The poor result in the first match certainly made Conte very upset. In fact, fans and a number of betting exchanges favored Conte to achieve his first victory. Yes, even though this is just the start of the league, there is still a chance for Conte to improve his strategy. Osimhen may be on his way out because he is no longer in Conte's plans, it seems that Lukaku will be the new mainstay for Napoli's attack line.
Napoli lost 3 nil to Verona in the opening matchday in Italy. This is really a dissapointing result for the Parthenopeans and not improving. However they will do better in their next game, they just have to stick around for better results. Napoli headcoach, Antonio Conte is new to the team and there's basically more sectors and planning to put in place.
Victor Osimhen should be having terrible moment because he's not available to deliver his team. There's definitely huge progress for the club but it will definitely take lengthy period of time with the new coach incharge.
Napoli was utter shite in the game against Verona. And it seems Napoli players have struggled to adapt to a new setup every few months. Napoli played from 4 defender, then 5 defender system under Mazzari. Then again, it switched back to 4 defender system under Calzona. Now, it's back to 5 defender system under Conte. It's probably making them confused.
Also, Napoli's defense is worsening. I can't believe how I've seen worse defenders (Juan Jesus, Rrahmani, and Di Lorenzo) play together at the back. And think Juan Jesus is also the worst defender in Serie A too.
Napoli's problems run deeper than the backline or formations. It's about flexibility, and frankly, management has to step forward. Transposing a 4-back for a 5-back? That marks a tremendous change. Conte's method is hard and players need time to adjust. It's about discipline as well as defence, and such things take time to develop
The story of Osimhen? That is a distraction. Players understand the headlines; they are human. That doubt spills onto the pitch. Napoli require consistency. Sort the transfers, let the dust to settle. Juan Jesus, Di Lorenzo, these men are strong but they require a defined structure if they are to shine. Conte sees something, but it's on him to make sense of it. There is no short fix for this. It's about creating a harmonic unit, and that takes time. Should they be able to resolve these problems, we will witness development
