    Finally watched a full game today. "Kvaradona" is electrifying. KMJ did well but could be considered at fault for the 1st goal. Hate to see the streak come to an end.

    So he didn't bother contesting for both headers that led to the goals?

    Kvara and Kim (his wife's) got their cars stolen in Napoli. They don't need this crap, they should just be worrying about football, not security breaches for themselves and their families.

    This happening to the wealthy celebrities is a sign of how dangerous a city has become. Wealthy people tend to live in the safer areas. Los Angeles and San Francisco are other examples. These cities releasing the criminals not long after capture exacerbates the problem. Many people have left those two cities. Seoul is usually safe, but a lot of the members of the labor union have been causing trouble during these past few years. During their protests, many of them get drunk and harass the pedestrians. I witnessed it myself. One guy even threw a water bottle at my car. One of the reasons why there wasn't enough police presence in Itaewon during Halloween was because most of Seoul's police were sent to the mass labor union protest on the same night. Another issue is the corrupt police department in Itaewon. They failed or refused to act quickly for hours despite the numerous calls for help, which is highly sketchy. Both were revealed on the news. There are other suspicious issues that are suspected to have caused the tragedy in Itaewon, which have been revealed only on YouTube so far. And it has been revealed that the number of various illegal drugs increased in Korea during the previous administration. Fentanyl, which technically isn't illegal in Korea but only allowed to the people going through severe physical pain, is very easy for anyone to obtain in Korea.

    def his worst this season. mental mistakes esp on their 2nd goal, directly responsible. And he knew it. No excuses but, needs a rest after playing all the CL and League matches. But Spaletti had no choice to ride him with Rahmani out.

    Why move when Napoli are literally building a super team. Ride it out for a couple years Kim...

    This. Napoli are on fire atm with Kvaradona, Osimhen, Zielinski, Lozano etc. plus they have a fantastic manager Spalletti as well. No reason to give this all up just to move to an even bigger club that does not guarantee the security of your career, especially considering how fast he broke into with Napoli as a regular starter, plus the fans love him as well; no way he'll get this type of opportunity/treatment with RM. Just like Lee Kang-in turning down RM in favor of guaranteed playing time, Kim Min-jae should do the same.

    If you guys think Napoli will be able to retain all their best talent for multiple years, you're in for a rude awakening. They will never be able to build a superteam that competes year after year like Liverpool or Manchester City. Players like Kvara are bound to move somewhere else within the next 2-3 years as they seek higher wages.

    I hope KMJ wins the Scudetto and has a successful CL campaign, but sees Napoli as a stepping stone to move to a bigger club in the next 2-3 years. I don't know if he'd be an automatic starter at Real Madrid, but the first Asian player playing at the biggest club in the world would be a tremendous deal.

    LKI's situation is completely different as he wasn't getting playing time even at Valencia. KMJ is quickly establishing himself as one of the best centerbacks in Europe and it would be a waste of opportunity not to entertain the idea of moving to a bigger club whether its in the EPL or La Liga when the time is right.

    Don't sign that contract KMJ.

    I would want him to move to AC Milan or Bayern Munich. Real Madrid strike me as a racist, toxic place.

    The way Napoli lost was even worse. It took penalty shoot-out to lose against a horrible team.

    Juventus, who is very obviously Napoli's biggest competition, has been given 15 point deduction. Finally a Korean gets a big trophy lol.
