Napoli have not fared as well as before after winning the Serie A title in 2022-23, most recently losing 3-0 to Torino and moving up to 9th place in Serie A, 20 points behind Inter.
What a blow this time! Napoli's journey to the Serie A title looks irretrievable. I just saw the video of their match against Turin and my heart was broken. Completely lost the sharpness and confidence of the past, and the performance on the pitch was simply regrettable.
You heard it right, 3-0! The game was like a slaughter in Serie A, Torino were mid-table in Serie A, but they were like a vampire to Napoli, sucking their blood and fighting spirit. The defeat dropped Napoli to ninth place in Serie A and a staggering 20 points behind leaders Inter Milan, meaning they had to miraculously catch up in the second half.
To make matters worse, this is already the third consecutive game in which the team has failed to win in Serie A. It looks like the team is in a slump with no way out. But that wasn't enough, they had players sent off for red cards in three games in a row. Such a performance is simply unacceptable and heartbreaking for the fans.
Did you know that this performance set several embarrassing records? The first is a winless streak, which has been a rare occurrence for the team in recent years. The second is the record of consecutive red cards, which is even more shocking! The team's discipline problem obviously needs to be solved urgently, otherwise it will bring more difficulties to the team.
As I write this, journalist Moralero also publishes a critical article accusing manager De Laurentiis of not acting in time. Moralero believes that in the face of such a poor performance, the manager should be more decisive in making adjustments and changing tactics in order to turn the tide. But for now, it seems that De Laurentiis has not found an effective solution to the problem.
This Serie A trip is indeed a huge challenge for Napoli. They need to urgently adjust their mindset and regain their confidence and fighting spirit in order to regain their strength in the second half of the season. Either way, the fans will continue to support them and believe that they can overcome the difficulties and get back on winning tracks.
