Sarri new Napoli coach

Boy are they playing beautiful football or what

Charming man.

He could work wonders for Napoli, But no manager is going to make title charges consistently with that team until they seriously try and sort out the defensive personnel.

Disagreed. He changed the system , and Napoli looks like a team more sold with a midfielder with 3 men while Benitez insisted with 4-2-3-1 and you can't play with just 2 midfielders in italy.
Allan was the best Serie A midfielder so far, he is giving an improvement in that role never seen in a team always carried only from its attack..
Jorginho looks like a different player under Sarri, he was meh last 2 years, now he is showing to merit that money spent to take him from Hellas
And then ... Insigne.
Incredibly developed under Sarri.
A player totally different than that seen under Mazzarri and Benitez.
This is because of manager. Great credit to Sarri for it.
tbh we 're watching also the best Higuain seen in Italy so far , but Higuain is always been a great CF so it has to do with Higuain imo and not with the manager

Many pundits consider him one of most tactically sound manager in Europe. Can someone affirm

It's Fiorentina's turn to get Sarri'd .

Napoli seem to be really taking off

I really believe they can win the league this year. For me it's between them and Roma.

And they are definitely one of the favorites for EL.

Once Juve stabilise, they will steamroll back to first by Jan.

Napoli are going to challenge though. And they are one of the favourites for EL definitely.


But let's not forget that few strong teams will drop down to EL as well from Cl.

They give me the perception to be a  " big team " who have Never given really to me under Mazzarri and Benitez.
For me now they are a "real team "  because finally they've have a midfield with Allan ( inler ? behrami ? gargano ? pls . )  and not just 3 great ofefnsive difference maker.
They're a real team capable to score with more player and it doesn't rotate around a player , not even around Higuain.
atm they are easily best Serie A team , we'll see if they'll continue on this street.
But they give me a sensation never realized during these year although they got leagues very good...

That goal sums up Napoli this season

No way they're winning the league with such a subpar defense.

Not sure if sarcasm or a vision

I find it hilarious that out of the 8 matches played, Napoli's 4 wins have come against Juve, Milan, Lazio, and Fiorentina. While losing points against scrubs like Sassuolo, Carpi, and Empoli.

If a trend like that continues on it may have been premature of me to think they're winning the league

Sounds like West Ham, too.

Sassuolo is definitely legit tbh.
They are the Italian Southampton.

At least Reina is a real GK in place of Rafeal , and Hysaj  CAN defend  really unlike Maggio and Zuniga.

Maradona on sarri:

"I don't know what happened this summer but Benitez was a guarantee for this side," Maradona told local Naples television station Piuenne, in quotes reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I respect Sarri, but he's not the right coach for a winning Napoli. They gave Sarri a huge birthday present [by appointing him]. "I would have kept Benitez. Besides, it's not like he's out of work -- he's sat on the bench at Real Madrid now so somebody has clearly got it wrong, and we're seeing what a mistake they have made now. wrote:

From that moment I realized Sarri would have got a great league with Napoli.

Jesus.
Maradona really has no brain left.

Oh well, with the amount of coke he did the Cuban doctors worked wonders to keep him from being dead, even at the price of him being braindead.

Not content with being only the better player, Maradona is now trying to out-Pele Pele's predictions

I can't wait until Pele tries to out-coke Maradona.

Sarri on Insigne after he showed anger on being substituted:

"If only everybody would be so angry when they come off the field," Sarri said. "The angrier they are, the better it is for us. It's anything but a controversy when a player is annoyed to be substituted. Now it is up to him to explain himself to the rest of the teammates because he didn't show respect for them, but for me the angrier he is when being subbed, the better wrote:

Surely knows how to set them straight

Sarri has rejuvenated Insigne

and Hamsik is almost back to his old self .
he was a ghost under Benitez .

I honestly didn't know who Sarri was before he took over Napoli but he seems to know exactly what he's doing.
