I can still admit that Napoli is part of a big Serie A team, but not an elite team. Because basically, Napoli is not always able to be in the titlerace everyseason, so it is notsurprising and notstrange if this season Napoli is not in the title race and even Napoli not in the top four. For me, the results obtained by Napoli this season are still normal results, it doesn't matter about Napoli who managed to win the Scudetto last season because anyway, the fact is that last season teams like Milan, Inter and Juventus also didn't have a consistent performance so it became a naturalresult if Napoli is able to take advantage of the good opportunities they got last season. But one thing that I am sure of is that Napoli is not a team that is always in contention for the title, so Napoli decline in performance thisseason remains a natural result.
Napoli is indeed inescapable one of the big teams and has a long history in the Italian league, after they managed to reach the Scudetto last season actually now Napoli seems to lose their performance in the league and even they have to be eliminated early in the Champions League this season, I personally see if in fact Napoli still has a great chance to end the season in the European zone especially in the Conference League, And they just need consistency to face the remaining of the game.
Despite their status as the defending champion team in Serie A, Napoli this season was not able to show their performance as well as last season, and I think slowly they began to lower their target from defending the Scudetto instead now only focused on getting tickets to the European competition zone next season, the decline in Napoli's performance this season certainly cannot be separated from the departure of their coach last season which was able to make Napoli a scary club and Their in last season only suffered 4 defeats in the league, the departure of Luciano Spalletti to the Italian national team is certainly the beginning of Napoli's current destruction.
