8 points is a very solid advantage considering the shape Napoli are in. Losing such an advantage is not so easy, especially since Milan and Juventus are also likely will lose points, since these teams are not so good now, despite the fact that Juventus have really become much better lately. Napoli's main task now is simply to maintain this advantage. Napoli had a slump last season that robbed them of their Scudetto chances, Spalletti remembers that well and will try to avoid a repeat of that.

It is clear that Napoli are not safe even though they are 8 points ahead and the competition still has 20+ matches left
But if they are able to hold  undefeated record then their potential to win the tittle is bigger and the team that will be their main competitor is Juventus, I see Juventus having improved performance.

More precisely, there is half a season left for all the matches that all teams in Serie A will play and that is enough to change the position of each team in the standings. Indeed, Napoli is not safe yet, given the competition from several teams Ac Milan, Juventus and Lazio are still wide open for the Scudetto hunt this season. So don't be complacent in advance for Napoli even though their average difference is 10 points.

With Napoil continuing to play in the Champions League plus they are very close to winning the Serie A title, even if some Napoli player wants to change clubs, he will most likely wait for the summer. At the moment, it is absolutely stupid to leave a club that will give you at least one significant title. And do it for half the season + deprive yourself of the Champions League.

A few? there are still lots of games to come soon. Napoli will have a very long time to go to defend its position. It's currently at the top of standing with huge gap to the second place which owned by ac milan. The problem may occur once some players of napol leave from the club.
There are lots of rumours about some players that potentially out from napoli but these rumours have not yet confirmed caused by napoli has not released any statement regarding the transfer for its players. I can hope only napoli will try to defend its players from another club.
That will make napoli can still continue the positive trend in italian league.

there are still a few games left this season and we don't know if they can maintain their position at the top of the standings, although it might be difficult for the teams below them to catch Napoli but don't be happy just yet because we don't know if Napoli are still playing consistently 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.

At least hope for conditions in the Champions League a little better in this knockout phase, even though the victory is still not certain, but facing Frankfurt on paper they are the favorites.
On the other hand for Serie A this still needs a little concentration for them even though they are currently very good from the table but considering the matches are still long there is no time for them to relax now.

Currently, Zielinski and Osimhen are the most highlighted by big clubs and of course this is a difficult choice because indeed this still has risks there.
But I would prefer if they kept this player, for too long they have had bad luck in Serie A always failing towards the end. this should not be allowed to go away, especially with the current point difference which is far enough that it would be better to hold on even though there are indeed some offers that are actually tempting.
Regardless of what will happen next season, that's a later matter, but it would be better to keep the players at this time because if one of them leaves, I think their stability will decrease a little.

I also hope that Napoli will be able to take care of their players very well this season, because Napoli are in two very prestigious competitions this season. Apart from having to try to get the Scudetto at the end of this season, Napoli are also expected to be able to compete in the Champions League this season so that the golden history they have carved can be even better.

A salary increase or bonus really needs to be implemented by Napoli in order to keep its players from leaving for another team in the near future. Because it won't be long before the transfer window for players will also open and the teams will definitely try to submit several offers that might be very tempting for the players the team wants.

Napoli have promising performance in this season and possibility with domestic league trophy after managed first standing position behind 8 points left with AC Milan. Import for Napoli if want compete in tittle race for keeping their player until league ended and reject with all offering coming for their player until next window transfer. Have building scheme at the early if Napoli left their player in winter transfer window, need process few weeks later and not sure can consistency performance when many player change in starting eleven.

Inter Milan become first opponent for Napoli after World Cup 2022 and if can handle three points will make it easy, left Juventus as top opponent team in half season. Napoli have won from Milan, Lazio and right now left with Inter, Juventus and AS Roma when half season matches left.

Yes, what you say is true, this would greatly complicate Napoli in all its expression, what I like about Napoli is that it is a team that is totally aligned with the beautiful game, and that they are totally integrated with each other, this is something that I really like, because I have seen few teams like this, on one occasion I saw that Argentina had something similar to what Napoli is, and another team that gets along quickly is Brazil, however, in a club like this, this union exists It is something that turns out to be very difficult, and if this player cannot be in the starting squad, I am sure that the substitute will do his job well.

Well, the truth is that the case of Juve saddens me, I hope they can recover, I particularly hope that Napoli doesn't falter, I have seen a lot of speculation news where they indicate that many Napoli players will leave and that is something that is not very well, because they already have a commitment that is to play very well for their team, they already have many things in progress and the mere fact that several are going to leave leaves many in a bad light and they will not allow it to emerge as well as they are, yes They have quite an advantage in terms of points, but if they go on a losing and losing streak it would not be indicated by the tremendous effort they have put in.

Don't count Naples in your pocket
they certainly have foreseen this and would be happy to shell out bonuses in view of a win
you don't understand how long they've been waiting (from Maradona) to win another championship
at least they'll party a whole year, if you know how they think

Moving to Manchester United is certainly not the right choice because Min-jae Kim should also be able to realize it himself, playing for Manchester United is a tough challenge and not all players are ready for the challenges that exist at Manchester United. But if they only want to play under the influence of a big name team like Manchester United, then of course that reason is very inappropriate.
But from several sources, I also received other information which said that now it is not only Manchester United who are interested in Min-jae Kim, but also Real Madrid are starting to show interest.

If the offer from Real Madrid really comes through, then I'm not sure Min-jae Kim will stay at Napoli, because joining Real Madrid is the dream of many players like him.
In addition, Min-jae Kim himself is relatively new in Napoli and more precisely Min-jae Kim has just joined Napoli at the start of this season, and Min-jae Kim's own contract will end in 2025 and that is still long.
Therefore, I think anything can still happen if an offer comes from Real Madrid, but if the offer is only from Manchester United then it would be better for Min-jae Kim to stay at Napoli and that's better for the season.

I agree with you. Napoli's management must defend their players as much as possible, even though tempting offers have come from various other clubs. This season is a momentum for Napoli to record golden history because the opportunity to get the Scudetto is wide open.

Napoli players so far have been able to appear extraordinary both in Serie A and in the Champions League. Conditions like that will be very difficult to maintain if there are players who want to leave. And to maintain the desire of players with big offers from other clubs, management can promise them salary increases and bonuses if they win the Scudetto.

It would be better if Napoli kept their players until the league ended, because that would be very risky for them in the future. Napoli's game is very promising with teamwork and chemistry between good players. So when they have to change the line-up, there will definitely be a process where they have to re-create chemistry again, that's the risk. Because not all players will quickly adapt to good chemistry.
Spalleti should be able to see that his current squad is in good shape, maybe it would be better if they brought in players to be a more formidable back-up, and also sell players who are not showing good progress in training.

yes but I'm not judging how he plays in detail, I look at the stats and points from previous seasons
it's true that if you compare this season to the previous one it doesn't make much sense, but if you look at the trend you'll see that Roma were already in good positions 3-4 years ago
so Mou hasn't done any miracles, he has taken over a good team and is making some changes
everything you would expect from a professional Serie A coach
Spalletti is doing better with Napoli and it's not the special one

During this season Ritsu Doan performance is so impressive that after transfered from PSV to Freiburg this summer he can adapt quickly with his current team and bringing Freiburg reach to second position under Bayern on Bundesliga and he was performing well too at world cup with scoring 2 goals at that tournament and bringing Japan qualifed to round of 16 so i am not surprised if Roma putting him into their watchlist and possibly will bought him from Freiburg and he is the typical player who able to playing well at different positions such as wingers or second striker so if Roma really bought him this will be a good advantage for them

As roma really need many good players to improve their preformence, current they are in the 7th position behind Atalanta and inter which is not a good position for a club like AS roma, this is why the club must have some activities in the Mercato, also it's a very good idea to pick some players who did well in the world cup

Osimhen has been a player admired by many top teams for years now, I even overhead someone saying he will go to Manchester United in January lol. Obviously this teams have undying wish of having Osimhen on their side but how open Napoli are to letting the player go seems to be the major problem and it seems until they have their minds made up it will be very difficult to see this deal realistic even with the many options they have in their attack.
A lot of players had exposure in the world cup and are currently being monitored in the transfer market so it is expected that players who were impressive would be scouted and clubs will enquire about their availability and that includes Kim Min Jae, I still expect to read about more names when the window opens. Like I said before, Napoli's decision seems to be the deciding factor for Victor Osimhen moving away because the club have been so adamant to letting the player leave.
