Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it was still quite disturbing to lose so badly even in a match that didn't really matter against a club that was weaker than them in every way, which was quite disappointing and a disgrace for a big club.

Indeed, for their reasons in this case it is quite understandable because the current situation they are still not very good in Serie A and prefer to look for better opportunities, namely the Champions League and Serie A rather than the Italian Cup but if this is deliberately losing with an embarrassing score like this I think something is not too wrong in the body of Napoli even though we know most of the players are young players who are given more opportunities to show their skills on the field.

I'm sure a lot of people have lost faith in Napoli this season, the way they were eliminated in the Coppa Italia cannot be accepted by common sense. How could the goal margin reach 4-0, that is very embarrassing and raises a lot of questions. Choosing to be eliminated in the Italian Cup is not a good idea, because who knows, that is the most realistic trophy that can be achieved this season.

Mazzarri is not a good successor in replacing Garcia, in fact I think Garcia quality is still better than him. This is what most people worry about, that changing coaches does not guarantee that everything will be better, Mazzarri proved this to be true by making Napoli lose one competition.

In Serie A, I think Napoli only has a chance to finish in the UCL zone, while talking about defending the Scudetto is over. I mean it is no longer possible to catch up on points from Inter, especially if Napoli management releases Osimhen in the January transfer window, that will be a setback for Napoli.

Talking about doubts actually in this case I saw from the beginning when Spalleti left that many doubted Napoli because they would experience a transition and it did happen and after a few games done at the beginning of the season towards the middle of the season now it continues and surely the doubts continue to grow as time goes by.

Napoli currently have a very small chance of retaining their Scudetto especially with their current form but on the other hand there could be a miracle by expecting a lot of instability for some of the big clubs above them while they improve themselves even though it is mission impossible.
But even so, their target to be in the Champions League next season must at least be maintained even if they cannot defend the Scudetto they got last season.
