Beating Fiorentina and advancing to the final of the Italian Super Cup was the expected result, a sign of revival to restart what they lost before. The Italian Super Cup is Napoli only hope this season, because in my opinion that is the trophy that is closest and most likely for them to achieve. However, another fact is who their opponents will be in the final. If Inter Milan manages to beat Lazio then Napoli chances of winning the trophy are probably very low. Because we know that Inter are very strong this season, it will be difficult for Napoli to beat them, but we'll see who knows if Lazio will have greater luck.
Overall, in my opinion, the 3-0 victory over Fiorentina cannot be used as a complete reference, to say that Mazzarri squad has marked a turning point in performance. In the future, Napoli will face Lazio again in Serie A, a match that is relevant to see Napoli strength, whether they have really recovered and are fighting to finish in their rightful place. Many doubt Napoli at the moment, especially after two changes of coach, and key player Osimhem is not performing at his best in this season.
Napoli who are current champions of Italy have performed poorly in the league this season and sincerely the win against Fiorentina wasn’t expected but it seems they’re taking this cup more serious as this could be their only title for the season. Now they’re in the final amd could face either Inter or Lazio which are 2 strong and better teams. Facing Inter would be pretty worse than playing Lazio as Inter are better composed than Lazio and would offer more strength and fight as they’ve got a better team. Well for Lazio we’ll wait to see how they fair in the 2nd leg when they play Lazio soon then we’ll know how the fixture could go.
Well I don’t think Napoli are at their very best especially as they let the coach who helped them with the league go and the hate on their star man, Victor. Now the team’s performance is going down and it’s quite worrisome but they can try to get this cup to at least redeem the fans happiness.
