Salernitana isn't one of the best performing teams in the Italian Serie A this season but their Italian Serie A game yesterday against Juventus, they really played well in that game and would've won either win the game or at least get a point from the had their midfield player Maggiore did receive a red card in that very match. And despite playing most of the second half of that game with 10-man, Salernitana still held on till the end of normal time. It took Vlahovic's stoppage time goal to seal victory for Juventus in that very important game.

That being said, we must not feign ignorance to the fact that Juventus have been immensely impressive this season in the Italian league and are doing everything possible to make sure to overtake Inter Milan in the league table. The Old Ladies doesn't even look like a team who's gonna give up on their chase any time soon but one thing that's very sure if you ask me is that they'll have to remain this consistent to overtake Inter Milan because the Italian league leaders are also determined to remain at the top of the league table and win the title at the end of the season.

Do you know that almost all clubs work with understatements during the season for as long as they can and it is still credible and authentic?

Juventus Turin doesn't gain anything if they now announce that their plan is to win the Scudetto. There is no point in shouting out loud what they ambitions are. But if a team has 46 points after the first half of the season, do you really think that they are not internally talking about the title or at least thinking about it?

I am sure that the players know what this season is all about. The Champions League qualification is safe one goal for them, but the Scudetto is what they really want.

Napoli's performance was truly disappointing. They lost 3 times, drew once and only won once from the last five matches. Currently they are ranked 9th in the league. This is a really bad result for the defending champions. I think they will have no chance of qualifying for the champions league next season. They are also 4 points behind Bologna in fifth place in the standings and I think it will also be difficult for them to qualify for the European league next season. I think those who bet that Napoli will win the title this season should give up their money to the bookie.

I think Napoli's chances are closed to compete for Champions League tickets next season from Serie A tickets. The only way is maybe they have to win the Champions League, which I think is very difficult with their current performance.
Last season's Serie A champions finally had to struggle to defend their title. This season's Serie A competition will belong to Inter and Juventus. and there will be no other teams to interfere.

Yes indeed, even though Napoli is in 9th position with a difference of 5 points to Fiorentina who is currently in 4th position, but at least Napoli still has a chance to recover . But yes, an important note is that Napoli must succeed in becoming more consistent in every match by getting points. But yes, if for example Napoli fails to be consistent then of course, it will still be difficult for Napoli to return to the top four.

With a collapse like this, I might wonder whether Napoli will plan to look for a new coach or not because yes, I personally am not very sure about Mazzarri quality. Therefore, if for example Napoli keeps Mazzarri until the season ends, then it seems very likely that Napoli will only finish in the middle of the standings.

Napoli's recent change in form is very discouraging, and if they continue in this manner, things will not go well for them. I understand that they are still in the Champions League and would prefer not to be eliminated now. But, by all indications, they won't make it to the Champions League final, and if they don't do well in the league, they won't qualify for the Champions League next season either.

They have been on a break in the champions league, and I expected them to perform well in Serie A and try to accumulate plenty of points before the champions league resumed, but their poor form has continued, and their hopes of qualifying for the champions league next season are fading. This is bad for them and they need to get back to winning as soon as possible.

Kvaratskhelia already had a contract running until 2027 but it is really possible for him to leave in the future to play bigger at other top teams. I would have expected this approach from Osimhen especially. I thought he would wait until this summer before making a contract extension with Napoli. Because he could have joined another big team in case of having a poor season.

But instead Osimhen chose to extend his contract by one more year which is until 2026 now. Besides they say there is a release clause on it as well but I don't know how much is needed to buy it out. Every source writes a different number. 

Salernitana scored twice in the game they have played in the two games that they've played within the past few days. Juventus did well to come back and win, that's how a big team should play.
They're very consistent so far, they have been the only club chasing Inter Milan this season, when the Champions League Competition begins once again they may like drop off if they don't play well
If not for that late penalty miss, Juventus then should have taken the lead or they'll be currently at the same points on the Seria A Standing. They want to qualify for the champions league not win the league so they said.

Roma match against Atalanta which ended in a draw was quite fair for both of them, and Mourinho getting a red card is a characteristic that is very difficult to change. There was previous speculation that Mourinho often used the red card trick to avoid his meetings with Inter. apart from that, The two clubs ambitions to get close to the top four in the standings had to be postponed. previously I had a tendency that Roma would win this match, But Atalanta managed to put up an interesting fight.

It is recorded that Mourinho has received 5 red cards in two seasons, perhaps they will receive another warning after not a single Roma representative commented to the media crew after the match. in the future Roma will welcome the arrival of Milan, without The Special One the match will be tough for their players.


Currently Roma is in 8th place with 29 points, while Atalanta is slightly better and is in 6th place with 30 points. breaking into the top four of the standings is still quite open, but it looks like Roma will lose points when facing the rossoneri.

So far they did a good job in games where they had to come back when they were one goal down, but allowing the other team to take the lead most of the time can be quite taxing physically and mentally. So on the one hand I agree that there defense is solid because it is this one goal and then they can rely on their defense to not concede any more goals than that, but the goal should be to keep a clean sheet and become even more clinical to ensure that one goal is enough to get the three points.

Now this is of course criticism on a high level, but when I see how Inter Milan is doing at the moment, I think despite their consistent performances Juventus Turin knows that it will be very difficult to claim the top in the Serie A for as long as Inter Milan keeps performing like that.

But this Juventus team is really solid in defense. This Juventus team is doing really well, not losing any of their last 15 games in all competitions. They came back to win against Salernitana with a 2-1 scoreline in the last minute. Yes that last-minute goal is significant, with Dušan Vlahović scoring the crucial and winning goals for Juventus.

You could say Juventus were lucky even though it was the favorite team, what I watched was that after the red card Salernitana Juventus players could open up opportunities to score goals, I think if this does not happen then the result could be a draw will not win, but we never know but Juventus' chances of winning exist after Salernitana players lose one player.

Those are high odds who takes those chances? And it is certain that Juventus turned their game around in the second half enough to pressure Salernitana, only to benefit from the red card.

Roma and Atalanta only played a draw for 90 minutes and this was a very decent result for both teams considering that both of them were equally favored to win. I think sharing 1 point makes more sense than losing points altogether, but yes, every team definitely wants the full 3 points in each match. Here, Roma as the hosts had quite a difficult time facing Atalanta, especially considering that they conceded first to Atalanta, so Jose Mourinho's troops had to fight hard to equalize.

As a result, through a penalty kick from Dybala, Roma were only able to equalize in the first half to make it 1-1. However, seeing that the second half had a very long period of time, the result was that both teams were unable to get ahead of each other and were forced to not increase their advantage in the second half. What's worse is that Mourinho had to be sent off from the field at the end of the match and it looks like in the next match he won't be able to accompany his squad in the next match because of this punishment.

I don't know if you can say that Juventus were lucky that Salernitana got a red card and only after that Juventus could score two goals... But Salernitana played well in the first half... Although bookmakers gave odds for Juventus to win 3.4 after the first goal... So there were still expectations that Juventus would win this match...

I don't think it's about underestimating, I don't see Juve doing something like that, because Juve in particular is one of the teams that have always shown to have a lot of value above all, they have gone through very bad times, where they have basically been banned almost everywhere. The truck driver, UEFA and Serie A have given them a hard time, so now Juve has to Secure their position so that next season they can secure their place in the UCL and be a defending champion as is Appropriate given the fact that I talked a lot about Juve and the team they are playing, which is very good, because that doesn't mean that I look at the other Teams as if they were less than them, or that they have very winning thoughts , you Might ask that They are very optimistic, but it is very different that they are triumphalist and that they are based on those assumptions to determine that they will always win than that they will win because that is how it is , not for nothing.

I think that now they See Juve with different eyes because it is a team that integrates very well. They are still looking to be in the top position as long as no team comes to try to remove them. I am sure that it can be done that way, because oh well, when we are Seeing any attitude of a Juve player is something that they publish, they make him look bad, and everything possible that is bad, I don't know why sometimes they take those attitudes especially the press, sometimes I think that this topic as it was launched And in the middle , a Performance that Juve's team demonstrates and can continue to demonstrate that they are the best, because nothing to do is a great reason, in fact now Juve always looks for a way to take care of anything their players do , And of them as a team, because they feel that they are the perfect target for UEFA and Serie A to really sanction them. I don't know how they let them play in this Championship, but to be honest, how hard they have been at this team, I would think that they want it to be closed, which seems very Bad to me.

Well, at least things can turn out for the better for the team. Personally, I have always seen that Napoli has had a somewhat slow development and not at all good, as was demonstrated last season. I also stick to thinking that what Napoli has done What happened was pure luck, and in this case things can be very decisive in being able to do something, of course we have the power despite JUVE because they took away 14 points , and even so, wouldn't that be called luck? The path was very easy for them, and you could also say that I'm more inclined to think about that because at UCL they didn't do anything, they were totally connected to doing things that way, so that makes me kind of angry, because There are teams that did fight a lot and I'm sure they could have done a good job, at least ranked higher in the UCL, but well, that's how things happened and that takes away the excitement of this, plus what Napoli represented at that time elite Football in Italy, and no, it is a shame, however now we are seeing a great emergence in teams like Juve , Roma , they are teams that have always excelled without ceasing.

In this case we could think that they can do different things , we have many ways of thinking that now Italian Football is going for the better, there is great competition with Juve and Inter, this is something that I like a lot, Well , it's been a While since I've seen so much Emotion and so much dedication on the part of the teams these days to win their Serie A, of course Inter's performance doesn't surprise me because it's one of the best in the world, now with all this I'm also intrigued by what I can do Mou , because I really would like to see Roma in the first 4 places, because it is their team that I see enough strength, that I see desire but they haven't had much luck , and I think that's always the case,You need to have a bit of Luck.

Boost for Allegri as two Juventus stars set to return for Coppa Italia quarter-final

It was a big mistake to let Spalletti go, that was clear from the very beginning, but to put Garcia in his place was an even bigger mistake. Under Garcia, conflicts began in the team, perhaps this is the worst thing that can happen when the negativity comes from within. Spalletti's charisma made it possible to maintain discipline in the team and he was respected by the players. Osimhen was able to open up under the leadership of Spalletti, and when he had a conflict with Garcia, his play deteriorated significantly and he even had an injury, although this may be a coincidence, but it was all on his nerves.

Now Napoli is in ninth place in the standings with a distance of five points from the teams in the top four standings. And in general, it is still quite possible for Napoli to catch up if in the next few matches they no longer lose like they experienced in the previous few matches. Because to be able to qualify for the Champions League you have to win more so you can get more points and compete with rivals in the top four zones.

Apparently Spaletti was indeed extremely important for the club, in many ways it was with him that Napoli's championship was attributed. Although it is possible to understand Spalletti, after all, he left not for the sake of money in the Saudi League, but began to coach his national team and perhaps he will be able to win the European Championship with it.
The choice of Garcia after Spalletti was extremely unsuccessful and weakened the team even more and now Napoli will have to play without Osimhen, who left for the African Cup.

All in all, Napoli are going through a difficult time. 

I'v always known that changing coach at that time he was changed in Napoli will definitely get to be an issue for them but then it did sounded like it was the best thing for them at that point since it was looking like spalletti was almost loosing control of the team after helping them win the league last season.

In a matter of time when they probably get used to the new coach Napoli may likely get back to their feet and again dominate the serie A as they did last season but I don't see them doing that this season, maybe bit will take them some few times and they will be able to fix that and get on their feet again probably by next season but now they should just try to seeing if it's possible they will be able to make it to the top four and then they can say they ended the season on a fair note in the serie A this season.

Napoli has fallen to 9th place in the Serie A standings right now and yes, obviously this is a very bad result for Napoli because it fell too far from the top four positions. Also, the 3-0 defeat by Torino in their last match is also clearly, a very bad defeat for Napoli at this moment. Therefore, of course, disappointment will definitely occur and be experienced because under the current new coach Napoli actually got worse results.

With results like this too, I personally only regret Napoli's decision to fire Garcia because anyway, with Garcia at least Napoli can still compete in the top zone or at least in the top five positions. But now, Napoli really fell because they appointed a coach who did not have good quality to compete in this era.
