Napoli managed to play their best game with good teamwork, they managed to win 5 times in a row, with this victory they managed to maintain their position at the top of the Serie A League standings and no one managed to take this position away from Napoli. Until the end of this game it looks like Napoli will still be in first place.
Napoli performed extraordinarily,, other clubs in Serie A find it difficult to shift their positions, even when the league starts again, I'm sure they will continue to be in the first place. there is speculation about Napoli going to sell Kim Min-jae, it looks like it has been pushed aside, they firmly said they would not sell Kim Min-jae to any club, it seems that Napoli is very ambitious to be champions this season.

I agree that Napoli don't need to make any changes in the rest of the season. They are already playing with a system that runs like clockwork. They must be very satisfied with the performances of their players as well. Osimhen is one of the key players of the team so I don't expect Napoli to let him go in January.
They might still go for some players to increase the alternatives in the team of course. They must be able to deal with injury problems as good as possible to prevent a bad form. Otherwise they might have to deal with big issues all of a sudden. For now they are getting close to the title very comfortably.

Napoli manager will do everything possible to make Osimhen remain in the team next year so that they will be able to win some trophies that will make people to rate the team among the best team in the world. Napoli performance in this season made many people to believe that they will maintain this winning attitude till the end of the tournament, because their players are well organized from the beginning of this season till now. I think, Napoli coach will still like to bring in more talented players that will remain on bench in case there is an injury to any player there will not be problem at the moment.
I've been saying that if napoli sells players then they won't have any chance of being champions, the team will drop in performance, that's what has happened to many teams, the difference is that most teams when they win everything in some season they they can already afford to sell players, but napoli haven't won anything yet, they are simply still a potential candidate to win serie A, they have a long way to go if they want to win serie A and how they are with a high performance it doesn't make sense for them to sell any player, that would be very stupid if they do that, I hope that both the coach and all napoli managers think the way I'm talking about and don't sell any player even if they are offered lots of money, they don't can sell anything
I agree with you, if Napoli dares to sell players it would be the worst for them, first it would break down the whole team and the work that the technical director has done with so much effort, for me Napoli should think about keeping their players It doesn't matter if they can't buy, but selling is not an option, if they settle for the players that currently exist, they can achieve more results, and they have to stay in first place, they should not be neglected, anything can happen in football , and this has been very well demonstrated in the World Cup. Italy has a very good league, if they continue to do a good job they can go a long way.
Napoli is a team that has excelled a lot, both in Serie A and in the UCL, this is because of the good work that has been done very well, and this is due to the hard work that has been done by its technical director and its team of players where everyone understands each other and that is not achieved overnight, a, and a very long process, for this reason if in this window of transfers, purchases and sales if they sell their players it will not be the same, because They will have to acquire new players who may not have the same empathy as with them, this is something that cannot be denied, now if they continue like this without selling or anything, I think things can turn out very well.
I can see how they could do that in Serie A, other teams weren't that great this year and that's understandable but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about a team that should be focusing on just a win in Serie A, they literally did that with UCL as well where teams from all of Europe comes together and that's a big success, to finish first in the group stages.All in all they deserved it of course, because they are playing greatly but that was a unique situation to be in for them, can't remember any team where Napoli not only lead the league and also lead their group in UCL at the same time together, that is a big achievement.
Yes, in fact it is an exceptional achievement, and I hope they continue like this, but because of so many rumors that are seen, so many players who can leave that it would be a shame if they lose their way, I am a person who believes in the projects of the technical directors in a team, and Napoli is not a team that was formed with its high level of 1 year ago, they have been forming for a long time, since the goalkeeper David Ospina was there I saw a great rise in the team, and this has been going on for a long time, they could already be seen where they were headed with this great project, so they should maintain that level and not let it drop, I think that much more is gained if they always aim for everything.
These are some of the things for which I think Napoli can go down their plans:
Everton can blow Napoli out of water in transfer race for Rodrigo Becao
Quote
With Yerry Mina or Michael Keane likely to leave Goodison Park in January, a move for the talented centre-back could prompt the Blues into making a move.
But the £17m price tag being fronted up by Udinese may be the stumbling block in this transfer saga, do the Blues want to cough that up for a backup centre back?
Conor Coady and James Tarkowski are pretty settled in the heart of Lampard’s Everton defence and it’s hard to see any player coming in and taking their place.

The victory that has been obtained by Napoli this season is through the hard work of the team as a whole and it is not a struggle that they get easily. Because every victory must be passed through difficult challenges by Napoli. So I wouldn't say the results that have been obtained by Napoli are very easy results even though on average Napoli have the ability to get them and continue their positive trend in the follow-up matches after the world cup.
Napoli managed to play their best game with good teamwork, they managed to win 5 times in a row, with this victory they managed to maintain their position at the top of the Serie A League standings and no one managed to take this position away from Napoli. Until the end of this game it looks like Napoli will still be in first place. Inter Milan must also be active in the winter transfer market, considering that the striker they currently have is less aggressive and has a relatively old age, so his performance is no longer dangerous as a mainstay striker. The second half of the season will be even more competitive, so Inter Milan needs a reliable striker who can make a difference.
Inter really had better be active in the upcoming transfer window. However I don't think this activity should be for signing a striker. Because they actually have no problem with scoring goals at all. If you check their statistics in the league so far you can see that they have scored only three less goals than Napoli so far. They are technically the second most scoring team in the league now. However they are this bad due to the big weaknesses in their defense line. They should strengthen their defending somehow.
Maybe finding better defenders would be a solution for this. Or they should just try new things in their defensive strategies. Inter may not be the champion but they can finish the season at the second spot at least.
The bookmakers are still confident that Napoli will become champions. According to the statistics, it is about time, it has been a long time since that happened. But we don't yet know how Napoli will do after the winter break, the team has lost its rhythm and training sessions and exhibition games are always different from the games in certain competitions. I think Napoli will also become champions, but that is mainly because they are a mountain of points ahead of the number 2 and that other team have not come any closer. They are also the only team that has not lost a game yet. There is a lot of pressure on Inter Milan in the next match against Napoli.
Napoli has the best team and gameplay so far in the league. I think they are still undefeted in the league and already have a huge advantage over the second place team. This is an unique chance for them to win the title after so many years and i think they will win it.
Inter Milan's performance this season has not been very stable, making it difficult to catch Napoli's points, Inter Milan has collected 30 points and is 11 points adrift with Nopali at the top of the standings. I agree more with chasing the top three in the standings than chasing the Scudetto, because realistically this is more likely to be done by Inter Milan, considering that the top three and four are only one point away from them.
Inter Milan must also be active in the winter transfer market, considering that the striker they currently have is less aggressive and has a relatively old age, so his performance is no longer dangerous as a mainstay striker. The second half of the season will be even more competitive, so Inter Milan needs a reliable striker who can make a difference.
They are not going to catch them neither, that ship has sailed already. I feel like there is a good chance that we should be looking to see if they will be top four, which is good enough because they would be going to UCL with that and that means a lot of money, they also need to be in the group stages but they probably can do that.Inter Milan must also be active in the winter transfer market, considering that the striker they currently have is less aggressive and has a relatively old age, so his performance is no longer dangerous as a mainstay striker. The second half of the season will be even more competitive, so Inter Milan needs a reliable striker who can make a difference.
All of these means that they are going to end up with something good in the long run, as long as they can finish top four this year, they have a good chance for next year and that is the benefit of football, you do not have to be great every year, just have break seasons and get better for longer term after that break.

Everyone seems to be talking about Napoli's performance so far, but I don't think we should forget about the other teams who are both fighting for the best. Even if Napoli are many points ahead of other competitors, I will never underestimate the strength of other teams like Milan, Inter, Juventus and others. Everything is still very likely to change, so don't ignore the others.
Of course I know Napoli is one of the favorites among the others, but I doubt they will be able to maintain a consistent performance until the end of the season. I'm sure the second half of the season will be even tighter, and of course it will be even more interesting to see who will be the best in the end.
Napoli's performance and form this season have been outstanding, It has always been Juventus ahead of every other team in the Italian Seria A. Seeing Napoli is such form this season makes me doubt they will be able to hold up until the end of the season, I also feel they fall off track along the way. There is still a possibility that Ac Milan and Juventus can make a come back in the trophy race.Of course I know Napoli is one of the favorites among the others, but I doubt they will be able to maintain a consistent performance until the end of the season. I'm sure the second half of the season will be even tighter, and of course it will be even more interesting to see who will be the best in the end.
Napoli and Inter are the strongest teams in Serie A and even though Inter seem to be of better quality than in previous seasons, the reality is that Inter have never had it easy to beat Napoli either. What's more, this season Napoli's performance is better than Inter so that indeed, Napoli will be the team that is more favored to win.
But the thing that must be remembered at least is that they will not get victory in an easy way, because beating a big team in an away match is also not something easy.
Therefore, if any of them say Inter or Napoli will win easily then that is an assumption which I think will be dangerous or regretful if the results don't go as expected.
But if they say that after the match is over then maybe it doesn't matter because they have also seen the final result and indeed, everyone has their own judgment but still, if it's a big match then neither team can be said or assumed to win easily.
no one is forgetting these teams, I'm talking about Milan Juventus and so on. But at the moment Napoli is the team that convinces the most, for how the whole team plays in a perfect and synergistic way.
Leicester won the premier league with normal players (no stars) and a great manager, Ranieri.
The team has to turn, the players have to fit together well, then the spells happen
Of course Napoli is one of the most convincing ones because of their form, but I really hope that other teams will be tough in the second half of the season. Napoli have tended to fail to maintain their form in the last few seasons and there is a possibility that this season they will experience the same thing. That is one of the interesting facts about Napoli, but I really admit that expectations about them are very high.

Inter Milan are still suffering from the departure of Lukaku two seasons ago. Edin Dzeko came but he is very old striker and even he can help them to have goals and contribute to their team formation and operation, he is no longer able to do this in all matches.
Lukaku returned to Inter Milan this season but he is no longer a Lukaku we knew two or three seasons ago in Giuseppe Meaza. More injuries, less appearances, less contributions and worse performance in general.
I often see players who leave Serie-A and return to their former clubs, most of them don't perform like the season as they are joined for the first tim. There are many factors, from poor performance and some who experience serious physical problems. Lukaku suffered a serious injury, this made him an additional list of failed players. IMOLukaku returned to Inter Milan this season but he is no longer a Lukaku we knew two or three seasons ago in Giuseppe Meaza. More injuries, less appearances, less contributions and worse performance in general.
Recently, I read a rumor if Marcus Thuram become Inter Milan target. His contract, will expire next summer, i think it will make it easier for Inter to sign this player. However, Inter must compete with Tottenham.
@OcTradism, Inter is not very far away from the second position at all. Even if Napoli does not suffer a particularly difficult phase, I think Inter still has a high chance of reaching the second position. But Inter will have to be very consistent. The best realistic outcome for Inter would be to pursue second place. This is because there is only a three-point difference between the second position and Inter's fifth place in the league.
@masulum, I also agree that there have been some examples of a few players entering the Premier League from some other leagues. These players were not performing as well as they should have been. So, I think that is something which will always be in the back of the player's mind before moving to the English Premier League. It is true that Marcus Thuram is currently displaying positive performances. However, I am not sure how he is able to perform when there is bound to be a significant upgrade to the competition.
Inter just have such a potential in this season but they can't reflect this on the standings. Otherwise they are the second most effective attacking team in the league right now. The number of goals they have scored is nearly the same with Napoli. But they haven't been doing good in defense I'm afraid. They have conceded so many goals which dragged them down.
However there is still a long season ahead. Even if they don't catch up with Napoli they can still finish the season at the second position actually. They just need to improve their defending and this will help very much.

As Alex Ferguson said, "attack wins games, defense wins titles." Inter have conceded 22 goals and this is the worst record among the top 9 teams. It is clear that their gap from the second place is insignificant (only three points) and they have all the chances for the second place, but it seems to me that there is no chance for the first place at all.
Milan had good strategy to beat the Napoli on his home itself. Many people had the strategy of winning of Napoli in the club other then Milan in the club. Some are waiting for the fall of Napoli in the thread. Many working hard to make the people for Napoli at the bottom of table. When comparing the Empoli FC and Cremonese, the Empoli had huge chances to win the game. Because they had the previous record of W-D-L with the score of 2-1-3. But the same Cremonese had the history of 5D and 1L. So FC had more chance of winning this game between Cremonese.

This is only half of the season Napoli has been successful so far, but indeed we cannot underestimate the other team's eyes, it seems like there will be changes in the second half, even though the points are far from the other teams, but you can get close to Napoli if they are able to catch up, so don't too complacent with Napoli's greatness they have to be able to finish the second half if you want to be called a great team this season especially by winning the Scudetto.Of course I know Napoli is one of the favorites among the others, but I doubt they will be able to maintain a consistent performance until the end of the season.

Everyone has recognized and favored Napoli as an unbeatable team, but indeed among the other teams under him I am sure that I will be able to beat Napoli later but this also depends on the performance of the two teams competing.
Inter Milan still have good chances to win against Napoli at home. They have been taken out of their rhythm from a few weeks ago, they would have preferred to continue playing. And Giroud is always in shape for AC Milan, I expect that AC Milan will certainly get closer. Napoli still need to get a setback to make it exciting in the competition. But Napoli's focus will also be on the CL, just like Inter Milan and AC Milan, both of which are also active in Europe.
Apart from Inter Milan, maybe I would say that all clubs still have a chance to stop Napoli. Yes, so far Napoli has not had a club that can beat them, apart from Liverpool in the Champions League group stage. But that doesn't mean that Napoli won't be beaten this season, the opportunity is still very open for any club other than Inter Milan.The season is still very long, and even now we are not past the first half of the season. Competition will be even more interesting if Napoli can lose points in Serie A later. The first thing that must be done to beat Napoli is that they must first lift morale and also play even better after this World Cup break.

True, the performance of Napoli can't be looked down upon because they are going to be crown champions of the league should the league ends today and cueerrently they are the best-performing team in the Italian league this season and they have been able to maintain an unbeaten run since the beginning of the season till the international break so they deserve to be at the frontline of discussion since they are still the league leaders regardless of the other clubs which are doing well too but the performance of Napoli out ways all the other clubs this season.
The Performance of Napoli players is similar to that of Leicester as you clearly stated when they last won the league you could see the zeal to score goals and win matches in every game and the players are given their all in every Napoli game just to secure the 3 points to keep the winning run and keep the points ahead of other league contenders.
I also have the same belief as you, that Napoli will win the match, because Napoli on paper that they will win the match easily even though, of course they will face resistance, because Napoli will travel to San Siro where this is the headquarters of Inter Milan, hopefully Napoli can win this match, because I have prepared money to bet.
The victory that has been obtained by Napoli this season is through the hard work of the team as a whole and it is not a struggle that they get easily. Because every victory must be passed through difficult challenges by Napoli. So I wouldn't say the results that have been obtained by Napoli are very easy results even though on average Napoli have the ability to get them and continue their positive trend in the follow-up matches after the world cup.

We all saw it, Napoli are still the strongest team at the moment although I don't think Inter are a difficult opponent for them the levels are different 
Among other teams I see Juventus is the most aggressive lately slowly they take their place in the top 3 and they have the best defense with only 7 goals conceded
But in scoring goals they are low meaning that Juventus strikers are less productive and they could buy a new striker in the next transfer market.
I don't really agree with saying Inter are on a different level to Napoli now because it would be really funny to say the difference in level where they are actually quite the same in terms of players.Among other teams I see Juventus is the most aggressive lately slowly they take their place in the top 3 and they have the best defense with only 7 goals conceded
But in scoring goals they are low meaning that Juventus strikers are less productive and they could buy a new striker in the next transfer market.
It's just that at this time, not only Inter but other big clubs in Serie A (besides Napoli) always experience the same problem every year, namely failure in inconsistency and this is what makes the difference.
Inter are strong as a team, they have strong players.
But as a company it sucks, in fact the players are not cohesive, they are not a real team and they don't play as a team.
The real (historical) problem for Inter is this
It's not a small problem, it's been going on like this for years and years
then lose they get angry and insult who wins
I agree with what you said because it seems like this problem has always existed since the last few seasons and unfortunately Inter still can't fix this until now which makes it even more difficult for them to navigate the season.
