Of course, Napoli must prepare well for this season, however, being a defending champions, this will become a burden for players who have just joined. Coaches must be able to increase the confidence of new players so they can play well as a team. BTW, Napoli had a friendly match against SPAL with a final score of 1 - 1, maybe this cannot reflect Napoli's strength this season, but this match should be enough to serve as a "warning" for Spalleti. The real challenge will come!
Overall this season there are not many changes to the Napoli squad they just released 3 players and brought in 3 players as well and Napoli can try it in pre-season matches, I don't see any mental constraints on them except on strategy because Napoli has a new coach so at least he has to understand the character of his players first it may take more time. If we monitor player transfer activity in Serie A, it seems that there are no competitors who are strengthening their squad instead most of them let go of important players as we know, financial problems are the main factor.
Although this match cannot be used as a benchmark but still, playing against Spal, which is also the fact that Spal is only a mediocre team which playing in Serie B. Then of course, Napoli should be able to win in this match, but Napoli only got a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, the fact is that Napoli can still play Osimhen but still, Osimhen also seems unable to do much in this match to score goals and make Napoli win. Spal is also not a good team in Serie B and in fact, Spal also only finished in the relegation zone last season in Serie B standing. With such a big difference in quality, Napoli shouldn't only get a 1-1 draw against Spal in this match, quite disappointing.
