly expected, especially if the Napoli goalkeeper can keep the net safe from goals.

In week 17's match, the big match will take place between AC Milan vs AS Roma, although this can be considered a big match because seeing the position of the two teams in the standings but the odds on the bookmakers are very much in favor for AC Milan to win in this match, and I predict AC Milan will win in this match because even though AS Roma is quite good in rankings, they often have difficulty winning against strong teams.

Napoli didn't have a good attack to make the goal against napoli. I think that napoli shall have been trying to identify which thing that has become the main problem.
As far as i know that if napoli didn't wanna try to did self reminder after getting some bad results from the friendly match. Napoli was in a big trouble right now caused by once napoli will be losing again in the upcoming matches and ac milan will be potentially to follow it or even surpassed it at the end of season. Ac milan has been cutting the gaps become even closer. This gives a very big pressure to the napoli. I think that napoli's players will be playing under pressure since the next match

Napoli failed get three points last match and make standing position more interested because AC Milan have near close behind 4 points right now. Inter Milan success become first team make unbeaten record from Napoli destroy until matchday 16.

Current standing position in Serie A make tittle race excited because have many team with the same chance after left few points between first standing until fouth standing position. Juventus keep consistency after winning 7 matches in a row and seems they can exist in winning trend for next week against Udi ese.
The first defeat suffered by Napoli this season, they are currently still the leader of the standings with a 5 point advantage but this is a danger signal from other teams above, Inter Milan, Juventus and also AC Milan have now risen.
that way these teams are strong competitors to fight for the Scudetto, and that's only natural when the current Serie A teams have equal quality.
I am not happy for Napoli's defeat but I think it is good for the fierce competition we will enjoy in Serie A for the Scudetto winners.
It will be very interesting if the conditions for some of the big teams improve because the competition will get tougher and that is to be expected.
Currently, Napoli is only 5 points away from Milan and Milan is still not safe because it is 2 points from Juventus and 3 points from Inter.
This is what will be even more exciting and it is not impossible that the first position will change to several more teams as happened last season.

Finally, Napoli is about to lose their first league game since the beginning of the season, and Inter Milan is the team that has defeated the current league leaders if the match should end in the favour of Inter Milan and the man Edin Dzeko gave the home side the led in the 56th minute of the game is the only shot on target that has been seen in this game as at the time of this post it's indeed a strong match between the two teams but with less than 30 minutes left before the final whistle is blown, I hope Napoli will turn the score line around and with Victor Osimhen still on for Napoli, who knows if he will do the magic to get the equalizing goal for Napoli.
This was really an embarrassing match for Napoli because with Inter's hard work, Napoli's defense finally broke through and Inter managed to bring an empty score to become the winner in this match. Inter has the potential to take first place because so far only Inter has managed to overcome the power from the Napoli defense.
I personally don't find it embarrassing for them because Napoli also worked quite hard to create chances and dominate the game but Inter's counter-attack in this game was very good.
Mkhitaryan's cross was excellent for Dimarco and was immediately followed up with a spoiled pass for Dzeko who was left unmarked as the Napoli players were late to return after attacking.
This is their first defeat and it's a little difficult now because Napoli have to win again even though in this case they are still quite comfortable on points.

But I don't really know how inter does this thing, they always get to win their important Matches no matter how difficult the opponent seems to be even when they barely posses the ball. Now they are in the fourth place. Now the competition is locked between the best four. This is where the game of consistent win begins. Napoli is still safe but two straight lose can cost them extra effort to secure the title.
Inter were very lucky because they managed to beat Napoli and break through the defense from Napoli. It's actually not easy to get into the defense from Napoli, so I consider this to be the luck of Inter, who tried hard to get the win even though it seemed impossible for them to do so, and in the end luck was on Inter's side and gave Inter the win.

Wow, who would have thought old players like Dzeko and Giroud could be the winner for their team so far. Even though these two players are not players with the luxury of Ronaldo and Messi but to be honest, with them getting older they can still play well and can make a big contribution to their team.
So of course they deserve the highest appreciation or appreciation as old players, at least their current team can provide something special for them.

I didn't watch the game live, but if I consider the results from the statistics at least it seems that Inter were just waiting for Napoli to make a mistake and then Inter counterattacked quickly to score.
Because Napoli only seem to continue to make efforts to make breakthroughs and or create opportunities, but it seems that Inter are playing well and are disciplined in this match so that Napoli has no space to have opportunities to score goals.

Do you remember we had a chat about Napoli messing me up last season been at the top and also loosing the league to Ac Milan ? I hope this is not happening for the second time. Napoli has been my favorites from the start, they shouldn't slack but end up winning the Seria A.

I'm honestly wishing they'll bounce back stronger after the loss to Inter Milan with the help of Ezden Dzeko who help put Inter Milan ahead. Enough time to win the league that's if Napoli doesn't bounce better.
