What is the top of the Serie A list this season? At a glance, it is not milan two males, nor the "old woman" Juventus, nor the "blue eagle" Lazio, Mourinho's "red wolf" Roma, but Napoli, which lost the Champions League qualification in the last game last season! What is even more frightening is that Napoli started this season with a total of 8 wins, scoring 19 goals and conceding only 3 goals, which can be described as a passionate attack on the offensive end and a stable defensive end. So, let's look at how well the Napoli started with eight straight wins and see what positive changes the new coach Spalletti has brought to the team.
As of the eighth round, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio and Atalanta, who are second to sixth in the Serie A table, have not been matched against Napoli. Although they beat Juventus in the third round, juventus this season's problem is quite tricky and they are no longer competitive in the top four, so this victory is not convincing. In the next round of Serie A, Napoli will face Mourinho's Roma away, and Spalletti will also face his old club, this game may be the best test of Napoli's real strength at present - I believe that if Napoli can easily cross the Mourinho barrier away, then as long as they do not suffer a large-scale injury blow, this season will inevitably have the strength to compete for the title.
The transformation of Napoli this season is inseparable from the positive energy that Spalletti has injected into the players. Compared to the conservative and repressive style of his predecessor Gattuso, Spalletti's football philosophy is very unrestrained, just as passionate as he is on the sidelines. Spalletti knows how to help players improve their confidence, this season a number of Napoli players have also found themselves under Spalletti or rejuvenated the second spring, Colombia international Goal ospina dream back to the peak of 14 years, Koulibaly also found the "billion dollar center-back" should be in the state and level, known as Napoli's most water reinforcement Osmayne, this season has scored 8 goals for the team!
In terms of generations, Spalletti is already a veritable "old coach", but Spalletti's techniques and tactics are not only not old, but also quite fashionable. Spalletti's Napoli has no so-called offensive strength, whether it is Osmayne, who has been transformed this season, or Italy international Insigne, Mexican attacker Lozano, will adapt to the situation to become the strong point of a certain offensive link, and will not deliberately send the ball to the feet of a player, which will also make it difficult for the opponent's defense to make targeted arrangements, and can only be led by Spalletti's nose.
So far this season, Napoli have scored 10 goals, including Central Defenders Koulibaly and Rachmani, who have each scored two goals on set-pieces, thanks to Spalletti's experience as a veteran. A very important offensive weapon for Napoli this season is the set-piece! Spalletti took the set-piece opportunity to the extreme, eager to arrange all the high points on the field, not even a corner opportunity to miss. Thanks to the efficiency of the set-piece attack, Napoli was able to reverse the score in the matches against Juventus and Fiorentina.
However, compared with the eight consecutive wins in Serie A, Napoli has not been able to win their first victory in the Europa League this season, which is more embarrassing. Mario Rui was sent off with a red card in the last round against Sparta Moscow and will be absent from Manolas in this round. But fortunately, napoli's opponents in this round are the Warsaw Legion, which has played very poorly in the Polish Super League this season, and after the core frontcourt kapusterka was seriously injured, the warsaw legion's offensive end was in chaos, and this season they even had relegation pressure in the league, and they had no intention of competing with Napoli in European competition. The threshold for Napoli in this game is as high as two goals, which is enough to prove the huge advantage of Napoli in this game. Therefore, I believe that Napoli, which can play in the front court attackers, can win the Warsaw Legion at home and win the first victory of the Europa League this season.
