It is difficult for Napoli to make successive mistakes, for sure their performance will be maintained until the second half of the season will run in winter, this is a very strong candidate for Napoli to win the Scudetto with too many points. There is a possibility that Napoli can be more confident and will not make more mistakes fatal.
AC Milan and other teams might also try to catch up on points from being far behind but that has to be done and don't make many mistakes but I believe AC Milan can be consistent about fighting for the Scudetto this season.

And if AC Milan is able to match points with Napoli in the second half of the season or rather after the world cup is over, it also still opens up opportunities for Napoli to fight for the Scudetto. Because when Napoli start to make mistakes and lose some matches, the Napoli team will definitely evaluate their strategy and how to play well so that their competitors do not take the top position in an easy way.

Leaving in the winter means giving up the Serie A title that Napoli is close to getting and ending their Champions League run since you can't play for two different clubs in the same Champions League season. I think zero players are interested in this option even if they are offered a triple salary. They'll just wait for the summer. Sometimes illogical transitions happen (like Casemiro to United) but I don't think that will happen to Napoli players who are title hungry.

There isn't a board that isn't angry when their team isn't doing well or even bad, and it's common for them to threaten to fire coaches if they don't also make changes in their appearance. A coach must always walk with criticism received from team fans or even management, this will build and motivate him to work even better. If a coach doesn't get pressure and criticism, it will actually make it worse because maybe he continues to be in his comfort zone.

Inter Milan and Juventus will not remain silent, of course the two clubs have strategies that are absolutely accurate to thwart Napoli from winning the Scudetto this season, even though these two clubs contributed the most players to the World Cup, Juventus have actually prepared several players to face Udinese. before against Napoli and can rest his players from the World Cup matches, and later the players will be ready to face Napoli..

Whatever is happening at Juventus at the moment is something to be expected. I don't hate Juventus at all, but seeing juventus performance at the beginning of the season I was a little surprised. I remember when the Juventus board threatened Allegri, this was proof that the Juventus officials were also angry with Juve's performances this season. Sometimes pressure from official and fans are needed when coach failed to give their best.

True, this is still very likely to happen in Serie A this season. Nobody knows for sure how they will be after the World Cup, whether they will be able to play consistently or if they make something wrong in every game they will play, nobody knows about that. I also hope that other teams will not let Napoli freely win the title comfortably without the slightest pressure, I hope that the big teams will do their best to put pressure on Napoli.

In this case, fortunately Allegri is still rational in his response because he is also aware that he will not get any advantage when the condition of the players is so lacking that inevitably it forces Juventus to be in a bad condition.
These days the conditions are clearly different and Allegri proved himself that with their players returning it was enough to make all the haters silent with the Juventus game.

Exactly, exactly what I meant
Allegri didn't hurt given the emergency situation. Those who criticized him understood absolutely nothing.
It's also true that luck is needed, for example the Napoli players are in top form, they are rockets and never seem to get tired.

It's not that Juventus don't have the money to fire Allegri, but if Juventus fire Allegri then the severance pay to be paid is huge. At least that was one of the reasons Juventus did not fire Allegri even though Juventus' performance was very chaotic at that time, but slowly Juventus' performance began to improve again as several key players recovered from the injuries they had experienced.
Thus, of course Juventus will be back in the title race this season, even though they still have a fairly wide gap in points with the leaders but I am pretty sure that Juventus will be able to close this point gap.

Regarding Napoli, no one knows for sure whether his performance will suffer after the break. But I personally have absolutely no predictions that will increase confidence about the decline in Napoli's performance, only I believe that Napoli are also not 100% strong and can still be held to a draw or defeated.
Because so far even though Napoli are still unbeaten, the reality is that Napoli have gotten two draws. this result at least shows that Napoli can still be held back and thus, Napoli's pace can be kept from getting too far away.

If that can be done and at the same time the competing teams in the title race are getting their best form again and can maintain consistency, then of course Napoli's position is still not safe at the top of the standings.
But if Napoli really can maintain its consistency, then of course it will be difficult for the team under it to catch up with Napoli, which already has a pretty good gap in points.

Playing with a crowded hospital for many injured players is not good so Juventus must get out of their medical mess as soon as possible. Anyway, in the meantime, Max Allegri and his healthy players have done a good job to jump to a third position in Serie A. It will be a good foundation for them when Serie A returns after World Cup. In next three weeks, I hope that they will have more good news from player recovery.

It is too soon to say either Juventus or Inter Milan or AC Milan will be able to win Scudetto in this season when we all see that Napoli have dominated this league so far and created very big differences with other clubs. They are at a safe position now and if they are carefully with playing, with their good mood, they can achieve more good results in upcoming matches.

It's also true that Juventus had a lot of injuries and that they were practically playing in an emergency. Not to mention that he had no money to spend on buying or changing coaches (to make the fans happy). The calm and patience in keeping Allegri (who is a good coach) finally paid off once the injured players returned.
An Inter mentality, which changes coaches as soon as the wind blows a little, leads nowhere.

But I am optimistic that Juventus have resurrected in their last few games, that they will be able to equalize points with Napoli, even though Juventus is the club that has contributed the most players to the World Cup, but Juventus still has Italian players who did not participate in the World Cup this year. right now, so some Juventus players are focusing on their training like the young Juventus and Chiesa are training to restore his confidence after the injuries he experienced, so I think Juventus have that opportunity, to turn around who are only 10 points behind Napoli..

Why am I optimistic about Juventus winning the title this year, because back in 2015, Juventus were not as consistent in their initial matches as this year, and they were mired in 18th place in the standings, of course that is a red zone for Juventus, but as time goes on when they came back and caught up with Napoli in that time, and in the end they managed to win the title...

Maybe if Napoli are not careful we might see Juventus stealing the titles again from Napoli as Milan did last season stealing the league from Napoli. Napoli's Coach and board are very determine though.
Juventus turned all those game's around in a twinkle of an eye here they are third position in the table fully ready and focused to win any club they face next round of the season. Napoli should be also focused if they should win the League.

Yes, Napoli will face a tough challenge after the World Cup. Some teams are likely to improve their squad. But the eight-point advantage allowed Spalletti to settle down a bit and they just needed to keep their form as before. Napoli will face tough matches in January, they will face Juventus and Inter Milan. If they can overcome these two teams, Napoli's chances of winning the Scudetto will be even greater.

I don't think, Napoli will do any mistake that will make their points to drop down after the break, because their players are well organized in this season to remain on top till they get to final in this Italian league competition. Even though, there will be surprise after the world cup, it will be a surprise of favour to Napoli to improve higher after the world cup, because their coach will like to introduce more tactics that will make them to remain unbeatable in their remaining matches. I think, this world cup is another opportunity to some players that their countries qualified for the FIFA world cup competition to use the opportunity to showcase their skills.

Winter transfer is higher risky than summer transfer because there are less good available players on the market for sale and new players will not have enough time to train and get familiar with their new team-mates. Big clubs if don't have serious issues, usually don't join winter market a lot and satisfy with what they have from summer transfer market.

Napoli will be able to keep their star players in winter transfer but I am very doubtful that they will be able to repeat it in next summer transfer. Anyway, it is a future challenge and at least they should try to accomplish something with these players, a first Scudetto after Maradonna time is perfect for Napoli.

These players need best for their career and families exclusively better salary and Napoli also need good money from transfer in order to rebuild their team. Even if they keep their star players, it is hard for them to win another Scudetto or Champions League. And after two or three seasons, they will likely have to sell their star players at lower transfer prices that I am sure they never want.

This will become increasingly clear next winter, AC Milan, Lazio and Juventus will enter the transfer market to increase the strength of their team, because the Scudetto hunt is still open for four clubs, AC Milan is only eight points adrift of Napoli.

If Napoli make three mistakes, then their closest competitor will offset the points. There will be many surprises when the matches take place next winter, those who were previously unbeaten will experience defeat or vice versa. Napoli must anticipate the possibility that will occur, in order to maintain the Scudetto opportunity.

They are professional players, they must know how to keep their mentality and physical health during the league break. I only feel afraid about the transfer window in January, it is a big challenge for Napoli to keep their players. It will be a big problem if some key players decide to move to other clubs because of an offer of big money. I know Napoli can get the replacement, but the new players sometimes need much time to play at their best level. This is very possible to influence their performance. I am worried that Napoli can't consistently get full points if there is a change in their key players.

Juventus finished the round of matches before the world cup very well, i feel they had to show something after being eliminated from the champions league, their manager's job was in danger, the players had to react and they did, their impressive performance took them as high as third position, and back in the competition for the title. The only problem is that Napoli have been too good, they still have a 10 point advantage on Juventus, and i do not see what will affect Napoli's form after the world cup, they would remain strong and will surely win the league with a big gap.
