By defeating defending champions AC Milan 2-1 in a spectacular Sunday night football match, SSC Napoli sent a strong message to their title rivals and finished September atop the Serie A standings. Sincerity aside, both sides performed admirably and won matches, but fortunately for Napoli, they picked up the point.
Napoli's success in conquering Milan shows that they are ready to conquer Serie A this season. However, Napoli's journey to embrace the Scudetto is still very long. Napoli has shown a very positive development to date. If this trend is stable until the end of the season, then it is very likely that Napoli's mission to reach the Scudetto will be achieved.
Napoli's appearance this season was beyond the expectations of many people, Napoli played very well in Serie A until the 7th round unbeaten.
Before beating AC Milan, previously Napoli also managed to beat Lazio. This means that Napoli have played consistently this season. If we look
at Napoli's game against AC Milan, it looks like their teamwork is very solid, and Napoli's attacks are also quite varied. In my opinion, although
AC Milan dominated the match, AC Milan's game was too monotonous and there was no creativity in building attacks. AC Milan had too many
missed shots and was too hasty in their attacks. So the attack that AC Milan built was not effective at all. So it's only natural that Napoli won
the game.
Even Napoli's performance in the Champions League surprised me, because Napoli also performed very well in the Champions League.
Which in two matches in the Champions League Napoli managed to beat Liverpool and Rangers with a fairly large score. If we look
at Napoli's performance this season, I would not be surprised if Napoli finally won the Serie A trophy. Moreover, Inter and Juventus performances
have also declined this season, and for Atalanta I'm not sure they can perform consistently until the end of the season. So Napoli's toughest rival
may only be AC Milan, but AC Milan has also been defeated by Napoli, so Napoli's chances of winning the Serie A trophy are quite large.
