In the end, Napoli managed to secure 3 points from this match. However, they scored the second goal of the match in injury time. Salernitana's players played very well. I call Salernitana's performance good because this is the kind of performance expected from this team. I don't expect Salernitana to win against Napoli. My prediction was that Salernitana will play defensive and try to get 1 point against Napoli. Salernitana's defense was very strong in this match. Napoli players tried hard to score. But the match was a 1-1 draw till 90 minutes.
Initially when Salernitana scored first I thought it was clear Napoli would not be able to win. But at the same time, if they continue like this, the opportunity to drop to the bottom position will open up more and more opportunities for Napoli. Luckily, Politano managed to return the previous goal for a draw in the first half. From here we can see that Napoli cannot be relied on and they don't seem to have a way to win for sure even against weak teams.
I am quite pessimistic about Napoli's performance and they will only be able to make a comeback when the referee wants to blow the long whistle and that's when they can finally secure additional full points at home. Rrahmani was a hero for Napoli in this match and even though this was the desired result, I don't think they should be like this again because it would be very dangerous for them to lose full points. Salernitana played very well and this is what other weak teams need if they want to stay in Serie A and I hope Salernitana can be lucky enough next time.
Napoli had difficulty securing full points even though the opponent they faced was a club at the bottom of the standings, namely Salernitana. Many suspect the reason is because Osimhen is absent due to injury, but in my opinion Mazzarri has not found an effective strategy for Napoli, so their current performance is not very promising, even though in the end they managed to secure 3 points. The additional points make Napoli move up to 6th place in the standings, but Atalanta, Lazio and Roma, who will play tomorrow match, have the opportunity to shift Napoli position.
I think Mazzarri appointment as Rudi Garcia successor does not bring fresh air, if compared with Garcia short period I think Mazzarri is still worse. Luckily, Napoli were able to beat Salernitana, thereby easing a little pressure on the manager. I'm not sure Napoli can finish in the top four of the Serie A standings, besides that in the upcoming match we will see whether Napoli can beat Fiorentina in the Semifinals of the Italian Super Cup.
