Napoli under Conte has changed a lot, Conte is also a coach who transmits a champion mentality to each of his players, he is indeed suitable to coach Napoli.

So far, Conte has again shown his quality with Napoli at the beginning of this season. In addition to bringing Napoli back to the top and currently in first place in the standings, Conte has also managed to polish the performance of a number of their star players such as Lukaku, Scott McTominay, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo who have again performed very impressively until now.

Especially for Mctominay, actually every club really needs a player like Mctominay to achieve victory. It's just a shame that Man United can't take advantage of a player like this. Although Mctominay is not the type of player who always dribbles the ball here and there, Mctominay has a goal-scoring instinct and Conte can take advantage of players like this. With the squad that Conte currently has, I think Napoli is indeed suitable to be one of the favorite teams to win the scudetto this season.

Osimhen had too many problems that he decided to be loaned to Galatasaray with various speculations. The dispute with the coach was the reason why he no longer felt comfortable playing for Napoli, although there were other reasons that could have influenced it. Lukaku's arrival changed everything where Osimhen began to be forgotten and maybe Conte preferred Lukaku to Osimhen so that he got a place in the team.

Conte's presence is expected to re-energize Napoli players and they managed to become the top of the standings. Conte has really made a big change for Napoli so far even though they experienced a defeat against Hellas Verona in the opening match in Serie-A if I'm not mistaken.

There is no need to link it to Osimhen about Conte's success at Napoli so far because basically Conte never included Osimhen in the team and that's why Osimhen left. So, if you still think Osimhen has an influence on Napoli it is a mistake, because since Conte was appointed to be the head coach of Napoli also that Osimhen was not involved in Conte's plans at Napoli. Thus, it is indeed a necessity for Conte to provide good results for Napoli because he has made changes to the Napoli squad.

Because after all, the changes Conte made at Napoli were quite big too. How not, Osimhen as a player who contributed greatly to Napoli at the time of his success in winning the Scudetto, but Conte confidently chose to bring Lukaku and ignore Osimhen. Thus, then of course a big responsibility really must be done by Conte to make Napoli better with the team that was built.

regardless of the dispute experienced by this player, indeed from the beginning OSimhen was not included in the strategy that Conte would implement, so he was not needed in the Conte era and finally Napoli loaned him. Actually this is quite a complicated thing experienced by Napoli and OSimhen, on the one hand Napoli does not want to release Osimhen at a low price, on the other hand Osimhen also wants to find a team that can pay him a lot. This is what ultimately became an obstacle to the release of Osimhen, because every negotiation ended in disagreement. Osimhen was quite lucky because in the end there was still Galatasaray who wanted to borrow him, because if he stayed at Napoli I'm sure he wouldn't get many playing minutes.

Unfortunately you are right, in Atalanta's case they are having a bad time.

Regarding Napoli's match against Como, unfortunately I don't see many alternatives for Como. Napoli is a strong team now with a real coach, the great Antonio Conte.
I am sure that Conte will be able to lead Napoli to victory in a difficult match.

Yes, true, I honestly didn't know that Como could give so much otherwise I wouldn't have bet so lightly on Atalanta's victory.
Now I will be more careful and cautious, even if I have to say some news in the championship is always nice, even if it makes me lose bets.
But is the football

Yep, it's the biggest match of Serie A this week. Recently, AC Milan has had an inconsistent performance, since the opening of the league, they have almost always gotten results that fans didn't expect. Due to the instability of their performance, I think BTTS (GG) is the best choice rather than betting on them, although the odds tend to be lower, but it's better than having to find our slip loses.


But after I checked the odds, I think choosing AC Milan is not bad either, even when they're away to Stadio Artemio Franchi, they're still the favorites in the bookies.

But from the result of their match, it does not seem that they will be in 10th position.  Well, if they have this position, it is good in terms of their performance.  This is the reason for his good performance and you must have seen that he has won a few matches in the beginning of the series and secured the first position.  But soon they will see him come down losing the match.  They have this chance now because they are busy and it will be easy for them to win the match.  If these teams start playing during the match, the performance of Conte, Como, Napoli cannot spoil anything.  When these teams are strong and their performance is 10 times stronger and better than them.  Napoli is a very quick and smart team which is why they don't find it so difficult to win matches and other teams who keep thinking about it and keep losing matches.

I'm not sure about AC Milan, the very tight time forced them to steal points at Fiorentina's home is not easy for AC Milan, Fiorentina really prepared this match well, of course, seeing the tight schedule played by AC Milan, Fiorentia will certainly take advantage of it to get full points, even though Fiorentina is far from the top 4 positions, but the ball game cannot be predicted easily, anything can happen, It seems that I will take the decision to place a bet on Fiorentina, because there are many factors for Fiorentina's victory in the match next week.

Osimhen has become a burden for the team lately, he fell out with De Laurentiis and later with Conte, who suspended him from training, so for discipline in the team they had to get rid of him. Lukaku has fit in very well, you can see that he is trying very hard, he likes working with Conte and that was their original goal to get him in the team. If Napoli, Inter and Juventus keep up the same pace until the end of the championship, maybe we will have something like competition in Serie A.

I am not surprised by what Conte is currently doing with Napoli, basically Conte is a very qualified coach and he is also very experienced especially in Serie A so it is only natural that Conte is currently successful in bringing changes to the Napoli team but what is a little surprising is that Conte's process is so fast, this is something that should be appreciated.

And for the players of course Conte has his own choices and it is clear that even without Osimhen's presence Napoli's performance can be even better and for Lukaku is indeed Conte's chosen player, he has worked together for a long time so they know each other better to carry out Conte's tactics.

Napoli play against Como home next time. What do you say about that? Don't you think the same as me like Napoli would win this one as well?

Como haven't started bad at all considering their quality level. They even beat Atalanta away recently. This makes me think about whether BTTS would also be a good option @1.90.    However I will still bet on Napoli win @1.47. I think it is more reliable when we take their current form into account. As they aren't in any European tournament this year, they won't be fatigued much either. They can easily focus on the league title.

I think the game of the week is Fiorentina - Milan.  



Milan are going to an away game a few days after their last Champions League game. Fiorentina players have more time to rest. This makes me question a probable win for Milan.    It might end up with a draw. Maybe BTTS @1.61 would be good?

Inter should be able to beat Torino, because if you look at the quality of the players, it is clear that Inter is superior to Torino. So if you look at it from that point of view, it is clear that Inter must be able to win if they compete against Torino. However, the problem is that we cannot underestimate Torini's current performance, because in several matches that Torino played in Serie A, the results could be said to be quite surprising. The reason is that Torino is always able to make things difficult for the big teams in Serie A. For example, Torino was able to draw with big teams like AC Milan and Torino was also able to beat Atalanta, who last season were able to become champions. UEL (UEFA). So with these facts, Inter clearly cannot underestimate Torino.

Even though it is true that Lazio was able to beat Torino, we need to remember that in that match Torino provided a very fierce defense against Lazio so that the match ended with a score of 3-2. Even in that match, Torino dominated possession of the ball over Lazio. So it is possible that in this match Torino was just a little careless when the first half started so Torino conceded in the 8th minute. Therefore, if for example Torino can focus optimally from the start of the match, I am sure Torino will definitely be able to hold Lazio to a draw in that match. For this reason, in the match against Torino, Inter must not be careless and must minimize all mistakes. The reason is that currently Torino is performing quite well. And in this match, I personally will just do BTTS, because I'm a little confused about choosing a team in this match.

Conte is also a very successful manager in my opinion. What he did with Napoli this year is not something to be underestimated. They currently have the Serie A leadership. They will also have important competitions in the Champions League in the coming years. As a manager, he has observed the team's deficiencies well and made transfers accordingly. Lukaku has been a very effective name for the team. Perhaps they have hired the most efficient forward they could. Despite Osimhen leaving, there is no negativity in the team. The effective offensive line from his time continues in the same way today under Conte's management.

Napoli on the 7th to 9th week have the opportunity to stay at the top of the standings because that week the strength of his opponents is under Napoli. Targeting 3 points in the match for Conte's squad I thought it was very possible to achieve, because on the 10th week of Napoli had to travel to the Milan headquarters which was a difficult opponent, but back football presenting a surprise travel would not be smooth according to plan.
However, I agree that Napoli have been consistent under Antonio Conte's care even though at the beginning of the performance season it is not as expected but now they are at the top, so hope Conte can maintain the consistency of his squad so that it will get closer to the Scudetto.

It would have been better if he had tried to win Osimhen, but of course they didn't do that. Right now, there are rumors that Osimhen will be transferred to Chelsea during the mid-season break. He is playing very well at Galatasaray for now. We see in the matches that he is a player much higher than the Turkish league. He is a player with great talent. He doesn't just score goals, he also makes assists. He could have done great things with Lukaku in Napoli, but now his story is over.

Conte is a very qualified coach, which is why he will certainly be able to do well in the league regarding Osimhen, let's say that Napoli has already forgotten him because there is a certain Lukaku who is scoring and doing very well for Napoli and this is why they are practically keeping him forgetting, they still need time to work but they can still make a clear improvement!

Napoli fans have forgotten Osimhen, from what has been shown by Napoli's current performance, it has proven that they no longer need Osimhen and even without him, Napoli's team performance can be even better.
Although it cannot be linked because Napoli's revival this season cannot be separated from the changes made by Conte, Osimhen will not be linked to Napoli anymore.

Conte only needs to maintain the consistency of the Napoli team and it is likely that they will be able to compete for the title this season and it must be admitted that Conte is quite successful and he is a very qualified coach.

Napoli is still quite consistent this week and there are still many weeks to go, at least Napoli distanced itself from defeat even though it was difficult but it has been very consistent in several matches, It is true that Conte has a positive impact in handling Serie A clubs, maybe Conte is the right person for Napoli, even so Napoli should not be too arrogant with his revival that it will bring him down later.

Football is not math and it does not work like math. Napoli can play well or bad with Osimhen, and we can not be sure about that. Because he left Napoli and they are playing well now, we believe they can play better if they have him to play together with Lukaku. But we ignore a fact that Osimhen and Lukaku are both traditional striker and they can conflict with each other if playing in a same squad.

Two strikers will struggle to support each other while a striker and a forward can play together more easily and comfortably.

They are playing well now and if they can maintain it till the half of season, they can actually join Scudetto competition with other clubs. Their performances are good now but they have a long season to complete, and many things can change in next 7 months. Napoli looks to be good enough to be in top four of Serie A when this season ends.
