Empoli stunned everyone by winning 1-0 against a top-tier team like Napoli. This was the one of the reason the Parthenopeans president, Aurelio de Laurentiis and the board relieved Rudi Garcia from his position as headcoach. No one expected Empoli to win because they are fighting to avoid relegation this season. due to the fact that no team is impenetrable in tournaments, all teams will lose. They can strive equally challenging as they can to balance the scores and hit higher than expected, but they can still complete an unbeaten streak.
Honestly and with all the sincerity of which I am capable, I would never have bet a euro on Empoli. Not only is the difference in strength of the roster of players different and not comparable, but also the difference in club, coach and management. They are really two teams of different sizes, it`s like David defeating Goliath.
But strangely, Napoli actually appointed Walter Mazzarri as a replacement for Rudi Garcia, and I don't think Walter Mazzarri has a good record as a head coach. Because after all, the fact is that the last team for Walter Mazzarri as head coach was Cagliari, and Walter Mazzarri also did not last long there maybe the bad results he experienced. Although indeed, it seems that Walter Mazzarri is also not new to Napoli, because in the past the fact that Walter Mazzarri had become Napoli head coach in the 2009 to 2013 season, and during that period Walter Mazzarri managed to improve Napoli performance by successfully finishing in a better position in each season. But ya, although Walter Mazzarri has good experience at Napoli in the past, but I think at this moment it is still not easy for Walter Mazzarri to provide fast and good results for Napoli, but let's wait.
I honestly don't believe that Walter Mazzarri can solve Napoli's problems in the short term, every time a team changes coach it is heavily affected, sometimes positively, sometimes negatively, Napoli have changed 2 coaches in 6 months and this will certainly influence performances on the pitch but we have to give time and trust to Mazzarri because he is not in a good context, it is not easy to inherit a team that is champion of Italy but has been destroyed in its soul by the previous coach.
One of my betslips lost just because of Napoli and I will have second thoughts before betting on them next time. The Empoli game must have made so many bettors lose also. Anyway honestly I would like to see Napoli doing better than this.
Plus they won the Serie A title with Inter as well in the 2020/2021 season. It is like he really belongs with this league and top teams of it. But he has never managed Napoli before. Because of that I can't be sure of anything about the result of it.
honestly, I didn't even expect Napoli to lose at home against a team fighting not to be relegated like Empoli, but small teams are often bad I'm joking, I'll go back to saying that Napoli would do very well if they fired their coach, the game proposed is often among the poorest in Europe and Napoli had accustomed us to something else. As for Milan, I don't know what to say, they start well matches but then disappears from the field and in the last four Serie A matches they have achieved 2 draws and 2 defeats, only 2 points are too few and they were lucky to still be third in Serie A
