I don't know what has happened between the club president and Victor Oshime but, saying he fell out with Antonio Conte is nothing but misinformation truthfully. They had talks together but Victor Oshime stated he wants to leave the club, Antonio Conte even came out to say that he will not get involved with whatever that happened last season. I hate the comparison between Victor Oshime and Romelu Lukaku, check the stats and you'd see that having Victor Oshime in your sqaud is a great thing. Well, I'm rooting for Napoli to win the Seria A Scudetto League Competition.

What Conte has done with Napoli is impressive, but it's important to keep in mind that we are only at the beginning of the season. Consistency will be key in determining the true strength of the team. Like Spalletti, Conte's impact has been immediate and significant, likely due to his champion mentality that he instills in his players. However, maintaining this level of performance throughout the season and indeed, in the midst of competing in smaller competitions as well as the UCL and the UEL, will be the real test. If Naples is able to do so, there's a good chance of them becoming a major threat this season, possibly even taking the lead in Serie A and winning the Scudetto title.

Spalletti has been working with Napoli for quite a long time so that they finally managed to win Serie A and this is different from Conte who has just coached Napoli but he was able to make a very significant difference to Napoli's performance.
In terms of strength, Napoli is now very good but they must be able to maintain their consistency, at the beginning of the season like this we have not been able to measure the true strength of the team, let alone maintaining consistency, of course it is not easy.

Currently, Napoli has not recovered 100%, but if Conte can continue to make Napoli maintain its current performance and continue to develop it, I am sure Napoli's performance can be better than now. Because it is natural that currently Napoli are still not able to perform like when Napoli were able to become Serie A champions. This is due to the adaptation factor which is of course a process that should not be missed. The reason is that with the arrival of Lukaku, and also several other players, all of them still need perfect adaptation to be able to produce their best performance. Likewise with Conte, as a coach he also definitely needs adaptation, therefore it is natural that Napoli's current performance has not been able to surpass Napoli's performance when coached by Spalleti. Because in essence, Napoli players and coaches need perfect adaptation to be able to produce their best performance.

And currently, in my opinion, Conte is halfway to bringing Napoli to its best performance. So we'll see how things develop, whether Napoli will continue to experience improved performance or vice versa. Because I also somewhat agree with your opinion that Napoli cannot currently be said to be showing their best performance. Maybe assessing Napoli's performance at the end of the season could be a very accurate assessment. And I also agree with you, regarding Osimhen. The reason is that up to now, Osimhen can be said to still be Napoli's best striker, because Osimhen was able to bring Napoli to become Serie A champions. Meanwhile, Lukaku, he is still a new player at Napoli, so it is not yet known whether he will be able to make achievements at Napoli like Osimhen or not. So yes, we'll see what Lukaku's fate will be like at Napoli.

The Napoli team managed to occupy the top spot in the Serie A table. The performance of every team in Serie A this season has been very erratic. No team can maintain the winning streak. Giant teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus have won only 3 out of 6 matches. Napoli's performance is relatively stable. Napoli won 4 out of 6 matches. And lost a match.

I wouldn't say Napoli's overall performance is too good. Because so far Napoli have not played against any strong opponents. Napoli faced Juventus and the match ended in a goalless draw. I look forward to seeing how Napoli perform against Inter Milan or AC Milan.

What Conte is doing now makes me remember when Napoli still with Spalletti gave a title at the end of the season and everything that Conte gave now is similar to Spalletti.
On the one hand, this effort was made easily by the coach because Napoli did not have a busy schedule only competed in small competitions and took advantage of conditions when other large teams that were struggling to meet the match schedule at UCL and UEL. With this increase I became a little thinking if Napoli this season became a threat and had a great opportunity to lead the A series at the end of the season to get a Scudetto title.

The problem is the dispute between Victor Oshimen and their manager which makes the club unable to perform optimally because both of them cannot create good chemistry and cooperation but Oshimen is not a burden for the team because he has made a pretty good contribution so far so if his hard work so far is not appreciated it is better to go to another team that can appreciate him more and going to Galatasaray is not a bad decision there he has the opportunity to play in the Europa League and I am sure there will be an elite club that recruits him whether it is Chelsea or Arsenal and maybe the price will not be as expensive as before.

I also do not think Osimhen was problem for Napoli. Actually he helped club grow a lot and deserved to be recognized as one of top players even though Kvaratskhelia got that honor. Osimhen disagreement with manager hurt team performance last season. Moving to Galatasaray gave him new chance but joining Chelsea would have been even better for his career. Still Galatasaray can get best out of Osimhen by keeping his spirits high because football is about feelings and motivation not just skills and talent.

I don't think Osimhen is any burden to the club. As a matter of fact, he has contributed immensely to the development of the club to the level that he was meant to be awarded a the king of Napoli, in my opinion, but the position went to Kvarat. I know the player was not in good times with the manager and they're misunderstanding relationship greatly affected the performance of the club in the last season compared to when Osimhen was still very functional

Going to Galatasaray was a break for him, but I wish he had go to Chelsea instead. Chelsea was a good option to Osimhen since that will affect his career strongly. However, Galatasaray isn't a bad idea yet and they need to keep the guy's spirit high to get maximum resultd from him. Football is all about emotions after you've taken out the skills and talents

On papers Inter Milan is looking strong but in this season we are having good start for the Torino in last three games we have same level performance for both clubs but still Inter Milan is much strong and having good quality so most chances we will be having won for them at home Torino looking for bounce back after having lost against Lazio at home and Inter Milan wants to come back after having defeat at home in Milan derby.

Both clubs are having same level defense but Inter Milan attack is much stronger and have better depth which is giving them good advantage for having better results like they have last night against Crvena zvezda in Champions League game this season is going to have good end as we are having the good number of contestants for the title race.

The internal problem is that Osimhen is not very talented in reducing arrogance and management decisions that always trigger anger from Osimhen, so they can never be united as long as there is no one who wants to give in.

Conte's arrival at Napoli also added spice to the matter as we saw that he directly said that he didn't need Osimhen in the squad which indirectly forced would also not go well as he would definitely remain on the bench so in this case the problem became even more complex.

Right now I don't think we need to discuss further about him at Napoli because now he has decided his path to be on loan and maybe next season will go to a new club or if he can't he will try to be loaned back which is important not at Napoli because Osimhen realizes that he will never be considered a player by Conte later.

Milan lost though. This is why I believe they may win this game, because they lost to Leverkusen and losing once more here would make things much harder, they would go to international break terribly if they do this, hence I believe they are going to face a lot of trouble if they lose. They are going to play to win, bring everything they have to this game and get that three points. This will allow them to not finish the period with a loss, they will have a win and they will be happy with their win as well.

I believe Milan is not terrible, they are not going to win the league if you ask me but they are guaranteed to finish top four, so they should be winning games like these to get to that place. I believe a win for Napoli and Milan would be very good bet.

There have been many positives since Conte was appointed Napoli manager, the revival of Napoli being one of the most important. Osimhen loan move to Galatasaray was a shame, but their success in bringing in Lukaku as a replacement has been another stroke of good fortune. The fans certainly have a lot of respect for Osimhen and have not forgotten his contribution, and now they will enjoy the journey with Lukaku.
Of course, we have to wait until the end of the season to see who will lift the Scudetto, I think Napoli are one of the strong candidates at the moment, if you look at their reputation this season. We know it's not an easy job, Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan will continue to push until the end of the season. In the end, we'll see how much Lukaku will impact Napoli, before we finally see the Osimhen transfer saga heat up again.
The chemistry that has formed between Conte and Lukaku in the past, has helped speed up their adaptation at Napoli.

So far Atalanta and Inter Milan have managed to be in a fairly safe position in the UCL because they have not been defeated. Inter Milan and Atalanta even finished the second match with big wins. Like Inter Milan who managed to beat Red Star with a score of 4-0, then Atalanta also managed to beat Shakhtar with a score of 0-3.

And the next matches that will take place soon are the Juventus vs Leipzig match and the Liverpool vs Bologna match. I'm sure Juventus will win today's match in the UCL. But I'm not sure Bologna can win against Liverpool. And maybe Bologna also needs luck to be able to hold Liverpool to a draw. But I hope at least Juventus wins. For Bologna I have given up because playing Liverpool is one of the most difficult in the UCL. Meanwhile, AC Milan doesn't seem to be so lucky in the UCL because they have suffered two defeats.

Victor Osimhen strongly rejected to play for Napoli after this Napoli management have no option, and they omitted him from the squad but in last few days of the transfer window we have Galatasaray was lucky club as they were able to secure this loan transfer at the end which is good for the all parties because with this loan deal we have good breakthrough between Napoli and Victor Osimhen now they already cut the asking price which was huge and no club were ready to play, and he extended his contract which will help Napoli for selling him on good price with these things will be sorted out smoothly in coming months.

As situation is going into Serie A we will be having good matches for the title race as we have few top clubs are doing good from the start, and they are created good space which is going to help them for having good chance for the title race as well.

Of course, we must not forget the contribution of great players like Osimhen who helped Napoli win the title again in Serie A after this team had not won a title for a long time. And I remember Napoli winning the title first in the Maradona era. And then repeat it again in the Osimhen era. but we also have to look at the fact that what made Napoli a great team was because of the very important role of their coach at that time, namely Spalletti. Because after Spalletti left we even saw that Osimhen experienced a decline in performance and was no longer as productive as when Spalletti was still at Napoli.

And regarding Lukaku, he knows the game in Serie A very well. because he has a lot of experience at several clubs in Serie A in recent seasons. Because Chelsea continues to loan him to Serie A clubs. So it's not so strange to see Lukaku immediately integrated into Napoli's game. Because Lukaku is a senior player who already knows how to adapt quickly to a club. And what's more, Napoli currently has a great coach who seems to be making this team count again.

We cannot forget Osimhen's contribution to Napoli which has even brought Napoli to its peak of glory again in the 2023 season. So seeing the fact that Osimhen is now on loan and replaced by Lukaku is actually quite painful if we respect Osimhen. But this is the best decision so far. because we have to respect Osimhen's wishes, who no longer feel comfortable at Napoli. And Lukaku seems like even though he is still new here, he immediately feels comfortable here. because maybe the coach that Napoli currently has is a coach that Lukaku knows and the two of them have worked together and achieved sweet results at the club that brought them together, namely Inter Milan. And it looks like Conte and Lukaku want to do it again here at Napoli, namely winning the title in Serie A.

Atalanta managed to surprise us last season by winning the Europa League trophy and surprisingly they were able to inflict first defeat for Leverkusen last season, but to be honest Atalanta achievement last season did not make them the top team and scudetto challengers in my opinion, because after all, so far they have only continued to be a team trying to end the season in the european competition zone.
What has happened to Atalanta this season is not surprising considering that many surprise teams also had a bad season after the previous season they were good in the league, two wins so far they have won from 6 games and I think we will probably see them continue to slump until the end of the season later.

What has happened to Atalanta this season is not surprising considering that many surprise teams also had a bad season after the previous season they were good in the league, two wins so far they have won from 6 games and I think we will probably see them continue to slump until the end of the season if remembering their poor performance and consistency right now.

Napoli and como are in pretty good form at the moment, especially Napoli who managed to continue to be on a positive path after they suffered their first defeat in the first week of Serie A this season, while como who was surprisingly able to win in their last two matches will of course face a difficult test to beat Napoli later, although this season como has made a lot of player transfers, but I think the quality of the team owned by Napoli is still much better  from como recruits this season, so we can't deny that Napoli has a very big chance to win that  the match.

The fact that Napoli currently have a very good and experienced coach isn't something i believe any one would want to doubt at this time but the fact that they will still need some time to be bale to get ahead and get their feet firm again on the ground is something that cannot be taken out of the way just like that. even if currently lukaku isnt doin bad at Napoli, i still don't regard him as a better replacement for osimhen because what osimhen achieved at Napoli is something lukaku is yet to achieve at Napoli yet so until the end of the season and his cumulative performance is seen i won't agree.

Osimhen's problem is only with the club because Osimhen no longer wants to play for Napoli and wants to immediately find a new club. Unfortunately he failed to find a new team that could sign him permanently. So he found a solution by being transferred to Galatasaray. Osimhen and Conte don't seem to have any problems. Because Conte did not play Osimhen because at that time Osimhen's status was uncertain, namely whether he would be released or not. And it's not good to play a player who no longer feels comfortable playing for the club. I respect Osimhen because his change in attitude towards the club is also quite justified. but yeah, sometimes these players also rate themselves too highly. So in the end he had to be loaned out. because Conte already has a mainstay player brought in in the transfer market, namely Lukaku, to replace Osimhen. And automatically makes Osimhen no longer needed.

And speaking of Osimhen, he had a little difficulty adapting when he first played at Galarasay. but now he has adapted well and has scored several goals for Galatasaray.
