Napoli continue to suffer a low block in Serie A, with three goals conceded in a single match which saw the club reduce the result from 2‑0 to 3‑2. The defeat, which occurred against Bodo, saw Napoli lose a victory that seemed within reach after an hour of good play, while a McTominay player once again put the Neapolitan team in difficulty in the 83rd minute.
Massimiliano Allegri, known for his attention to results, once again found himself having to cling to the performances of his staff. Napoli have conceded 17 goals in 11 games, a poor record reminiscent of the 2001-02 season in Serie B. In the league, the team is currently in 11th place with just 11 points after eight matches, their worst start in the last sixteen years. The ranking shows a Napoli that has gone from first and second place to mid-table, with the risk of sliding further towards the right side of the scoreboard.
The coach visibly showed frustration at the end of the match, especially due to the fact that his red card will prevent him from being on the bench in the next match against Monza. Allegri also highlighted the defensive difficulties, conceding three more goals in a match in which the defense was particularly weak. In his post on Dazn, he stated that he had changed his game approach, focusing on a more aggressive attack with four attackers, but admitted that he had difficulty commenting on the match after 25 years of experience.
With the season still underway, Napoli will have to try to get back on track if they want to avoid dropping to the bottom of the table. The next match against Monza will represent a crucial opportunity to reverse the negative trend and try to recover precious points.
