Having said that, Napoli, as someone mentioned earlier, have earned the right of being the dark horses in this season's CL. I really would like them to go all the way.

I hope for all the three Italian teams to go through to the quarters and from there avoid each other, that unless circumstance forces them into a direct clash between them, for example in the case of all the three making it to the semis.

Forza Napoli, forza Serie A :mental:

thanks for admiration but i have to admit though that napoli midfield is a bit stronger than us as a unit... guys like inler and gargano pretty underrated and amazing with respect to nocerino and van bommel who are great individual players. our strength is forwards and CBs... and abate, we still dont have good fullbacks with exception to him.

napoli&s biggest strength is their supporters, the way napoli team channels those motivation through the crowd is amazing. its like napoli has far more mental and psychological advantage than milan. in that respect, they are way better than us. they play with grit and determination, thats what makes them a step ahead of others...

I agree with you on Napoli's supporters being crucial to their success, they really push their team to perform to their best. They are their 12th man, as journos would put it. Amazing fans.

Again, I agree with you on Napoli being a team that defends as a unit, and Milan having some pretty average fullbacks( Well, Abate is above average at best). However, department wise, Milan's defense is better than Napoli's.

In the midfield, although Milan no longer boast of the elegent, creative and crafty midfielders they were once synonymous with, they do have an entirely different kind of midfield really suits their new style of play. The likes of Boateng, Nocerino( how I regret Juve threw him away as a deal sweetener to get Amauri of all people ) and Emanuelson are machines who can run all day and in the case of first two, possess some wicked ability to shoot from distance and being accurate at that.

ur exactly right, our philosophy has changed. before we had hordes of technical geniuses in pirlo seedorf rui costa kaka and now we have like midfield with defensive qualities and work rate. i think thats why sometimes we milan fail because will they ensure some kind of safety but they cant provide, hence the forwards fail horribly. as shown against spurs, against juve.

so our forwards have to do solo work. napoli is all about team work, those 3 tridents working perfectly while never neglecting team duty of defending, even lavezzi hamsik and cavani defends. something ibra robinho pato doesnt do.

lol at nocerino i actually am shocked how milan pulled this deal off. well i guess one club loss is another one gain, just like pirlo. he has found new motivation and hunger there. well galliani and allegri says its technical decision to let pirlo go but its obvious they are lying, they are regretting this.

also u guys got good player in matri who i think if he were to be in milan now would do admirably well.

i think napoli will do just like schalke 04. maybe to bee in final or win CL is a biig ask but if they do it, then it would be a fairytale. i would be happy for them.

I think they(Napoli) are stronger than Schalke was last season. You are right, wining the CL is asking too much, but I hope they advance to quarters, and then avoid the two Spanish teams, Milan and Inter(not that Napoli can't kick them out, but for the co-officiants' sake I hope they avoid them).

Napoli can easily deal with the rest of the teams, Bayern included.

Napoli are certainly capable of beating any side in the CL given 3 conditions: they have their big three available and fully fit (Hamsik, Cavani and Lavezzi), they win the midfield (this relies heavily on good performances from Gargano and Inler), and they keep the pressure off of their back three (no matter how well they play, the back three are susceptible to pressure when the opposition get enough attackers forward). We've seen their quality in the group stage this season. If they can recreate the conditions that allowed them to acheive those results, any team in Europe will have their hands full.

Draw or not draw Napoli can't win it all ,they are just not good enough ... with those defenders , their time is running out, qf exit is my prediction .

you guyz are funny. ok then

lets make a deal

if napoli qualify for the semifinals i will leave this forum ok?

no matter their opponent either is real madrid or barca or benfica if they manage to qualify for the semis ill leave this forum and never come again.

Close call :vagi:

DI do you know how stupid and asinine you even sound right now?

1. Napoli's tie is not even over.

2. Napoli don't have a chance in hell of winning the CL with teams like Barca and Madrid.

3. With this paper thin squad do you really expect Napoli to win the CL?

If Napoli win it then I will leave this forum

Edit: Deaddrave beat me to it pretty much, but I will leave if they win still

Excuse me for my curiosity but why do grown up men act like Napoli winning champions league would be the end of the world? Did Cavani, Lavezzi or Hamsik kill someone? Steal your girlfriend?
I could understand you dismiss Napoli for being weak but your reactions are over the top :faceplam:

People who insult other people ain't asinine to begin with.
1. the tie is as good as over. see how teams wrap up ties like professionals!
2. every team has a chance to win champions league. some of them more, some less.
3. our paper thin squad is still better than Milan's poster boys.

thank you

Excellent!

I think today goes to show that it ain't over till the fat lady sings. Arsenal almost won the tie. Chelsea could surprise Napoli. You never know in football...

I respect FC Chelsea a lot but Napoli wins like a team and goes down like one! The first eleven is full of passionate professional players I'm proud of the boys! If they lose they gave everything but wasn't enough. We don't have washed up overpaid stars like Milan. Milanelo watch how professionals wrap up a tie lol

1. Wanna place a bet on it? I predict Chelsea will make a sensational comeback against Napoli and show them who's boss. A friendly signature bet. And if you think this tie is over just by a 2 goal lead going into stamford bridge. Guess again.

2. What is this romanticism? Far from the truth

3. Really? Than why did we win the Scudetto and not you last year? Why are we first and you 5th? 1 win in 2 years does not validate anything.

And yes you do sound asinine given your arrogance from the start.

you r the one who underestimates all top clubs and try to put yours in the same level which is not no matter what others say, you r the one who said madrid is an overrated bunch.. mhm seriously? what about the other bayern's backline is meh.. seriously? did you beat them at least once in the group stages with their meh backline? and you also believe you can eliminate barca with the 10% ball possession you'll have?

sorry but i can take all these as a "football is football and anything can happen so napoli has a slighty chance to win the CL" but noway you have as much chances as madrid barca or bayern have.

so wake up and realize what team you support. the 5th team in serie a...

i know you r trying to enjoy your self since you reached so far in CL
but the same i can say about basel they had a tough group as well and they also won the first leg against bayern. does that mean they have same chances to win it cause they played better opponents than real madrid did?

You make sense finally! Potential is potential. Proven is proven!
However Basel won 1-0 at home. The tie is wide open.

apologies divine intervention ... maybe i have hyperopia lol

yes we havent beaten big clubs in serie a due to luck, injuries, and some bad form early season because of new arrivals having to collaborate with the team

Gargano is so underrated

Surag wrote:Yes i do believe they have a better starting eleven than Milan atleast on paper.

League standings are irrelevant in this argument anyways as on their day when everyone's fit and on form ,Napoli will be too much for Milan.

If Milan win this year's Champions League ,i would see this as the season where other top quality teams have grossly underachieved.

League standing irrelevant when comparing teams? Made my day lol.

So you already have an excuse if Milan wins? You Juventus fans make me lol, ever since you got relegated then finished 7th twice in a row, you've gotten an inferiority complex over the two Milans. If we win this year, it will be due to Allegri and that players. We are one of the best teams in the world, no matter how much excuses you make.

Win CL? Impossibru. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
