this year is Napoli year
I think Napoli will also be more focused on the Champions league and their local league since they are out of the Coppa Italia so it's a good experience and hopefully they will be more focused in winning their next matches.
You are correct, their main ambition this season isn't the coppa Italia, and i am not saying this because they have been eliminated from the competition, i know they would have liked to beat Cremonese yesterday, they didn't lose because they didn't want to win, they lost because Cremonese played a good game yesterday. But now that it has happened and Napoli are out, they can now focus on the Italian seria A championship, that is the trophy they want to win, it has been 33 years since they won it last, and they are about to break that curse. They are still in the champions league too, though i don't feel they can win it, but they are going to get to the quarter final, and maybe the semi final, but i don't think they can reach the final.

2-2 between Cremonese and Napoli in the extra times of the Coppa Italia 
.
Cremonese is also down by 1 man, Napoli already won right?
It was a surprised match to Napoli fans, because many people concluded that the match will end up for the favour of Napoli based on Napoli was leading the match in the first half but the match later turned to draw at 82 minutes that lead to penalty shootout. I think, Napoli coach will learn something from this match never to look down on any small team in the Italian league competition, because the coach didn't release some potential players from bench that made them to experienced some challenges in their display..Cremonese is also down by 1 man, Napoli already won right?

Cremonese have pulled a shocker, by winning the game on penalties. I never would have tipped them as winners, and I did not even see the possibility of the game going into penalties. The Ghanaian International playing for Cremonese, Afena Gyan will not be forgotten by Napoli supporters and those who bet on Napoli heavily to win because he ended all out hopes with that perfectly placed header that sent the game to Penalties. This win sends Cremonese to the Quarter finals and they look to be playing against Mourinho next..Cremonese is also down by 1 man, Napoli already won right?

The reversed is the case because Napoli lost the game in penalties but they were better than Cremonese in terms of ball control they had good dominance in the game but they failed to make use of their chances very well to score more goals to seal the game and now they have been knocked out in the round of 16 I believe this will also be a good lesson to them never to underestimate any small team because for a team like Cremonese to come back in a game to win Napoli in penalties shows that any thing is possible in football.
I think Napoli will also be more focused on the Champions league and their local league since they are out of the Coppa Italia so it's a good experience and hopefully they will be more focused in winning their next matches.

AS Roma won a very valuable match for them after in the last 4 matches they only won 1 match and the other 3 matches ended in a draw. Paulo Dybala became the actor for this important victory with the 2 goals they scored. But this is also inseparable from the red card that the Florentine player got in the 24th minute, this is a distinct advantage for AS Roma because it is easier for them to create opportunities and convert them into goals.
I'm happy for Roma, Mourinho's team remains in the top 4 contenders group, even though they are 3 points behind the favorites in this race, and there are two other teams that have as many points as Roma. By the way, it’s funny how the standings look after this round: Napoli are far from everyone, then the three favorite teams in the fight for the top 4, then the three underdog teams with an equal number of points, and then all the rest who are hopelessly behind and have no chance of getting into European cups.Unpleasantly surprised by Udinese, which for some time were close to the leaders and now sinks deeper and deeper.
It was obviously very important for Roma to win this match. And it was also good to see that they were actually able to win. But at the same time, they were also lucky. Roma dominated almost 66 minutes of the match because of a red card. And I have to say that they took full advantage of it. Paulo Dybala performed really well in this match. Roma had absolute control over the match.
In the end, I have to say it was quite easy for Roma to win this match, especially because of the red card. From now it is going to be very interesting to see if Roma can improve further. Because they have a good chance of finishing in the top three or four this season if they can perform well consistently.

I think the defeat against Napoli before made Juventus continue to correct mistakes, I believe Juventus can get 3 full points against Atalanta later, because of course Juventus want to keep their position
But indeed Atalanta could also bite Juventus again in this match. Even though Atalanta's performance still has problems after a very good start to the season, of course with 2 wins in the previous match this could be something very good for Atalanta.Regardless of anything they are now trying to improve performance again. It will be a bit of a troublesome game for Juventus even if they are playing at home which will be watched by millions of fans.
Although Juventus did not start the season well, they slowly made up for the problems within the team. But now it seems they have become unstable again. In the last match, the Juventus team was defeated by a margin of 5-1 against Napoli. Atalanta are in much better form now compared to Juventus. Atalanta's 8-2 win over Salernitana surprised everyone. Atalanta's players are very confident now. And so I think Atalanta will be able to win against Juventus.

Atatalanta was also in the need of three points from Juventus. Juventus itself wanna try to stay at the top 3 if the club won't able to get the scudetto. Losing against atalanta meant if juventus can be surpassed by another team below it.
This is a battle that is going to be quite exciting and tight. And they are like risking their respective positions because of the tight competition in the Serie A board standing. Even up to the 7 rank, their points are the same. So whoever loses will immediately fall. Both Juventus and Atalanta have their own motivation and goals for why they have to win, especially if they lose then their position will be immediately displaced. Here, several other clubs should take advantage of this moment to win and take the top position, but indeed in Serie A, everything is not as easy as we say. this year the Italian championship is very competitive, leaving aside Napoli who are massacring everyone, from second position to seventh position the points of difference are very few, if a team makes a false step it can easily be thrown out of positions they give access to the next European competitions, for this reason both for Juventus and Atalanta the goal will be to win, and teams like Lazio Roma Inter and Milan can take advantage of it to increase the advantage points

As Napoli continued to perform consistently well. It was not expected that they would lose against a team like Cremonese. I would say the Cremonese were very lucky. They scored in the 87th minute to equalize the match. But in the whole match we see the dominance of Napoli players. Napoli players played well. He had 70% of the ball possession and made 20 shots. However, due to the Cremonese defensive strategy, Napoli could not score many goals. Napoli had to be eliminated from the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.
But indeed Penalties are a different thing in this game. On the other hand, their focus is still not here and I actually don't expect much from Napoli in other competitions apart from Serie A and the Champions League because their priority is still in these 2 competitions.

Nope, they got eliminated.
Now they can only focus on local league and Champions League. This is what happens when you don't take your opponent seriously. The last of the league, which doesn't even have a win, can come and eliminate you in the cup. Big lesson for Napoli. They are not champions yet so take this night as an example. Don't repeat same mistakes. After all these years they are so close to championship, they shouldn't ruin it.

I'm sorry but I mistakenly gave Atalanta a goal to Napoli, my oversight! LoL however I fully agree with you, it will be a very close game, for Juventus losing again would mean making all the good things they have created so far vanish, but Atalanta will hardly give up without a fight, we will see a good game I'm sure
Atatalanta was also in the need of three points from Juventus. Juventus itself wanna try to stay at the top 3 if the club won't able to get the scudetto. Losing against atalanta meant if juventus can be surpassed by another team below it. That will be so difficult to stay in the top 3. Intermilan has the same points as juventus. Meanwhile, if juventus will be losing against atalanta and intermilan will be surpassing juventus then atalanta got the same points as juventus. Juventus's second target shall be stay at the top three to be able qualified for the champion league next season. That's it.

Lazio performance isn't better than AC Milan performance. Just take a look at the results of their last 5 matches! AC Milan won 2 matches and got 3 draws. While Lazio got 2 losses, 2 wins, and 1 draw. I think AC Milan performance is still better. Also, if we consider the squad quality, AC Milan is better because they have more top players. So, no doubt that AC Milan is the favorite team to win the next match (Lazio vs AC Milan). Although the match will be held in Lazio home, I am pretty sure that AC Milan will succeed to get full points. They must be motivated in their current situation, they need 3 points to maintain their position at 2nd place.
Milan remain the favorites in that game despite their inconsistent form in the last few outings. Just like you, I think Milan will win that match against Lazio and continue its fight to stay in second place in the standings. Juventus will face Atalanta, that should make Milan even more motivated if Juventus lose. If Milan loses while Juventus and Inter win, then Milan must be willing to drop 2 places to 4th place. That would obviously be bad.But on the other hand, Milan is still having a little trouble at the moment, especially when they have to finish the final with Inter, which could have unwanted things happen, even though the break was clearly long for the match against Lazio.
