Napoli can no longer be relied on like last season after Spalletti's departure. Even though this could be wrong, the departure of the coach who led them to become champions was felt in Napoli's game. They are not as solid as last season and in their games they are not as good as last season. This season they made a lot of mistakes that we didn't see last season. This season they don't have good consistency and that makes them achieve a lot of negative results in the matches they play.
The news that Osimhen will leave Napoli is news that has been heard for a long time, but it seems that this season it will become a reality.
Since Spalletti's departure, Napoli has had many coaches, it started with Rudi Garcia, then Walter Mazzarri, then Francesco Calzona[/color]. This is something difficult to see in any team. Even in the most demanding leagues and in cases of teams fighting to get out of relegation, I don't see them having 3 different coaches in a season. I keep asking myself why the Napoli management were so desperate this season to the point of hiring 3 coaches? This means that Napoli's management spent a lot of money terminating the contracts of the last two coaches, I'm talking about terminating the contracts with Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzarri. This is a huge financial loss that could have been avoided and the money could have been used to sign other good players. I wonder:
Was it worth having 3 coaches this season?
Even though they have 3 coaches this season, Napoli is in position number 8 and has little chance of finishing in at least 4th position. So was it the 3 coaches' fault or is Napoli's squad simply not good? The problem of having club directors who have not followed the evolution of their opponents is very serious. Last season Inter and Milan were very unstable, but they already showed signs of improvement in the last league games, that should have served as a signal for Napoli's management to also improve the squad and hire a coach with a good record of achievements in Serie A and coach who would be for the long term, and not someone who would win the title immediately. The greed for the immediate title blinded Napoli's directors who spent a lot of money on hiring coaches
Lazio played like a team who's about to be crowned champions and I could see Inter Milan in them as they played with so much flexibility and calmness when they're with the ball and I ask myself why are they not giving Inter Milan a tough time this season? If we have to use a particular game to judge teams I'd say Lazio are better than Napoli this season but is like whenever the Lazio side play against a smaller team they just take advantage of the fact that they're the bigger boys but you see tonight's performance, it was outstanding for the Lazio side.
Knowing that Lazio's opponent is a team from the relegation zone and that in the last 14 games they haven't won in any game, it honestly doesn't serve to measure Lazio's performance. salernitana conceded 4 goals when they played against inter and they couldn't even score at least 1 goal, they also conceded 6 goals when they played against juventus. They conceded 4 goals when they played against Cagliari. They recently conceded 3 goals when they played against Bologna and didn't score at least 1 goal. before playing against lazio, they played against sassuolo and conceded 2 goals. In my opinion, Salernitana is a team with a weak defense, and an extremely weak team and Lazio simply had the luck to play against an extremely weak team. This doesn't mean that Lazio is strong and that they play well in my opinion
playing against teams like atalanta, bologna, fiorentina, milan, udinese and roma, lazio lose against all the teams I mentioned and those were lazio's last games. something recent. unfortunately lazio is not like last season. It seems like they have the same problems as Napoli. I hope that next season they improve because they are a good team
