Napoli was utter shite in the game against Verona.

I honestly did not expect Napoli to lose by three goals, truly scandalous from this point of view. It makes me understand that they are in a really bad situation: clearly it is the first match so the considerations I am making are time consuming but it is truly a humiliating result.

There is no denying that Napoli started the campaign badly, Verona went beyond expectations and made many bettors lose. With the match ending 3-0 for Verona victory, Napoli has become like a loser, the most painful thing is losing Kvaratskhelia at the end of the first half. Personally, I assume Napoli steps to rise in the future will be increasingly difficult, with the club internal situation still disturbed by the Osimhen transfer saga. It can be said that Conte has not fully prepared the team, so it is not surprising that Napoli suffered a big defeat.

Overall, the results of the match against Verona were indeed very embarrassing, because Napoli is the only elite Serie A club to lose in the first week. Conte openly apologized to Napoli fans, and promised to try to secure full points in the next match, he took full responsibility for the bad results. Actually, Conte himself tried to reduce the fans expectations that were too high since his arrival, after seeing the club transfer plans hampered, he could not promise much. However, every fan certainly hopes that their favorite club can finish in a better place than last season, and if possible, Conte can lead Napoli to finish in the European competition zone at the end of the season.

Antonio Conte can make few promises as Napoli reign begins with bad defeat : https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/article/2024/aug/19/serie-a-antonio-conte-napoli-inter-milan
