Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Iranus]

Looking at the schedule for the opening match of Serie A this week, there are no big matches in it. However, I am quite interested in multibeting on the matches of Frosinone vs Napoli, Lecce vs Lazio, and Bologna vs Milan. I think these are the safest 3 matches in the Serie A opener and the betting predictions are also 100% correct for the favorite team to win. Here it is clear that I will hold bets on the wins of Napoli, Lazio and Milan. If we look at the normal odds for the favorite team, it seems that they are good enough by getting a variety of odds from @1.39 to 2.09. Even though I have to wait up to 3 days to determine the result, I think it's okay while enjoying this opening match.

I was reflecting aloud on myself, many of us criticized a lot what Spalletti did with the non-renewed players
But the bookmakers give it very strongly, just look at the odds. Perhaps we have been excessively harsh in evaluating the work of Napoli. We will see.

Rudi Garcia will definitely be able to change everything and he will update players for Napoli considering that the transfer season is still ongoing and Rudi Garcia can use it to strengthen Napoli by taking and selling several players.
From when the match options mentioned by @rendravolt I also have my own predictions namely Napoli, Milan and Lazio will win easily enough.
But this is only a prediction, so there are still many mistakes that could occur because in every game there are bound to be surprises that you can't predict.

Rudi Garcia will make several changes within the team. And because of this, it is not certain that Napoli will perform well and win the title next season. Napoli's performance last season was excellent. We are not sure whether they will play well in the next season. There is also no guarantee that Rudi Garcia will succeed. Napoli will play against Sassuolo in the second match, and Lazio in the third match. These two opponents cannot be considered weak. And I doubt whether Napoli will win these two matches. But it looks like he will get an easy win in the first match. Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio and Juventus are also expected to win their first matches. These teams are quite strong and their opponents are relatively weak

[Furious 7]

Looking at his historical record, Rudi actually has a track record with a fairly large club because before Al Massa, there were still several names in Ligue 1 such as Marseille, Lille and Lyon and there was the name Roma who had been one of the clubs he had fostered even though it was a decade ago.

Being a replacement coach when the previous coach made an outstanding contribution last season will definitely be a tremendous pressure for Rudi Garcia at this time but with him having agreed a deal with Napoli then he is ready to accept the challenges including the pressure given and the club management.

Yeah, I still do not think that he is actually the best choice for a club that are currently defending Serie A title. it has been 12 years since he had won any titles. So I think it is definitely going to be a very hard job for him to actually successfully defend Napoli’s title. I truly have made out that he is not going to be able to do it. I thought as Napoli is looking to be a better team right now, they will probably find a better coach. I definitely think there were other options. And I definitely do not think that Rudi Garcia was the best option. I personally do not like this move from Napoli.

But anyway, Napoli is going to start the season with a very easy opponent. So I think it is going to be a positive start for Napoli and the coach.

Spalletti had previously delivered something that will not be forgotten as they finally won the Scudetto again which had not happened for a long time but his decision to take a break cannot be debated because it was an absolute decision from Spalletti and Napoli had to try with a new club.
Skepticism is very reasonable because with a new coach it will create a transitional condition for Napoli but it must also be passed as their process in navigating the season and indeed at this time it must be choice 2 when Napoli are successful again in maintaining their performance and titles then Rudi Garcia will be highly regarded by Serie A fans and Napoli also managed to break the previous curse where Serie A clubs are difficult to back to back in the scudetto but if their performance drops dramatically then the risk of criticism of Rudi Garcia will clearly be a certainty.

Looking at his historical record, Rudi actually has a track record with a fairly large club because before Al Massa, there were still several names in Ligue 1 such as Marseille, Lille and Lyon and there was the name Roma who had been one of the clubs he had fostered even though it was a decade ago.

Being a replacement coach when the previous coach made an outstanding contribution last season will definitely be a tremendous pressure for Rudi Garcia at this time but with him having agreed a deal with Napoli then he is ready to accept the challenges including the pressure given and the club management.

You can see it from two perspectives because does anyone really expect Garcia to do better in the Serie A than Spalletti? I don't think anyone believes that it is possible given how many points Napoli was able to gather. The goal is to defend the title and not to be as perfect as last season in the first place. But I am sure there is still some deeper disappointment on their minds about their ending in the Champions League, which was not deserved at all as they were the better team in both legs against AC Milan.

Such hope is still there but again I say that such skepticism is also something natural because with a new coach, the adaptation and scheme will also be new and may not go well for Napoli.
In the end, it has to be seen from how the performance will be because we are only speculating and it depends on the readiness of Rudi Garcia and Napoli whether they are finally able or not because if they are able then it is very good for them but if in the end they fail to perform well and instead have to experience bad luck then don't blame the critics about the decisions they made before.

Roma management  never build their squad by spending huge amounts of money. Mourinho knows this very well. That's why he kept Roma's attack unchanged. Roma will not be able to add star strikers to the squad by spending big amounts of money.  This is why mourinho wants to rely on Tammy abraham and dybala next season.

Roma's goal is not to win the title. They will be happy if they can perform consistently and qualify for the champions league. For this purpose, mourinho has been appointed as a coach by the team.  the team was not able to qualify for the champions league last season. However in the last few seasons, under mourinho, roma's performance has improved considerably. This season mourinho will aim for the europa  league title. I think we will see Roma in the europa league semi-finals.

I'm not too sure about how likely Roma are in Serie A not to win the title, actually I really believe that Roma which is one of the famous teams really wants to win the title every season. Roma don't have a big budget to make transfers, but they have to have a good way if they want to do it. I don't see Roma doing it this season even though they make money from transferring players to other teams.

Jose Mourinho relies on Dybala and Tammy Abraham not without reason, but Tammy Abraham didn't really have good statistics last season in his 38 appearances in Serie A. Paulo Dybala is more worthy of being defended and getting more chance to appear with Roma this season, that is because of its mesmerizing statistics. Paulo Dybala scored 12 goals and 6 assists in 25 appearances in Serie A with Roma, Dybala also has 5 goals and 1 assist in the Europa League in 11 appearances. Roma need players instead of just taking advantage of their old stock, it must be done so they can increase their chances of winning the title.

Roma's goal is not the Serie A title. I say this because there are many stronger clubs in Serie A than Roma. They spend a lot of money compared to roma, and form a strong squad. Serie a is very competitive. Inter Milan, juventus, Napoli and AC milan are all stronger than Roma.

There has been a positive change in Roma's  performance after mourinho became the coach . However roma's squad is not strong. If the Roma management had been able to prepare large funds for the purchase of players, perhaps mourinho would have been able to strengthen his squad. mourinho did not have the freedom to build his squad to his liking due to lack of money. If mourinho had been able to build the squad to his liking, this team might have been in contention for the title. abraham and dybala are quite good strikers . But they are not regular scorers. This is why roma teams overall performance is somewhat stable, but they cannot maintain the consistency of performance. they have weaknesses in attack. They have trouble scoring points against bigger teams.

If Roma and the all management have that mindset then I hope they never win any title as long as they don't want to change it. Just because Roma are not more qualified than Milan, Juventus, Inter, Napoli doesn't mean Roma don't hope to win titles. Roma shouldn't be a team that only completes 20 teams for the Serie A competition, that's kind of funny.

Swordsoffreedom, I hope Roma can be as competitive as other teams in Serie A. They must build their squad instead of relying solely on Mourinho's strategic skills. Roma is a team that has a good history in the past, but that is too long to be remembered. I hope that mindset changes in the future instead of only thinking about the business side.

It makes sense, the conditions you describe about AS Roma are very realistic. If Mourinho can get financial support, then they deserve to be on the favorites list. However, its status as a surprise team cannot be simply removed, because Mourinho factor is very influential in the Roma squad. If the transformation of several other top Serie A Clubs encounter various difficult situations, it is possible that Roma can take advantage of this opportunity.

The last time Roma won the Scudetto was in the 2000-2001 season, and the only Scudetto trophy won by Totti while still actively playing. The opening match will start today with Frosinone vs Napoli, it will be interesting to watch these two champions from different castes compete.

I really wonder what Juventus are going to do this season. Last season ended like a nightmare for them and they have been disqualified from European competitions right after that also. They can't be a part of the Europa Conference League this season due to that.

Being disqualified from conference league was nothing for juventus. Juventus was still performing so good last season despite some sanctions that were already received by juventus. In my opinion that if juventus will come back stronger this season.
Just ignore so many bad comments about the old lady. Old lady was still able staying at the second place last season without being sanctioned. Old lady has been preparing a lot of things.

On the other hand, this is also a risk that they have to bear because this is the aftermath of their own previous mistakes so they know that when the previous punishment exists it will definitely continue. The Conference League is indeed at the lowest level when looking at the comparison of the Champions League and Europa League even though it has no impact and does not mean too much but still it is quite unfortunate actually.
Currently there is nothing Juventus can do just have to try to come back from the beginning this season because that is the only way to restore their slumping condition, on the other hand this FFP penalty should be used as one of the warnings for them because they have experienced 2 similar cases in the past and the previous season they should have learned from this mistake.

I think, with the disqualification of Juventus from the Europa Conference League then of course, at least that might make Juventus become more focused on getting the Scudetto. So yes, even though there are penalties that Juventus must accept, but at least with these penalties it will also make Juventus have a good chance to consistently to get good results throughout this season in Serie A.

Also, at least the key Juventus players still have high loyalty to Juventus to stay and not leave, even though they are in demand by other big teams as well. Thus, of course, with the players owned by Juventus with such great loyalty, this will at least be a guarantee for Juventus to be strong at the top of the Serie A standings this season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

But I actually agree with @bering that jose mourinho will probably be able to unlock his full potential. And he will also get a good amount of playtime if he does end up going to Roma. But is it going to be worth the money?

Jose Mourinho can boost mentality of players a lot and strong loyal connections with his players. In season when Mourinho succeeds to build up such things, he got massive success with Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

We are witnessing similar success in Roma last two seasons even Mourinho has very limited transfer budget and player resource in two previous seasons.

That is one of the strengths that Jose Mourinho has as a coach. Mourinho can maximize the potential that exists in his players even though he actually needs a big budget to get better players. I sometimes like his style of play, but not often when he's totally defensive.

Roma have improved during Mourinho's time in charge, but still Mourinho expects Roma to put a lot of money into building a stronger squad. Roma can't compete in Europe if they don't have money, maybe even but it will take a long time and the hard work of every player. However, Roma have also managed to bring in several players to their squad this season such as Leandro Paredes, Renato Sanches, Evan Ndicka, Houssem Aouar and Rasmus Kristensen.

From a long time ago the expertise of coach Jose Mourinho has always been recognized by everyone that he has the expertise to improve the performance of clubs that are coached under any conditions and it doesn't matter what the condition of the players at that time is whether they have reliable players or not but Jose Mourinho is able to maximize the strength that AS Roma can have until now and even last season almost got the European league cup despite losing to Sevilla but at least it shows that Jose Mourinho still has the skills to increase his strength this season.
For me there is no doubt about this because even though there is a huge lack of funds to make transfers for popular players, Jose Mourinho has been able to do well with the players he currently has and I am pretty sure there will be an increase in performance at AS Roma this season.

For me there is no doubt about that, Mou is a coach who always puts a lot of Effort into the things he does , he has had a great commitment to Roma, in fact he has left other commitments behind for the same reason, at some point it was said that rejected the position of the Portugal team, there are many things that are said about him, as far as I am concerned, Roma have established themselves as one of the strongest teams in Serie A, and not only because of what they achieved in the Europa League, which Unfortunately Could not be crowned as the best, for me they were, they have a higher level than Sevilla, of course what I think , but fútbol won the one who Scores the goals.

Mou has been working with the Roma boys for a long time, especially he has given total confidence to a Dybala who is World Champion and who is very committed, this is what Mou achieves, he is great for me, the Series It's going to be more exciting this year, I know everyone is talking about the PL, but Serie A is going to resurface to become the No. 1 fútbol in Europe , that's the way they are Going.

Roma Probe Braga Star Amid Negotiation with Atalanta

Roma have added Abel Ruiz to the list of strikers they are eyeing, which is getting longer by the day. The negotiations to onboard Duvan Zapata and Marcos Leonardo are progressing very slowly.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Giallorossi had initial contacts with Sporting Braga to gather intel about the Spaniard. He has been with them since 2010 when he joined in a €8M move from Barcelona. He has logged 30 goals and 17 appearances with them. The 23-year-old has two caps with his national team.

Well, I'm not saying anything, Roma are looking for strikers, that means that Mou wants to aim for a more attack-focused football, perhaps Mou's strategy will be to leave Dybala in the middle of the field so that he can put together good plays and have a winger that goes to all the balls and also captures to see if he can score a goal, of course it would be good to arrive with 3 wingers on the right, left and center, also that the formation that the Mou has can play with it, putting it however he wants, well He has good options to be able to play them as he wants, for me it's fine if he wants to incorporate more forwards, a team that by nature is merely defensive, if he changes to being a little more towards attack, it's not bad at all, I like that vision, I hope That they can have that formation that I say, because Roma need to risk more, I know that the defense is impeccable, but the attack is what wins games, although I would look for another striker, maybe a little younger to run further.

I really wonder what Juventus are going to do this season. Last season ended like a nightmare for them and they have been disqualified from European competitions right after that also. They can't be a part of the Europa Conference League this season due to that.

Being disqualified from conference league was nothing for juventus. Juventus was still performing so good last season despite some sanctions that were already received by juventus. In my opinion that if juventus will come back stronger this season.

Thus, of course, with the players owned by Juventus with such great loyalty, this will at least be a guarantee for Juventus to be strong at the top of the Serie A standings this season.

Well, it is a fact that now Juve will have all the strength to concentrate on the team, and it will be quite a feat if they do so, I have never been a fan of a team being penalized due to the mistake of its executives and club owners, it is something that the players are not to blame, sometimes the laws that apply in the game are extreme and the truth is that nothing is learned, the ones who suffer here are the players, who have nothing to do with it, in retrospect I am inclined to think What is Juve a team that can get ahead, that they only sanctioned us last season, now with this, what's next? that they eliminate Juve, I think that is what is missing, for me the sanctions are more for wanting to take revenge on some people, or for political actions that seem somewhat low to me, that is why in the football sense they should focus on winning and showing that they no sanction is opr over football..

These teams are quite strong and their opponents are relatively weak

Agree, the changes that Rudi Garcia will make, most likely it will not make Napoli look good again like the previous season when it was led by Spalletti. If Napoli can't win against Sasuolo or Lazio, then surely they won't be able to win the Scudetto again, because we still have Inter, Ac Milan, Juventus, Roma, and there are lots of tough teams in Serie A which will likely make it difficult for Napoli to collect points.

[Bobrox]

I don't huge expected with AS Roma for winning Scudetto in this season after seeing current transfer activities, AS Roma is the Serie A team with the smallest spending in the transfer market in this summer although left few days later before window closing still not have any news signs. AS Roma spent 1 million euro as fees for get Renato Sanches from PSG with loan and have option clause for permanent if players success get appearance 60% in this season.

Last signing Leandro Paredes have success become AS Roma player for this season, its replacing for position leaving by Nemanja Matic and Roma not spent more expensive fees transfer for signing PSG players. AS Roma management seems difficult for spending much money to sign several star player, too expected target winning Scudetto next season based on current squad have by Roma.

I also think Napoli will face serious problems this season. The change of coach will definitely affect the team's game. Last season Napoli had no competition from the very beginning. This season after the changes, the competition will be from the first matches. Competitors like Milan, Inter, Juventus and Lazio have improved in the summer transfers.

Maybe you are right, but your concern may also be wrong. Napoli is no longer coached by Luciano Spalletti, who managed to present the Scudetto last season. I also have doubts about the current coach, that's because I don't see anything special in Rudi Garcia.

But whatever it is, Napoli still has quality players to perform well this season. They haven't sold many players apart from Min-jae Kim and Petagna, while Napoli have at least 4 newcomers in their squad. Rudi Garcia is very enthusiastic about his first match in Serie A, but I think he can win it considering that Frosinone are not a strong team.

[Slow death]

I really wonder what Juventus are going to do this season. Last season ended like a nightmare for them and they have been disqualified from European competitions right after that also. They can't be a part of the Europa Conference League this season due to that.

Allegri is still keeping his job but Juventus might lose their patience about him if not much thing changes this season too.

On the other hand they haven't made new signings much. I hope they don't have any problems with their midfield due to injuries especially.

honestly i can't understand what's going on with juventus, they just stopped in time, they don't make any big signings, it looks like they don't want to spend money but expect to get good results with the same squad every season in recent times, o di maria he was at juventus, but strangely the juventus coach didn't always put di maria playing from the beginning of the game even when di maria wasn't injured, the sad part about it is that when di maria played it was visible that he contributed a lot to the team, but as di maria didn't play regularly he preferred to move to benfica in portugal and playing at banfica di maria is scoring goals and playing at the beginning of games

then I realized that the problem was not di maria's lack of performance, the problem is with the juventus coach, there are many players who have left juventus and that in my opinion the juventus management could have offered something for them to stay longer in the team , today Juventus is a team that I don't know what they want to achieve in Serie A, their squad is not that great, but the coach of Juventus, despite not being able to make the team play beautifully, he prefers to strengthen the defense and with that strategy he has been able to win the games, anyway, I don't know if that will be enough for this season for juventus to win the serie A


tomorrow the games start, napoli will play against the recently promoted to serie A, I'm talking about Frosinoni who will come to this game to win since they play at home and against the champion of last season if they win in this game they will be more motivated for the next games and it would be a great joy for their fans, while napoli will play with their new coach so things won't be like last season, at least that's what i see on paper, but that can be changed on the pitch, so this will be a game to see how far the difference in napoli's performance will be with this current coach. also tomorrow we have inter's game against monza, it will be a little complicated game for inter, because monza caused headaches last season, we'll see if inter can win this game

There is good reason to have doubts but regarding what? That Rudi Garcia is a bad coach altogether or that he will not achieve what Spalletti achieved? Because it is important to be exact here. Who did believe that Spalletti would play an astounding season like the last one with Napoli before the season actually started? Nobody thought that Napoli would cut through the season like a hot knife cuts through butter. But this makes it so hard for Garcia to copy the success. It is already hard to get close to it as the Serie A teams are quite even in the quality of their teams.

Napoli's plans for this season will definitely not go smoothly, a change of coach will be a serious problem because there will be several tactical changes that will be made, even though Napoli are still occupied by almost all players last season, it will not make them appear solid again. Apart from that, the teams in Serie A have also started to improve and I am sure this season will be very competitive, but what is clear is that I am starting to be pessimistic about Napoli's chances of defending the Scudetto.

The new coach is my consideration too, if not for that, the club is almost the same as the way it was in the last season, those few adjustments made can't change so much and we all know that Napoli will not be wasting money on big moves.

Yes, having a new coach is also a challenge for Napoli this season. Because, even though Rudi Garcia is considered to have the type of training and tactics as Spalletti, this is still different. Training is not only during preparation but on the field, how can the new trainer manage his team, can make sudden decisions on the field, and how can he manage his team properly when playing live. This requires excellent skills. the hope, Garcia really could do better. So at least Napoli won't drop so much and moreover be able to survive and play very well like in the previous season. Because after all, other clubs in Serie A this season are quite different, they have started to rearrange their clubs to be even more solid and good, surpassing last season of course.

[coinlocket$]

Spalletti who left Napoli as the winner of Serie A it is now officially the coach of Italy.
Funny to say but the official reason why he left was "I want a break and I want to stay with my family more".

After 2 months he is already coaching back again.


Napoli is still one of the favorite for the final win with Inter.

Undoubtedly, it was because of Luciano Spalletti's incredible work at Napoli last year that made them win the Italian Serie A title and that's why many fans of the Italian club were not happy with the news of his departure from the club.
That being said, we mustn't write off Rudi Garcia's managerial abilities because I believe that he has the technical capacity to turn things around at Napoli. We keep our fingers crossed and see how the defending champions will perform in the new season

Because the team's coach has changed, I don't believe Napoli will experience any difficulties this season. The new coach may even be superior to the departing coach, so we shouldn't make assumptions about him just yet. Instead, we should wait until the season has begun to determine whether or not he is a good coach. Additionally, the fault does not always lie with the coach of a team. Take Chelsea as an example. Throughout the course of the previous season, the Blues struggled to play well, and many believed that the coach was to blame. This led Chelsea to change coaches, and even the most recent one, Lampard, was unpopular with some fans. However, after selling some players and adding new, quality players, the team's performance improved.

Napoli can change the coach to ensure that the team performs well, and if not, the coach will be held accountable. However, in my opinion, the fault may not lie with the coach, so let's not assume that Napoli will experience any problems because the team still has some solid players, nothing has changed with the team, and they haven't sold many players despite knowing that a new lineup wouldn't be as effective as the old one. Instead, let's assume that Napoli will continue to add players.

I was reflecting aloud on myself, many of us criticized a lot what Spalletti did with the non-renewed players
But the bookmakers give it very strongly, just look at the odds. Perhaps we have been excessively harsh in evaluating the work of Napoli. We will see.

Rudi Garcia will definitely be able to change everything and he will update players for Napoli considering that the transfer season is still ongoing and Rudi Garcia can use it to strengthen Napoli by taking and selling several players.
From when the match options mentioned by @rendravolt I also have my own predictions namely Napoli, Milan and Lazio will win easily enough.
But this is only a prediction, so there are still many mistakes that could occur because in every game there are bound to be surprises that you can't predict.

Rudi Garcia will make several changes within the team. And because of this, it is not certain that Napoli will perform well and win the title next season. Napoli's performance last season was excellent. We are not sure whether they will play well in the next season. There is also no guarantee that Rudi Garcia will succeed. Napoli will play against Sassuolo in the second match, and Lazio in the third match. These two opponents cannot be considered weak. And I doubt whether Napoli will win these two matches. But it looks like he will get an easy win in the first match. Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio and Juventus are also expected to win their first matches. These teams are quite strong and their opponents are relatively weak

Agree, the changes that Rudi Garcia will make, most likely it will not make Napoli look good again like the previous season when it was led by Spalletti. If Napoli can't win against Sasuolo or Lazio, then surely they won't be able to win the Scudetto again, because we still have Inter, Ac Milan, Juventus, Roma, and there are lots of tough teams in Serie A which will likely make it difficult for Napoli to collect points.

But that is the same for every team in that competition. With the start of the Serie A tomorrow I think we will get some valuable information in terms of the shape of the various teams. There are some more interesting and some less interesting games of course, but I can see that there is already some pressure for Garcia to not mess up the early phase of the new season. It wouldn't be a disaster right away, but people will measure his performance in relation to what Spalletti left behind of course. They only lost one key player, which means that there are also no excuses in terms of transfers that could have weakened the team to a degree that good performances are less likely now.

Maybe you are right, but your concern may also be wrong. Napoli is no longer coached by Luciano Spalletti, who managed to present the Scudetto last season. I also have doubts about the current coach, that's because I don't see anything special in Rudi Garcia.

Yes, Napoli's performance may not be the same as before. moreover they have a new coach. however, this might be different, especially regarding the tactics used and taken during the match. It was not easy for Garcia to bring Napoli to win Serie A like last season. It will be a serious challenge for him to bring Napoli to the way it used to be, at least he is expected to be as successful as Spalletti, but it will be very difficult. The expectations are the same, but maybe they will be different. So, however, Serie A, it might still be a mystery who will be the winner. Other clubs are also currently struggling to be better than the previous season. So, maybe there will be some performance surprises from other clubs.

Because the team's coach has changed, I don't believe Napoli will experience any difficulties this season. The new coach may even be superior to the departing coach, so we shouldn't make assumptions about him just yet. Instead, we should wait until the season has begun to determine whether or not he is a good coach. Additionally, the fault does not always lie with the coach of a team.

Napoli suddenly won Scudetto in the past season so surely they will have difficulty to defend it in this season. Even they have same squad and same coach, it's very hard to protect their Scudetto but in reality they have a weaker team and a new coach.

I don't underestimate Rudi Garcia as he understands and is familiar with Serie A after having some years there with AS Roma in the past and he is actually a good coach. However, protecting Scudetto title with competition and challenge from AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and AS Roma perhaps, will not be easy for him and Napoli.

Undoubtedly, it was because of Luciano Spalletti's incredible work at Napoli last year that made them win the Italian Serie A title and that's why many fans of the Italian club were not happy with the news of his departure from the club.

Spalleti helped Napoli to win Scudetto after more than 30 years but the club President wanted more, Champions League trophy in the past season. Napoli actually played so good in Champions League and media considered Napoli as one of best candidates to win Champions League. But see, it is unfair to sack Spaletti because they lost against AC Milan and had to stop at quarter finals.

They should appreciate all great things which were done by Spaletti to beat many clubs in Serie A to win Scudetto and even just quarter finals, it is an impressive performance of Napoli which are all more than their expectation when the past season began.
