Napoli have never been favourites for the title in Serie A. It is true that they played well last season. The performances of teams like Juventus and Inter Milan were very poor. Napoli, on the other hand, have played consistently well. So the team has no problem winning the title. But this season I don't think Napoli are favourites for the title. And I have already got the proof. Napoli's performance is unstable as usual. Another reason for Napoli not being champions is that Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus are in very good form. And I guess only one of these three teams will be champions this time.
Rudi Garcia's match strategy is not good. He is not able to boost the confidence of the players. Napoli are scoring plenty of goals but still their overall performance is unstable.
Napoli winning the scudetto last season was not an unfortunate event, but they deserved to be acknowledged. Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus all performed below Napoli, who was fantastic and hammered most of their opponents last season. Perhaps this season will be different, and games are likely to become more challenging for Napoli. They face difficulties that the newly appointed manager, Rudi Garcia, has yet to identify viable solutions to. Though his job is on the line, the board have zero patience to exercised because they can't stand and watch the team fold up in performance specifically against average clubs.
