The recent Serie A matches have really made me a football fan feel up and down. Honestly, seeNaplesIt's really uncomfortable to perform like this. Last season they were the defending champions and had a great result, but this season, how did things get so bad?
Let's start with Napoli's last two games. Against Inter Milan and Juventus, these two strong teams, Napoli actually lost one after another. Especially this one recentlyLost 1-0 to Juventus, it's like adding insult to injury. I remember last season, Napoli had 41 points, but now, they only have 24 points. The gap is too big, and it is really surprising and disappointing to go from the championship favorite to the current situation.
In this game, Napoli did not perform very well. Although they had more shots on goal than Juventus, the quality was really poor. After 90 minutes, only one shot on goal hit the target, and he couldn't even grasp the most basic chances. Juve, on the other hand, although they did not have many shots on goal, were efficient, and finally won the game thanks to Gatti's header.
Speaking of Gatti, he is a real hero for Juventus. Scoring goals in two consecutive league games has helped the team move steadily up the standings. If Juventus can win the title, Gatti will definitely play a role.
For Napoli, the defeat has left them even more at the top of the table. Now 12 points down, it's a disaster for them. To make matters worse, if Inter beat Udinese at home, the gap between Napoli and the top of the table will continue to widen. Consecutive losses to the top two of the table are enough to show that Napoli currently have no strength to compete for the title.
On the other hand, however, Napoli's slump is an opportunity for other teams. EspeciallyRome, they have already taken the opportunity to finish in the top four. Roma have failed in the race for the top four in the last two seasons, but this time it was up to them to see if they could take it.
This is really good news for us Roma fans. Napoli's sluggishness gave Roma a chance. Personally, I'm very much expecting Roma to beat Fiorentina at home in this round so that their fourth place position will be more secure.
Overall, this season's Serie A is really full of variables. Despite the disappointing performance of Naples, the rise of Roma has given us new hope. As a regular fan, I just want to see more exciting games and feel the joy and excitement that football brings. Hopefully Napoli can get back on track sooner rather than later, and hopefully Roma can take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
