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.
Rudi Garcia's task this season is not easy because the team he is currently managing has experienced a decline in performance. So Napoli is starting to be beaten by teams that are not very strong in Serie A this season and in general Napoli is also starting to fall behind some of the rivals they beat last season. Now everyone can see that AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus have made a distance from Napoli in the Serie A standings so that Napoli may have difficulty catching these three teams this season.
