You are right, I like to focus on how well Napoli is doing, honestly it is one of the best performances they have done and I think they can continue to improve, as they say, 8 points is what separates AC Milan from Napoli , and although it is something very hard not to see Italy in this World Cup, I feel that it is also true that no player will feel pressure since they have no option of getting injured due to a high-level match, so when noticing all these things the Italian league can be favored in that its players will have less wear and tear, and that they will be able to use that time to download and have a better outlook after the end of the year, it is the best for the players.

Well, and good omens are coming for Napoli in terms of money:

The things that are coming for Napoli are very good, I think it is one of the best moments that the club is going through, what they can achieve is not bad, apart from the proposals that come to them are impressive.

Napoli has been playing well and is confident about staying at the top of the table. Another thing that is going to be positive for them is that the team is not going to be too concerned about the World Cup. Most of them are not slated to play in the World Cup, if I understand correctly.

So, that is going to be another big advantage for them. Right now. AC Milan has a really big disadvantage. And that puts them 8 points behind Napoli. Yes, it will be very challenging for them to cope with that deficit. But as far as I remember, we also saw similar types of things in the last season as well, but in the end, AC Milan actually became the winner.

Their current weakness is their unproductive front line which has an impact on their difficulty in scoring goals and winning in one game. They can have a defense that can be said to be strong, but if their forwards don't score then they can't win the game. Jose Mourinho's football philosophy has not been seen in AS Roma's performances where he prioritizes winning over playing well. But then again, how can they win the game if they can't score.
Mourinho will have to rack his brains to fix the shortcomings they currently have if they want a place in the top 4 standings.

the reality that is happening is that Napoli has left Milan and Juve far away, Napoli has established itself as the best team this season, and when the second half of the season starts, they will return to playing well. Milan and Juve have to hope that Napoli will lose the match they will do next, but that will be difficult to come true especially now that Napoli is in their best form.

I feel like missing 10+ players would make a team a terrible one, not all of them were starting 11 quality, but when you miss your player to injury and then the bench one also ends up being injured, that’s going to make that situation a lot worse as well, that doesn't mean that third place player would suffice, it would make it bad and sometimes instead of that you play someone else out of position, a great midfielder who plays at wing, or a great defender plays in wing back whatever, which is the trouble.

That’s why I do not really see how Juventus could have been decent this year, if the players heal and become better than we could maybe see them do a lot better.

AC Milan chances for the title are very low, I mean even though Milan won all the remaining matches but that was not enough because they also have to expect Napoli to play bad and as we see it is very impossible somehow how to stop Napoli who always get points in every game even without defeat. On the other hand Napoli have been waiting for this moment for a long time so they will not waste this opportunity they will do whatever they can and record new history.

When we look in the mirror from last season anything is possible but when Napoli are consistent now it's a little difficult.
But right now it is possible that supporters of other big clubs are waiting for the day when Napoli, who have so far been unbeaten, have bad luck because when they do that it will be a little easier for other clubs, especially when in Serie A a team that has to lose is likely to be inconsistent. that's what they are ready to face, even though this is only limited to seeing from their condition last season, there is still hope.

I like "signed 2 new players"
Pogba decision to not undergo a surgery at the beginning of the season made him, his national team and Juve suffer a lot. Hopefully he will recover by January and will not require additional time and especially avoid another injury, just like Benzema..
For Chiesa, he will return for sure but it is unlikely to see him playing like before after the knee injury imo. Unfortunately many players went through this and wasn't lucky. I don't want to be pessimistic but I hope he could maintain his good form.

As I said before they need to be more competitive against a team like Napoli. There was even a game between them this season but Milan lost the game in San Siro. Napoli are like they have proven how serious they are for the league title in every way. They have defeated so many big teams in the league so far.

Against a solid team like this Milan have a really difficult job to do. It is like they must continue with minimum point losses from now on to have a chance to catch up with Napoli. By the way Juventus are also right behind Milan by only two points. Milan had better focus on not losing their current position first.

The problem is even if they want to do this it will still be difficult. Milan's problem after their Scudetto was losses, not profits, so they were very passive in spending on players, so no matter how much they wanted to defend the title, it was definitely very difficult for them.
At best they finish in the top 4 positions, which is good enough in my opinion with their current condition.

Until now, the performance of the two teams will determine the movement of their standings. It will be very difficult to predict this because it depends on these two teams, of course. I prefer that AC Milan doesn't care about what Napoli achieves, they just have to stay focused on their achievements in every game, because they care about Napoli it will affect their mentality. Just imagine if we get competitors who are better than us, it will make our mentality fall right? The same thing will happen to AC Milan if you focus too much on Napoli's achievements. Focusing on yourself is the best thing AC Milan can do.

Where would AC Milan have set the bar this season? You would say that as a title holder you want to defend your title, but how serious would that be with this team? Last year you couldn't really expect them to become champions. Fortunately, Inter and Juventus have had a mediocre first half of the season, but on the other hand, Napoli is inimitable and the candidate is number 1. AC Milan may have to play the rest of the season without expectations, after all, they are also still active in the CL. Staying ahead of fellow townsman Inter is also a good starting point. The bookmakers are still confident that AC Milan is the 2nd title contender after Napoli.

The last 5 matches they only managed to get 1 win there of course this is not too good even though there were 2 draws for them but indeed they should get full points in this case because their opponents are only Sassuolo and Torino which incidentally should be below them.
Mou must go back to see what they lack but seeing their current condition it's actually not too much different from last season.

To catch up and shift Napili's position is indeed very difficult for Milan to do, At least they need eight points to win and Napili must lose to reduce their points but it is impossible to let Napoli lose on purpose, Napoli have the upper hand and are only a few steps away from enjoying their victory in the Serie A league.

The return of Chiesa and Pogba to the squad will delight many fans. But the question is can they be able to display a slick game after being injured? because it's not uncommon for players to look 180 degrees different when they return after an injury. They definitely need time to get to their best game, and it's going to take a process. We can only hope that in the process it won't take too long and come back with better abilities.

Things aren't going well for Roma these days. After a good start to the season it hasn't taken much time for their form to drop down sharply. They couldn't win any match on the last three weeks in the league. This bad form caused them to drop to the seventh position at the same time. They are mostly the victim of their bad results against big teams of the league. Mourinho just don't want to make important changes against more serious opponents and this makes things easier for their opponents.

Mourinho should be open for trying something new otherwise this season won't be much different than the previous one. Winning only against weaker teams won't be enough by itself for them to finish the season at a decent position and join the Champions League as well. Joining the Champions League must be an expectation by the board too.

well if these two players play again no doubt we will be stronger but i still think that Allegri should think about signing some great player in attack, i know that for some unknown reason in the last few games juventus has been doing well, but that it could also be thanks to luck, because this attack by juventus does not inspire confidence, I do not know if juventus does not hire great players in attack because of bad finances or is it because coach Allegri is a stubborn guy, but if juventus wants to have a team that fights to win the serie A and the champions league, so juventus will need to have good players in the attack, the defense they can even be good, but in the attack they don't inspire confidence in me

If no key Napoli players get injured due to the World Cup, I think Napoli will win the title. Because their match strategy is excellent. Due to not playing together for a long time, maybe the performance of Napoli will be a little unstable in the first few matches. However, it will not take long for Napoli to stabilize themselves. Because Napoli coach Luciano is experienced enough. And this season he has been able to create the best match strategy for the team. So I would say if Napoli players are injured then Napoli will not lose form.

It is still very possible for AC Milan to defend the Scudetto title this season as long as they can play consistently and win one match after another. It also depends on Napoli's performance, if Napoli declines in terms of performance and loses point after point then that will increase the chances for AC Milan to take over the position now occupied by Napoli. But with Napoli doing well so far, I have a feeling they won't miss the excellent opportunities they have now. Napoli are 8 points away from AC Milan and it will be very difficult for AC Milan to catch up, especially since a big game awaits them in the second half of this season.

With Juventus, this always happens. At least from the last few seasons. They are starting the season performing, not very well and towards the end, they start performing well. And when it comes to the end of the season, they generally finish at least in the top four. I think it is gonna be something similar like that this season as well.

But every time there is a break Juventus generally takes time to settle with things. So, I wonder if they are going to take time when the club competition resumes as well. But if they continue playing like they are playing right now, I think they have a very good chance to actually win the league title.

Obviously, Napoli is way ahead. There will have to lose some matches if some other team has to get on the top, but I think from the second position almost any team in the top six has that chance.
