Friendly matches can also be used by teams to train their team cohesiveness because a break of about a month can make them have to start over from the beginning or also to see the fitness of the players because not all players have the discipline to keep practicing during breaks, but whatever it is a friendly match cannot be used as a reference about the strength of a team

In this friendly match, Napoli changed their formation a bit and I think they wanted to test it on this new formation, and yes and agreed that this friendly match cannot be used as a benchmark for how strong the team is.
Maybe if Napoli kept using the initial formation, I think the performance would be better. In yesterday's match the Napoli coach just wanted to test a strategy or a new formation would be suitable or not suitable to be implemented.

Napoli is a good team. They always try to do fairly well. I agree with you, maybe the coach of Napoli team is trying to make some changes in the formation of the team, the main reason may be to bring better performance of the team.

Napoli is an amazing team this season and this looks like their season. They can maybe try to improve some things but i think they just need to keep this team and focus on the domestic league and finally bring that title home. They dont need any improvements in their team just to keep their current team and focus on their league

In principle, if Napoli can continue to play the way they played before the winter break, they don't need to adjust or improve many things. They do have players who have become very good, it is possible that the big clubs will hunt these players and buy them away from Napoli. You always have to take those kinds of scenarios into account. They have a beautiful and fun football team, but if you take a player out of it, it can also collapse like a house of cards. The EPl will be very interested in taking over certain players. Also a pity to see that Dybala has fallen far. It was a promising player when he was in the starting line-up of Juventus. But that was a long time ago now.

Apart from trying to improve to a better performance, the Napoli team is also trying to maintain the best performance they have shown during the first half of this season, but other teams in Serie A are also doing almost the same thing because they are still very motivated to chase points. Napoli and to be in the top four positions in the standings. So there is a possibility that matches in Serie A will be even more exciting in January.

Not only in January, because when they are still ambitious to overtake each other, of course their competition will continue to be interesting until the end of the season. Unless later Napoli is too far away and difficult to catch up or overtaken by other teams, then of course the tension in the competition for the title might decrease.
But after all, while they are still competing for the top four positions, basically their competition will still be interesting.

So yes, of course it's not only the competition in January that is interesting because after all, when the competition is still rolling, their competition will still be interesting.
Because what will make the difference is only about fighting for positions to be able to end the season or to be able to finish in a better position. Therefore, in times like these they will try some changes in friendly matches. Because then of course the coach will be able to retain good players and release players who might become players who are released in the transfer market.

I understand why they think Napoli's performance has dropped after competition break that's because Napoli lost the last 2 friendly matches
In fact, the defeat cannot be used as the basis for their performance in the next match because friendly matches are not important matches so sometimes they don't use strategy and the main players.

For unknown reason I believe Napoli would win the league. I know it's going to be a challenging battle because they'll face a very strong fight from Milan, Inter, Juve and Lazio. They're right points clear of Milan who are second. I can't judge them with the friendly games. Losing 2 friendly matches doesn't mean they've lost form. I do believe they'll miss Fabian Ruiz but I also believe they can manage without him. They've bottled the league before, I don't think it'll happen again this season.

Yes, the results in the trial match are not a benchmark, but what is feared is that this habit will be infected in the actual match. Until now I also still believe that Napoli will be able to return to the form it was before the World Cup, but the first game against Inter Milan is key. I just want to see the results in the first match, if we can get past the Nerazzurri's obstacles then the Partenopei's steps will be even smoother.

It seems that juventus team has recalled that they used to dominate the serie A and they are showing that with the great results they are having i think they are the team to watch out for in the second half of the season, the loss against milan was a wake up call for them and they won all their games since then without conceiding a single goal i think with that performance getting the second position is just a matter of time.

If anyone is worried about the break in play, causing Napoli some problems, I want to say I am not sure that they will not face any problems. But at the same time I will say that even if they do perform badly from this point, they cannot blame it on the break in place. Because they have a good enough lead. This type of breathing space is hard to get. Especially with how competitive the Italian league has become. So, I don’t see them giving up the first position to any other team. Not with how they have been performing before the World Cup.

Friendly games might not be mandatory to alot of people but they're quality and good assessment to how a team has been both in a good way and bad way. But if they have lost two of those they need to do better all because the Seria A comes to a quick start soon and I hope they don't drop my high hopes down, I'm down on my knees begging.

They should face Inter Milan, Inter Milan has been a good side before the FIFA World Cup as they won some games I felt they shouldn't have won. What I expect from the game against Napoli should at least be a draw.

They lost two bad friendly matches, but also Napoli main players isn't any injured at there which will the team performance to bad in Serie A. But it is possible that Napoli will find it difficult to get points in match against Inter Milan, because Napoli always have difficulty at San Siro, although so I'm also not too worried in that match might at least be to a draw and share points both are a formidable team.

Lazio are one of the most consistent teams in the recent seasons of the Serie A. By saying consistent, I mean that their place in the standings hasn't changed much in these seasons.

They have generally been finishing the league around the 5th place. However they can't qualify for the Champions League since the 2019/20 season. They finished that season at the 4th place and made it there. But they have been able to join the Europa League the most since then. While they are able to maintain a consistent performance the board must be hoping to see Lazio qualifying for the Champions League finally by this season. Their job is pretty hard though among the tough competitors. However Lazio have also impressed people so far. They just need to drop the loss of points in especially smaller games to minimum.

Lazio are looking great this year too but they have been consistent for some years now and I do hope they will get back into UCL spots and hold this 4th place they currently have but the battle will be tight against Inter , Roma and Atalanta. They also have a great coach, as Sari knows how to place Lazio in high places in Serie A and I trust him to do it again this year as fans really deserve another trophy and Lazio in general needs another trophy. Grin

I'm also curious about what transfers can Lazio make in summer as they have important sponsors gathered lately that can provide substantial amount of money in order to make Lazio even stronger.

Juventus have a very strong team on paper, perhaps the strongest formation in Serie A, the problem is that the players argue with Allegri, I have always labeled the Juventus fans as occasional, when Allegri took them to the Champions League final everyone said that he was the best, now that the team doesn't follow him, everyone says #allegriout

I think it's not just about arguing but more about injuries. I mean allegri could handle this team as well as he possibly could, but that doesn't mean that he is going to end up with letting them get away with it. He is the one who build the formation and he is the one that will tell them where to stand and what to do and the players will have to follow that.

However, the injuries really hurt them a lot, they really need all the players they could get so that they would be actually good on paper. Right now they are good if they had no injuries, but from start of the season when they got so many losses and draws, it was due to them missing even more players.

In fact you are right, on every good team when an injury hits a player the swing is severely affected. Juventus have to perform well in the next matches if they want to do well. But they have some injured players in their team which will cause some problems for the team.

@sovie Juventus also had bad luck when Pogba got injured, because he was a top player when he used to play for Juventus and he could probably have transformed them but unfortunately he wasn’t able to be injury free this year. Furthermore Allegri is to be blamed for failing to inspire this Juventus squad, and honestly he needs to leave now so a new coach can rebuild this team and help bring back the club’s lost glory.

And it's a fact that Napoli in this friendly match did implement several new strategies and formations. but it seems that the trial strategy is not going so well. and I think Napoli's initial formation is still the best. and yes i agree. that friendly matches cannot be used as a benchmark for a team's ability.

Lazio are reportedly threatened without their mainstay midfielder, Danilo Cataldi in the first Serie A match after the World Cup break against Lecce which will take place on January 4, 2023. Lazio midfielder, Danilo Cataldi is reportedly able to miss his team's match against Lecce after being forced to miss the training session which took place on Wednesday local time, I think lazio must get points in the match against Lecce to secure their position in 4th place

You are right about stable performance and ranking of Lazio in latest season but do you know who is a player with great contribution for their success?

He is Ciro Immobile. It is shock for somebody if they know Immobile scored 23, 29, 15, 36, 20 and 27 goals since 2016 - 2017 seasons. In this season, he has scored 6 goals for Lazio. He is not a star player like Totti, Vieri, Del Piero in the past but he is similar to Daniele Di Natale of Udinese.

Another shock stats about Immobile, he has scored 267 goals in his career.

Serie A has many teams with similar quality, Roma, Lazio, Juventus, Atalanta, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli. It's very difficult for all clubs to end in top four with 7 or 8 clubs are ready to compete for only four positions.
