Hopefully Napoli doesn't sleep around in the second half, the break should have seen alot of the players resting and recovering well, especially those that left for the world Cup.
I want to see them winning the Seria A at all cost and they've paid the price in the first half, can they just put in double of what they did last half, if they sure do that, winning the league ain't no biggie.

They shouldn't focus on other big clubs like Juventus and AC Milan but just take every single game one after the other. It's good too see how they've rebuffed ideas and talks of selling them best player's.

Selling thise players will reduce the chances they have of winning the Seria A. Iw wouldn't advice them to sell but bring in winners that can help them for the boost for the Seria A.

Yes, of course, what happens is that you can't make an attacking strategy when you don't have good material, but I think that if you hit CR7 or Messi he can focus on attack, so much so that everyone will say that Mou forgot about defense and That's his strategy, so sometimes things in football don't add up as they are, for me experience does everything, without going too far, that's how the Spanish coach did with the Spain team, he took almost everything a Barcelona where they lost and he was removed from being the technical director of Spain, leaving a team like that is not the right way, so you can't be very up-to-date and invent when you don't have material, the same thing happens to Roma.


Well, we all know that Juve is a team that has a lot of history, and if 10 points might seem like a lot, but something must be taken into account, Napoli are planning to sell players, which is very good for Juve and very bad for him. Napoli, I see the advantage that Napoli now has as something very fictitious (if they sell their players) it is very difficult to have a team project if you take your players out and you have no choice but to improvise with the new ones that arrive and if They are not attached to the team, that is a lot more work, a job that is not pleasant, so I am curious how things will develop in Serie A.

Napoli's Performance was good since the beginning of the season and there are chances of them putting up more good performances because the team has not experienced any injury crisis even though they had less participants in the world cup that just ended. For a team like Juventus to get closer to Napoli in gap and position this season, I don't think is possible unless they go all the way to beat Milan and other opponents and also hope that Napoli will not win matches because that's the only way for them to catch up with Napoli this season and also the recent happening in the Juventus management will affect the team unless they act fast in bringing a replacement for the vacant position in the club.

If Napoli's performance continues like this, I believe Juventus will be hard to catch up in the 1st position, As we can see in the standing now, the different points are many gaps, 10 points. and not only Napoli. Juventus will face defending champion, Milan also. Another problem is Management, President and CEO just resign which needs time to make it solid between management and the team.

Im not sure if napoli was just testing the strategy caused by after seeing the starting line up and i can see that some key players like osimhen has been playing since the start of game. I do know how bad the history of spalletti in intermilan and roma. It seems like that inconsistency has become the main problem for napoli very soon. Im thinking about the bookmakers were also taking the result from spalletti when he was coaching intermilan and roma in the past.
He was always consistent at the early season until mid season but the team under him will always be loosing consistency from mid until the end of season. Will napoli get opposite result?

Juventus is slowly regrouping and injuries are o most over but i think that their troubles are still there. They now have management problems and this is another issue that needs resolving. Napoli for me if something crazy dosent happen the apsolute favorite for the title

Although Milan may win from Salernitana and Napoli is probably lost from Inter, their point gap is still quite far. Between 33 - 41, needs more matches to be closed. Although yes, 3 points additional will be good progress for Milan to make a closer gap. Napoli will also have a tough match with Juventus in some matches later. This will be probably hard for the club. But, as long as they can be more consistent and strong enough without any different changes of their main first players, I am sure that Napoli can maintain the standing and increase the point. Inter is actually a string team, but they are more likely inconsistent with their performance. That is why they are now at 5th only. Although we know that sometimes, Inter is able to perform very excellently if facing a string club.

Juventus have Cremonese and Udinese games before facing their biggest opponent in the league which is Napoli. I think they can win both of the first two games and maintain their existing winning streak in the league. They will need these wins to stay stronger against Napoli in Turin. Despite its being a home game for Juventus their job is still very difficult there.

We don't know yet how strong Napoli will be able to return to the league. If they maintain their usual performance then Juventus could be in a big trouble against them. But I still hope to see a competitive game considering Juventus' amazing form recently.

I agree with you, Juventus has all it takes to get back to the top of the table most assuredly because of the recovery of their key players. It will be nice to have Marley Ake, Mattia De Sciglio, Paul Pogba, and Dusan Vlahovic all return to the team, as this will add more to their strength. Though the team will be missing Weston McKenzie and Samuel Iling, in their clash with standard liege. I believe Allegri already has a remedy for that. But the challenging part of the whole matter is seeing Napoli step down so easily.

It is not only Juventus that is a threat, there are so many others like Ac milan, inter milan, Lazio and even Atalanta, the level of competition in the seria a is very high, and it has been that way in the last 3 seasons. But even if there are many threats to Napoli for the scudetto, Napoli are in a very comfortable position, they have 41 points, and the closest team to them being Ac milan has only 33 points, it is a good advantage that Napoli has over the other teams and i don't feel they will lose their current position.

I hope so but let's see what's gonna be the result against intermilan. If the napoli already used all of its resources in the friendly match and intermilan can defeat it easily. I hope that napoli was not serious in the friendly match. Inter might be surprised if such strategy was even exist.
That will be a shame if napoli already used all of its strength against mediocre team and lose against it.

I think Juventus is also one of the big threats for Napoli to win the title this season in a friendly match. Napoli lost even though they didn't play with their best players, but that makes speculation that Napoli can be beaten, especially since the two of them will meet Napoli and Juventus in the first half of next year.

Juventus taking a new length to determine their level in the present situation. It's been really a rough season for Allegeri but the old lady's are picking their form with outstanding injured players. The old lady's will pull up a new form this reopening season, they have what it takes to claim the scudetto this season. The fans are grateful that their keyplayers are returning from long term injuries and will soon be fit for Seria A games.It is believed that when everyone is back and fully fit,they will be able to embark on a long run winning streak that will move them to top four on the league table.

I agree with you. Indeed, although this is a friendly match and this will not influence much, losing in the friendly match will be big notice for the team especially the coach to make some evaluations. This is one of the advantages of the friendly match that are done so far. But, of course, the result may be different for exact matches that will be held later in the real matches. After the World Cup, I am sure that Napoli will do much more seriously again.

Serie A is one of the most interesting leagues commonly the competitions are so tight. But now, Napoli really leads the league by having many gaps of points to the other clubs. They are almost perfect, never been beaten so far. Hopefully, they will always be consistent and win this league. They really deserve the trophy if seeing the performance so far.

For the top team, Milan is indeed the worst in defense so far they have conceded 15 goals the coach must find a solution to this and look for a new defender in the upcoming transfer window. In the near future I believe Juventus will take over the 2nd place because recently Juventus have been playing well and slowly finding their best performance.

Milan's 2 friendlies still haven't gone well against the 2 english giants and their third friendly game will be against the Eredivisie giants hopefully there will be a real change for that, as this could be important especially they also have to find a balance for the game against Salernitana. even though they are superior, seeing the quality of their current game they still have many gaps that are easy for opponents to penetrate.

So you are right that Milan should be able to get 3 easy points because Salernitana is not a strong opponent they had bad results in the last 3 matches including 2 defeats
Milan are also hoping that Napoli will be beaten by Inter in their first match after their year-end holidays to keep the points closer, but of course it's not easy.

the final result was indeed very surprising because Napoli had to give up with a big score. even though I didn't watch this match but seeing the final result it seems to be inversely proportional to what they have done in Serie A this season. I think if Napoli can't maintain their good performance in Serie A when Serie A resumes after a long holiday then they will find it difficult to become champions at the end of this season's competition.

even victor osimhen played from the early minutes against Lille but he did not show his best form in that friendly match. although this match is not a strong reference for assessing their squad, Spalleti must not let his players be in a dilemma with the achievements they have made so far.

Milan have a good opportunity ahead of them to close up the gap with Napoli. Because their opponent is Salernitana while Inter and Napoli are facing each other on the same week. Milan shouldn't underestimate their opponent of course. Salernitana seem stronger than the previous season now. They defeated Lazio away and got a point from Juventus as well. The point amount they have collected so far must be a danger sign for Milan absolutely. Salernitana lost to some big teams too of course but they are really unpredictable.

Milan need to make a good comeback after losing many points and causing the gap with the leader to get bigger. This match is a big chance to do so. Giroud has had a good World Cup period so I think he would also make a nice contribution.

Don't know if this is the start where Napoli will experience a decline in performance or just testing a new strategy while the opponent is definitely paying attention to Napoli's game in a friendly match, so Napoli shouldn't let Napoli become like this, especially later against Inter Milan, which in my opinion is tough for Napoli to fight nya, I always say that from the break there is always a little difference that makes the team weak but fortunately this is only a friendly match so you can say it's just a trial in a game and in fact in Serie A there can't be another mistake for Napoli to repeat the mistake from the previous game.
