The worst and most embarrassing club is indeed Napoli. This is Conte's debut, but the defeat was 0-3 from Verona, it was very embarrassing.

unfortunately the coach did not use Victor Oshimen in this first match they should have used a productive striker in important matches they also have to take advantage of the opportunities this season because they do not have UEFA matches.

The issue related to Osimhen's transfer is Napoli's current problem. Napoli, through the CEO, they do not like this condition because it makes Napoli's condition unclear. While the Osimhen transfer market is really deadlocked. On the other hand, Napoli needs money immediately to sign Lukaku, but that should be obtained from the sale of Osimhen, and that has not happened yet. So, Conte also has problems in preparing players.

And because of this defeat, Napoli actually criticized Osimhen's management regarding the lack of movement in the transfer market, which created obstacles for Napoli.

Something that was feared had happened, Napoli were slaughtered 3-0 without reply by a mediocre club, because Conte did not get the budget to build the squad he wanted. The defeat was certainly very embarrassing, tarnished Conte reputation in Serie A, and indicated that Napoli had not fully recovered. Who is to blame when in a situation like this, Napoli management certainly deserves criticism for their attitude of being too slow to complete the Osimhen transfer, because everyone knows that they rely on the profit from the sale of Osimhen to be able to move in the transfer market.

Conte also could not include Osimhen in his line-up because the player was on the sales list, that would be too risky. The adaptation period is understandable, but not with a 3-0 defeat, that would be too disappointing. This result will make Conte and his players depressed, expectations for Napoli revival become bland. It seems that Conte must work around the situation by maximizing the available players, without having to hope for new recruits that they can bring in. Lukaku's signature won't be possible until Osimhen is cashed in, that's what we believe at the moment.
